J: (Rambles on for ages about his old band... drink and drugs problems, piss drinking coke heads etc. etc.)

Wayne: Are we interviewing you?

J: Sorry. Right - Who are your heroes and why?

John: We don't really have any heroes, that's a kind of childish notion.
Jay: Rob's my hero.
Rob: I am a hero to some. (Everyone cracks up)
Jay: You are the wind beneath my wings.
Wayne: You wanna see him in his costume.
John: It's mad these bands give you a list of all the people they're really into and they're trying to be them as well aren't they?

J: Not so much people you're trying to be, but like...

Jay: Inspirations.

J:Yeah

Jay: None of them either.
Rob: Caligula!
John: Now he was some cat!

J: Which leads to my next question - if you had a time machine and you could go back anywhere in time, when and where would you play a gig at?

Wayne: Right here, right tonight, right now.
John: On the walls of Constntinople 1453 when the Turks came pouring through! I think there'd be an excellent atmosphere with that one.

J: There'd be nobody sat down.

John: It'd be a rush!
Rob: Zero BC. Wnen Jesus was speakin', so you could alter the course of world history and set up a new religion.
John: In fact, to actually be the band that played the crucifixion!

J: Like 1,2,3.. now everybody join in, including you up there....

John: "Sorry Ladies and Gentlemen, we'll have to stop the performance for 5minutes, we're just gonna nail Jesus up to the cross!"
Jay: "This one's for the hippy on the stick!"
John: "This one's for Barrabus!"
Rob: And what'd we play at that one d'you think?...
"Not even Jesus".

J: I've got that one, it's great.

Jay: "Oh hang on, we have to re-write this one! The authorities say there's certain words you can't put into this song..."

J: What's the furthest you've taken the Goldblade mission? and have you taken it to Japan yet? 'Cos I reckon they'd go mad for it out there...

John: We haven't got into Japan yet. There's people interested who are in Japan. Japan and America are the two places we'd do really well in, we just haven't got out to them yet. We're having to play the country which is the worst country in the world to play this sort of music -  this one! (Laughs)
