Rattlesnake Rodney

Personal Life
Rattlesnake Rodney (real name Rodney Copperfield) is a punk singer and guitarist. He also plays the triangle. Rodney was born in Australia in 1968, but moved to England at the age of 5. Since then, he has had an almost fanatical obsession with Australian culture and music.

The King Gizzard Incident
Rodney is a big fan of the Australian band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and got his name from their popular song "Rattlesnake". However, he was banned from attending any of the group's future gigs when he brought a live rattlesnake to a meet and greet, in an attempt to poison lead guitarist and singer Stu Mackenzie. In an interview shortly after the incident, Mackenzie said "Fuck that guy, Charles Manson looking ass". Atleast 63% of band filed restraining orders on Copperfield following the incident.

To this day, Rodney maintains that he did nothing wrong and that the band are "a bunch of liberal snowflakes". Although he has never given an explanation, has been speculated that he was motivated to attempt to poison Stu Mackenzie after being frustrated by the enviromentalist themes of their albums "Fishing For Fishies" and "Infest the Rat's Nest" - his 1 star reviews of said albums where he described them as "woke propaganda" have been cited as evidence for this theory. Although he still enjoys the band's output, he is openly and publicly committed to pirating all of their music.

Guinea Pigs
As a hobby, Rodney runs an underground guinea pig fighting ring, where patrons can bet money on which rodent will survive and which one will be killed. He composed the piece "Music for Guinea Pigs to Engage in Battle to", which was designed to increase the aggression in the animals. It was banned shortly after its release by the BBC, due to its detailed instructions on how to make a pipe bomb.
