==Character history==
==Character history==
=== GTA Vice City ===
===Early life===
Paul has contacts with biker gangs, but has had a falling-out with [[Mitch Baker|Mitch Baker's]] [[Vice City Bikers|gang]]. He is very "good with rumors", has information on most of the major crime units of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], and seems to have contacts in certain [[SWAT]] divisions. He tipped [[Tommy Vercetti]] off about [[Leo Teal|Leo Teal's]] part in the ambush at the start of the game. He is also, however, a pathological liar and a suspected drug addict. Paul acts as a manager to the rock band [[Love Fist]] and is usually found at the local [[Malibu Club|Malibu]] night club in [[Vice Point]]. He claims to have moved to the United States in 1982 at the age of 17, which would suggest he was born in 1965. At first Tommy and Paul have a strong dislike towards each other, but they soon become close acquaintances after meeting up with [[Love Fist]]. After acquiring the [[InterGlobal Studios|film studios]], Tommy receives a call from Paul, in which Paul claims to have acted in pornography movies in England, and would like a role in one of Tommy's films.
Born in Salford in 1965, Maccer broke into the music scene in an unknown year. He invented a musical style that became known as "EXTREMELY BAGGY", and became notorious for his hard partying lifestyle, usage of drugs and self abuse, and for breaking musical taboos. This lifestyle would leave Maccer with a stuttering voice and hypersexuality in the form of compulsive masturbation. Forming a band called the Gurning Chimps under the management of a man named Pabsy, the Chimps embarked on a world tour. At some point during the tour, Pabsy vanished and the band ended up under the management of [[Kent Paul]], who took them to America.


=== GTA San Andreas ===
===GTA San Andreas===
Paul bought a new English band, the [[Gurning Chimps]], and moved to [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] to have them noticed. He and the band at some point meet aging hippie [[The Truth]], who takes them out to the desert and has them consume peyote, causing them to become stranded from each other. He and only one member of the band remaining, lead singer [[Maccer]], are [[Don Peyote|rescued]] by [[The Truth]]'s acquaintance and protagonist [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] as a favor for the hippie. Upon being rescued, Paul quickly heads to [[Las Venturas]] to meet his old acquaintance [[Ken Rosenberg|Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg]]. When [[Salvatore Leone]] arrives in Las Venturas and begins to run [[Caligula's Casino]], Paul, Maccer and Rosie quickly become targets for Salvatore and it is only a matter of time before they are whacked. With Carl's assistance, they escape Las Venturas unharmed and lie low in an unknown town, presumably [[Los Santos]]. Later, Paul starts producing for rehabilitating rapper [[Madd Dogg]] to bring his career back on track. During [[Saint Mark's Bistro|his escape from Las Venturas]], he is seen driving a blue [[Sentinel]].
Paul hooked the Chimps up with a local drug dealer named [[The Truth]], who took the band into the [[Bone County]] desert on a "[[Don Peyote|peyote safari]]". The trip went bad, with The Truth waking up separated from the band in a [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] Japanese bathhouse.  Later, The Truth asks his friend, protagonist [[Carl Johnson|Carl "CJ" Johnson]] to go find them out on [[Arco del Oeste]], but by the time Carl found them, the other members of the Chimps had vanished, leaving Paul and Maccer behind. Carl takes Paul and Maccer looking for the rest of the Chimps, but after a close encounter with some angry snake farmers and no sign of the other Chimps, Paul decides to simply "pray they made it back to civilization", saying that "keyboardists and drummers are ten-a-penny anyway".
 
Paul asks Carl to drive them to [[Las Venturas]], where his old friend, disbarred former lawyer [[Ken Rosenberg|Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg]], is involved in running Caligula's Palace, a renowned mob casino, owned by three feuding Mafia families, with Rosie set as a neutral party. Paul and Maccer are taken hostage by Leone family don and surviving mob boss [[Salvatore Leone]] to ensure Rosie's cooperation. When Salvatore asks Carl to perform a hit on Saint Mark's Bistro in Liberty City, Carl tricks Salvatore into letting Rosie, Paul and Maccer go with him as backup. Instead of actually taking them, he has them leave for Los Santos.
 
On arriving in Los Santos, Paul and Maccer stay in recovering rapper [[Madd Dogg's Crib]] as Carl's guest for the remainder of the storyline, later appearing in the final cutscene on an occasion of celebration.

Maccer is the lead singer of the Gurning Chimps and is on his first tour of America. He is voiced by Shaun Ryder.[1] Maccer maintains a website, http://www.maccer.net.

Character history

Early life

Born in Salford in 1965, Maccer broke into the music scene in an unknown year. He invented a musical style that became known as "EXTREMELY BAGGY", and became notorious for his hard partying lifestyle, usage of drugs and self abuse, and for breaking musical taboos. This lifestyle would leave Maccer with a stuttering voice and hypersexuality in the form of compulsive masturbation. Forming a band called the Gurning Chimps under the management of a man named Pabsy, the Chimps embarked on a world tour. At some point during the tour, Pabsy vanished and the band ended up under the management of Kent Paul, who took them to America.

GTA San Andreas

Paul hooked the Chimps up with a local drug dealer named The Truth, who took the band into the Bone County desert on a "peyote safari". The trip went bad, with The Truth waking up separated from the band in a Los Santos Japanese bathhouse. Later, The Truth asks his friend, protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson to go find them out on Arco del Oeste, but by the time Carl found them, the other members of the Chimps had vanished, leaving Paul and Maccer behind. Carl takes Paul and Maccer looking for the rest of the Chimps, but after a close encounter with some angry snake farmers and no sign of the other Chimps, Paul decides to simply "pray they made it back to civilization", saying that "keyboardists and drummers are ten-a-penny anyway".

Paul asks Carl to drive them to Las Venturas, where his old friend, disbarred former lawyer Ken "Rosie" Rosenberg, is involved in running Caligula's Palace, a renowned mob casino, owned by three feuding Mafia families, with Rosie set as a neutral party. Paul and Maccer are taken hostage by Leone family don and surviving mob boss Salvatore Leone to ensure Rosie's cooperation. When Salvatore asks Carl to perform a hit on Saint Mark's Bistro in Liberty City, Carl tricks Salvatore into letting Rosie, Paul and Maccer go with him as backup. Instead of actually taking them, he has them leave for Los Santos.

On arriving in Los Santos, Paul and Maccer stay in recovering rapper Madd Dogg's Crib as Carl's guest for the remainder of the storyline, later appearing in the final cutscene on an occasion of celebration.

After 1992

After the events of San Andreas, Maccer found the other members of The Gurning Chimps and carried on with a world tour. He was later banned from Australia[2] and went into rehab, using the Epsilon Program.[2] Maccer’s career was effectively stopped during this period due to a series of legal battles, including one lasting seven years,[3] limiting the use of songs by the Gurning Chimps. In 2004, Maccer began planning a come back tour.[4]

Trivia

  • During the mission Don Peyote if the player waits long enough Maccer will say he has to use the bathroom, and will then get out and urinate. A small animation will be shown before he gets back in the car.
  • According to a cut line, Paul says that Maccer is priapic; a syndrome where an erection lasts for several hours, or even days.
