Worst: We played with Godsmack in Finland in the middle of winter and we were completely hunghover. We played like shit and the audience didn't move a muscle.
'FAN' EXPERIENCE
First: We won an award in 2001, and Iggy Pop presented it to us. I was wearing a jacket that said 'Your pretty face is going to hell' on the back. He said 'ooh, young man, you have great taste in clothing'. That was simply amazing.
Worst: There was one lady who tried to get to know me by attacking me with a pair of scissors - cutting bits of my hair out. I was in a bar once and I heard this 'schnick' noise, I turn round and she's there cutting my hair off, crying and laughing like a proper real life lunatic.
ALCOHOL
First: Getting drunk was easy; a bottle of red wine and three beers and I was sick all over the place. I was probably 12 or 13.
Worst: Once I got so drunk and depressed after a bad gig that I was doing tightrope walking on the hotel balcony railing of the 13th floor. Thank God Linde came and rescued me.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
First: An Ibanez guitar. I snapped two strings and thought the whole thing was broken so my friends and I went into the yard and destroyed the guitar. Later on someone told me you can change the strings.
Worst: We were so bored on one tour that we all boughts silly instruments, and I got a violin. I couldn't play it so it sounded horrendous. The band just stole it and I haven't seen it since.
TROUBLE WITH THE LAW
First: We broke into an old shopping mall, and it just so happened that some other people had broken in and started smashing things up so the police had been called. That took a long time to explain.
Worst: Me and a friend were driving around Finland, and we ended up driving the same route as a couple of fugitive bank robbers. The police thought we were the robbers and started ringing our parents. Luckily for us they caught the robbers and we didn't get arrested.
CRUSH
First: Probably Madonna. She was always a bit more risqué than the rest. Madonna's the reason I first started wanking.
Worst: I had a crush on David Hasselhoff, I wanted to be in his pants but in a platonic way. I think I probably wanted to be like him.
