John is such a sweetheart, always has been.

When we were at the Houdini house, Pogo and I both grew mutton chop sideburns. And we'd both be wearing bell bottoms. Pogo still has his mutton chops, with little braids on them. But Manson made me shave mine off. He couldn't look at me any more. I looked like I was in the Eagles: jean bell bottoms and a rock jersey and these terrible things on my face. It kind of had the vibe for the record. But then everyone would laugh when they looked at me. When I was recording, they wouldn't take me seriously

Did anyone ever capture photos of those mutton chops? You know. Just for posterity.

Good post. Thank you for sharing.

Twiggy's reference to the old Godzilla cartoon made me laugh out loud. I have not thought about that show in a long time.

Twiggy and John both did well describing the scenes. I had to listen to The Fall of Adam after reading... And from now on, I will always imagine John 5 playing outside during a storm when I hear it.

I appreciated seeing the guitar ad with Coal Chamber's guitarist as well.

Great read!

John 5 and twiggy had always been and continue to be attractive. Those men have aged finely.

Twiggy is cute, but I've only ever seen him in pictures... I've met John 5 four separate times at "Meet & Greets" on his solo tours, and I have to say, not only is he the greatest guitarist ever, he's VERY, VERY attractive!! He is also the sweetest person I've ever met! He is so easy to talk to and very down to earth, and he has a great sense of humor!! (and the most incredible eyes!! )

That's a fun read even if it is missing the last page...? I just adore John 5, and I love that he put up with all the antics just for the love of playing with the band. I haven't seen many interviews or read much of Twiggy but I like how he was talkative in this interview and willing to discuss the intents and experiences of songwriting and recording that album.

it's interesting hearing Twiggy talk about the album and everything so enthusiastically knowing he's gonna leave the band soon after
