I’d like to have dancers, like a Michael Jackson video. A lot of bands get to do that these days if they’ve got the money.
Also, a massive cinema screen playing videos we’d made for every song in the set, so the whole thing would be audiovisual. If we’re going there, I’d have some gruyere, so I could have an actual fondue. I’d have a chocolate fountain on the side of the stage, so between songs I could eat some chocolate. Everything would be on fire – amps, drum kit, everything. If I had Donald Trump’s billions, I’d pay for the SAS to pick him up and drop him in the ocean somewhere!Īs part of your show? You could be playing on a boat and have that happen in the background…Īs part of the show, I’d have the Liverpool football team, everyone dressed in Liverpool kits to start with.

It’s exactly the same feeling, like you can’t relax because something’s about to happen. It’s like going to school when you’re a kid, and you get a bit pent up before you go back on Monday morning. You know something’s happening, and you can’t do it right now. Not so much stage fright, but more pent-up apprehension. Have you ever had nerves or stage fright? It soaked our guitars, but our tour manager was a massive guy and he basically roughed them out of the building.

We’ve did a show in Newport where a lot of guys who’d just been released from prison came to our gig to celebrate their release. What’s the most random thing you’ve had happen at one of your shows? We could’ve played more from the new album, and thought about it, but instead we decided to play more from Death Of A Dead Day.
