What would be on your fantasy rider?A fridge in a denim jacket.
What's your pre-gig ritual/routine?Deep breathing, flapping, ensuring that everyone walks onstage at the same time.
How do you get to the gig – limo, taxi, walking?In a lime tuxedo, walking.
What's the best gig you've been to?Madness '85, New Order '89, Primal Scream '92, U2 '92, Sonic Youth '96, ADF '98, Patti Smith '99, Kraftwerk '05. Why? They meant it, man.
Who is the most famous person to have shown up at one of your gigs?That Edge lad – top tips on tobacco and moustache strength.
Most embarrassing on-stage moment?Nobody saw it.
What's your crowd-pleasing number? Car on Fire; it veers off in all directions.

Chatting between songs – good or bad?Good; coherence not essential. Avoid food and answering questions.
Have you a special stage wardrobe?No, they all receive the same treatment.
Do you like to meet and greet fans after the gig?Of course. Conversation at first might be like juggling ping-pong balls underwater, but should improve.
Any useful stage tips?Stay one second behind, keep your eyes open.
If you could be in any other band, which one?Pink Floyd, 1966, or The Spice Girls, 1996. Not fussed.
