@HollyMcTucker

he'd probably be doing car insurance adverts with iggy pop......don't be fooled....dying young is the best thing you can do in rock music.

@RENN357 Get the fuck out of here you prick, the best thing you can do in rock music is to stay alive and well, not hang yourself and leave a baby and wife behind.

Couldn't they have picked a less noisy place to do the interview? Seriously, it's not that hard to find a place where people aren't drinking, playing pool, and watching television.
