TimSAFC asks:
Did you deliberately try and sabotage Metallica’s Monsters of Rock set at Donington Park in 1987 by flying over their performance in a helicopter before you headlined?

Let me clear up a 30 year old story... I certainly did not ever intend to disrupt Metallica or their performance. We were flying in and we're so excited to be playing that we asked the helicopter to fly over the crowd twice so we could take pictures - in fact we didn't know if anyone was on stage. I respect Metallica's career longevity and want to clarify any misunderstanding!


Nice of him! He was still a dick for doing that, but at least he was an unintentional dick....

I like that he was told of the popularity of These Days.

Some absolutely pointless questions asked

But seemed to sort of dismiss it. I got the feeling he was saying its didn't cross over too well in the US so it was a kind of failed album. Reading way too much into it probably, but I don't think he seemed overly enthused by These Days.

And whoever asked 11 questions, for shame. Just because he was never going to answer them all and ended up (obviously) picking the easiest one.
