And the worst?All gigs are amazing and all the music that artists make is majestic. I love all gigs equally and life is beautiful.

Groupies. Would you?What kind of groupies are we talking here? Irish groupies?

Have you a special stage wardrobe?Yes.

Do you like to meet and greet fans after the gig?No. I have nothing in common with those weirdos.

What's the worst thing ever thrown at you?A positive pregnancy test with a note attached.

If you could be in any other band, which one?Pixies, Pixies, Pixies. Or, if that can't work, One Direction. I can be like the "dad" guy on the end. Something for the older ladies.

Who's invited to your aftershow party?Snoop, Jay Z, P Diddy, Fiddy Cent. African-American dudes know how to get down.
