“I had guys like System of A Down checking me out, Slipknot, the Donnas. Going to see them as well was brilliant. By the end of the Big Day Out, you see them all as friends. It’s nice to work with such a bunch of people, the Hives as well, Grinspoon, the lot.”

You see them and you’re like ‘Oh my god, they’re gonna kill me!’.
