"Two years ago, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was playing in this little theatre in New York. My drummer and bass player took me to see it. They also got this weed that was - unbeknownst to them - laced with something really awful. The idea was to smoke a little and go see this movie. I had a panic attack, while watching the most incredible thing I had seen in my entire life. That whole concert is unbelievable from start to finish. Everything about it is so heavy-duty - it's almost too much. I had always been a Bowie fan, but that actually kind of f**ked me up. Later, I would be on stage and think I was Bowie, but I wasn't!"
