KERRANG! 12.13.97

KERRANG: Last time you had a fight?

TWIGGY: Probably with Liam Gallagher from Oasis, this year in New York City. Someone went to introduce us. I went to shake his hand, and he put his nose up in the air. So I put my middle finger in his face. We started yealling at each other, but wound up doing cocaine until ten o'clock in the morning. Blame it on the drugs - I think it was the only reason we were talking to each other. Apart from that, I really don't fight.

KERRANG: Last time you threw up?

TWIGGY: During one show at the Ozzfest tour this year. (Pantera guitarist)Dimebag Darrell poured a bottle of Crown Royal Whiskey down my throat, and I ended up puking all over my bass. It looked like Gene Simmons, but for real! The guitar techs weren't too happy - they had to clean the puke off...

KERRANG: Last time you saw a ghost?

TWIGGY: Patrick Swayze? Er, whether I believe in ghosts depends on what day of the week it is. I change my mind...

KERRANG: Last time you had a serious argument with Marilyn?

TWIGGY: We argue with each other onstage and fight a lot, but after we walk off stage it's like it never really happened. It's always onstage, but it stays onstage.

KERRANG: Last time you viewed a hardcore porn?

TWIGGY: Last night on Spectravision. The first few minutes of Spectravision are free, so it's a contest to see if you can masturbate quickly enough before it ends. I usually end up having to pay, because they don't really turn me on that much. Sometimes you can put 'em on, if you have a girl in the room and the girl's not that exciting...

KERRANG: Last time you had groupie sex?

TWIGGY: What, like I did it with somebody in a band? Probably quite recently. Sometimes I think bands are just as much groupies as the groupies that come to our shows. But I like groupies!

KERRANG: Last time you felt ashamed of yourself?

TWIGGY: Shame is a useless emotion. But probably when you wake up with someone you thought was a lot better looking!

KERRANG: Last time you were afraid?

TWIGGY: When I heard Tony Wiggins speak. I don't know what he means in Europe, but he is definitely stranger than the Antichrist. They even have the same mustache and beard! He's just an American redneck. In Madrid, they have the only statue of Lucifer in the world and we went to see it. And when we found it, Tony Wiggins was there.

KERRANG: Last time you were caught masturbating?

TWIGGY: When you called!

KERRANG: Last time you broke the law?

TWIGGY: No comment. In one way or another, we break the law every day.

KERRANG: Last time you put a road cone on your head and pretended to be a witch?

TWIGGY: A witch? I had to put a grammophone on my head for a photo for the "Antichrist Superstar" album - that looked kinda like a witch. A road cone might be good, though, like a dunce hat.

KERRANG: Last time you cried?

TWIGGY: Probably during the recording of "Antichrist Superstar", for one reason or another. Personal stuff. It might have been happy or sad stuff. There's nothing wrong with crying, but I don't cry often.

KERRANG: Last time you faked an orgasm?

TWIGGY: Sometimes you fake an orgasm too early, and then you pretend you don't want to have sex with the person so they don't think you're a lousy lay!

KERRANG: Last great film you saw?

TWIGGY: The special edition of Star Wars. Star Wars is one of my favorite movies. It was sort of like my parent growing up.

KERRANG: How long can you last?

TWIGGY: As long as it takes!
