“Touring with Iggy’s band…That was very enjoyable for the most part. It was the first time I’d ever really put myself into a band since the Spiders. But with this I was an integral part of the band where I didn’t really do anything other than be a band member. It was great not having the pressure of being the singer up front. But there were too many drugs around at the time. I was trying to get away from those drugs and I was going through these really ambivalent things because I kept wanting to leave the tour to get off drugs. The drug use was unbelievable and I knew it was killing me, so that was a difficult side of it. But the playing was fun. Iggy would be preening himself before he went on and I’d be there reading a book.”
