Meet your Ambassadors #8

[WonSickPuppy]

Introducing Jan Gallo, AKA Speedynek! Jan is one of our amazing Ambassadors from abroad and we can't wait for you to meet him!

1. Where are you from? What is the best thing about living there? 
I live in Zlin which is a small city in Czech Republic. The best thing? I would say it's good place for living. One thing that really sucks is that I have to go to Prague or Vienna for concerts.

2. Living there, how many other Ambassadors have you met at a Sick Puppies show? 
I met 3 ambassadors so far when the band was in UK back in 2011. There I met with Nicky from Netherlands, Mari from UK and Julie from Florida. Unfortunately Julie and Mari had to step down as Ambassadors. 

3. Any plans to visit the U.S. in the future? 
Definitely! I wanna meet all Ambassadors I know so hopefully my dream will finally come true. 

4. As an Ambassador, what team(s) are you on and what is your favorite part of being an Ambassador? 
I'm part of Last.fm/Youtube team. My favorite part? I think everything that we do as Ambassadors is great! Interacting with fans, promoting, etc. 

5. Which band have you not seen that you would like to? 
Phew, that would be a long list but I wanna see RED, Five Finger Death Punch, Foo Fighters, Tonight Alive and Hollywood Undead.

6. Do you find many Sick Puppies fans where you live? 
A little. Some people around me know a few songs like All The Same, White Ballons, Maybe, War, You're Going Down but one friend really loves the band and I hope they will join us really soon! Hi Rouzi! 

7. What is your favorite Sick Puppies song or songs? 
Anywhere but Here, You're Going Down, All The Same, I Hate You, In It For Life, Don't Walk Away, Die To Save You, Run, Connect, Walking Away, The Trick The Devil Did, Survive, War, My World, Pitiful, Where Did the Time Go, Nothing Really Matters, Every Day, Pathogen! I love all their songs and albums but those are my favorites. 

8. What's the strangest thing you've seen at any concert you've been to? 
Strangest? It was at SlipKnot's gig and there was a guy in the middle of the mosh pit looking for the parts from his phone. That was really weird to see.  

9. What's the best part about being an Ambassador? 
As I said before, I love everything we do but the best part would be probably brainstorming with other Ambassadors. It's so much fun to think about new projects. Also that even though they never met me, I know I can always count on them if I need help with anything. I never regret becoming an Ambassador. 

10. Which famous person would you like to hang out with for a day? 
Corey Taylor or Dave Grohl. I spoke with Corey after Stone Sour's concert in Prague in June and it was really cool. I want more!
