“I am going to let you know proper now. We did a tour with Mötley Crüe. They usually had these wings. It was ‘Crüe Fest’. It was sick, dude. And I had befriended the blokes within the band. And I did not know Vince very nicely. And there have been these wings out on the aspect, and so they have been, like… The stage supervisor comes over and he goes, ‘You may’t use the wings.’ I am, like, ‘Do not inform me [not] to do it, ‘trigger I’ll.’

“So I am on the market on the wing doing my factor. And it is, like, midway via the tour, and I proceed to not hear. And I am getting calls from administration and this and that. And we get off and we’re in — it was in Ohio someplace. And I keep in mind getting off stage I am all sweaty. I am strolling again to the bus. And also you by no means see Vince and Nikki collectively on tour. And these two dudes are strolling aspect by aspect, and so they cease and so they’re, like, ‘Hey, how’d the present go?’ And I used to be, like, ‘Oh, it was banging, dude. What’s up?’

“Vince appears to be like at me, and he goes, ‘, subsequent time you stroll out on that wing over there, you possibly can simply stroll proper off this tour.’ And I did not skip a beat, and I simply checked out him. I mentioned, ‘So there’s a fucking method off this tour.’ I simply walked away. And I am, like, ‘Man…’ I really like the dudes in Mötley Crüe, but it surely was, like, ‘How are you gonna attempt to inform someone to stay by guidelines? You are fucking Mötley Crüe. Give me a break.’ Like, nah, dude. You may’t. Nah, it is, like, it simply do not work.”
