“The grossest place I’ve ever played? I am sorry to say this but it was in Nashville. I took a shower in that venue and had some company from bugs which came crawling out of the drain. Didn’t feel much cleaner after the shower than I did before.”

“My grossest fan interaction was during a hot summer festival last year where there were only really sweaty fans who wanted to hug me. Their and my sweat was mixing like cocktails. I have also been licked in the face by a Turkish fan.”

“The grosses thing I’ve ever done? During an Epica show, I had to go backstage and pee in a trash can because there was no toilet in the backstage and not enough time for me to go through the crowd.”
