Is not real and nicked out your early equipment from David Bowie’s survey outside the Hammersmith Odeon to Last Ziggy Stardust ShowIn 1973?
There’s definitely something truth in it. It was outside the trucks even though – was on the stage! He played two nights and after the night, leaving all the gear, because they played there at night. I knew at the HammerSmith Odeon as the back of my hand, I’m going to bunk in there every time. I was like a phantom of Hammersmith Odeon.
It was about two mornings. Sepi a little minivan and I’ve got in. There was no one else than a guy sitting in the fourth or fifth row, asleep – storing. Died to be silent. I tiptoed by stage and nicked some cymbals, bass player [amplifier] CHAPTER – A Sunn amp – and some microphones. I got Bowie’s macro on lipstick on it!
You are always Up to Bowie’s for this?
I am the type of phone call. He knew I did; He thought he was funny. For I don’t think i’m nicked something off him because I don’t think microphones were. Just felt bad for woody [drummer, Mick Woodmansey] and [bass player] Trevor Bold.
I actually make an amendment with a wild wildest. He came into the radio show a few years back and I thought I would like to say to live when we were in the air, what have I done. I was like, “I got to amend you, Woody, I nicked some of the cymbals. What do I do to the right?” Follow “I don’t give us a hundred lions.” I think I gave up $ 300, so well happy.
What list you ever get to?
Oh, The rise and fall from the Stardust Always to-go.
What is the most dark thing that’s ever happened to you on the stage?
Was time in 1996 when Six Played in Milwaukee, a big club that had a ridiculous high stage – it was about 20 feet. Some guy walked on the stage, I don’t know how I got in. John [Johnny Rotten, nee John Lydon]’S security rambo saw him and comes running on the stage. He grabbed guy and a guy hit John and John fell off the stage, the head of the first. I thought that is the end of that. But got up and carried?
Punters are snappy Carpon to get a new singer of a gun. What do you feel playing these old songs with a new frontman?
It’s a great thing that’s refreshing. He’s younger – well, it is 40. Will be 70 this year? But it’s got a bundles of energy, and with a great audience. He’s not trying to make Johnny rotten. People love it. My philosophy is not playing more than an hour and 15, and an hour 30, max. When I’m going to a concert, I’m not interested in with a band in three hours. I guess some artists think about the company’s getting their money’s worth, but I am bored after an hour or more.
Often ask People who would like to play them in biopic. You’ve been together? Did you enjoy Toby Wallace’s Phinryal you Pistol?
I love toby that is great. I went out [to Los Angeles] I’d stand my long-trying to pick up to me. I had to help him with a prayer, obviously, because it’s got a Australian accent. Sometimes they slipped a little bit, but I thought you did pretty good.
One thing that bugged me was this scene where they go on my guitar – “Oh it’s like excalibur!” – But I couldn’t even find one close to my love. One used as a plate. We should have a cost of tenner. I would gladly lent them one of my own.
You know a lot of people. Who is the most famous person on your phone?
I know many famous people, but this is a great story. When I was doing Indie 103.1, ran in the Cliff Richard. I told you you want Come in the show, have a larf? I said ok. He came down and brought the sambuces, and I could not get him closed. I went through all the old classic songs. And such a place. I don’t make em just up again.
Otherwise, I left, I had its number, and funnily, he called me in the landline when you got married On a rock and we’d like a hall of the report. I left a message and just started singing “Congratulations! And jubilee!” This is the funniest thing ever.
Apart from the cliff, you are hosted by Judas Priest in Brian Wilson on your show. Who is your most dark guest?
I say Jerry Lee Lewis. He was really orriary and a park. I think I said: “What’s it just when he went in England?” I don’t think it’s actually got to tour in England – what got banned and Was married with a relatively under age. I just told me “I don’t want to talk about it!” And silence. I don’t know what to do, I started to panic.
In the late 80s and played in Bob Orlane Song: Sally Sue Brown. What is Bob in those days?
This is a bizarre. I met him a couple of weeks prior to asking me to put a band at the same time out of any part. And with the hair and in any helmet, and he was gravitating to me. Someone was told her i was on the sexy sex. We hang out a bit, and I’ve got a call for two weeks later, you can put a band together and we will do the session to the sunset [studios].
So I’m done. Paul Simonen [ex-the Clash] made in the town at the moment. I’ve got a drummer from Pat Benatar’s band, the keyboard player was playing with a rod stewart. We ended in a poem that is covering. We are gelled in one class.
Which song would you play on fun?
That’s a funny one. I guess some people who narcissists already think of this stuff right? I’m not like narcissistic as a lot of people I know, but I’ve learned for many years of sober that isn’t about me. I don’t know what is the miserable question. It just tells you’re gonna die one day.
Do you have a part of theft?
I like the fart before people. You can say if someone’s cold or not from the reaction. I farted in front of Lisa Marie Presley once. I was sitting outside the starbucks and I’m going to be in and I just got one rip. She looked at the face of my face. I just carried in walking in Starbucks. It’s wrong?
