What would you like it to say on your gravestone?
“Well to quote the great Andrew Dice Clay I’d have, ‘I was over there… and now I’m over here’. And don’t lay flowers on my grave while we’re on the subject. No-one ever bought me flowers when I was alive so don’t do it when I die. Drape a bra from it, like when someone throws one onstage and you hang it on the headstock of your guitar.”
What is the most disgusting thing you’ve ever eaten?
“Probably my own vomit. I was bullied in middle school and this one time I needed to throw up. I knew if I was sick in class they’d make fun of me and beat me up after class, so I threw up in my mouth and chewed it back out of fear. Let’s move on…”
Have you ever seen a ghost?
“I have not seen a ghost, even though I did seances and ghost-hunting when I was younger. I do believe there are entities walking all around us, but I now think it’s a realm that no-one should even attempt to go into. The more I’ve read into these things, the more terrifying it’s become to me. There’s a whole world we don’t know about.”
What is the worst injury you’ve ever suffered?
“There have been a few but you’d be amazed how easy it is to knock your front teeth out. I’ve had them knocked out and replaced several times in my life. I’ve chipped them fighting in school, then it was microphones and guitars. I actually knocked my teeth out the first time I played the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood.
What’s your biggest fear?
“I have a fear reaction to snakes and spiders. They’re just little things but the most profound fear is that we live in a world that is completely opposite to how most people think it is. We put people in power and vote for people who do not care about us at all. I think where we’re heading is the most terrifying thing of all.”
