Greg: "They pop out at anytime, I was in the van waiting for a snare to arrive in a cab, and wrote a song yesterday."

Bazz: "All good songs just pop out at an unexpected moment. The problem with most songwriters in this country is that they try to schedule it, write to a formula, and get worried. That's why there is so much commercial crap."

As Haskett said, if he's aware whilst onstage that he's playing, he's faking it.

Bazz: "Onstage you may feel schizophrenic, self-aware. Instant fuck-up - you just freeze. You start thinking about everything that you're doing. Then there are nights when you can cut loose, you mightn't play perfectly, but you really feel it, and often the crowd doesn't notice."

You mentioned working with Nirvana. What reflections do you have on Kurt Cobain's death and its potential effects on the industry?

Bazz: "I have a policy - look, I had a good time, but it's the code of the road - nothing comes off it. That's why most interviews you read are total crap because the road stories barely scratch the surface. His death has left a large hole in the music world. Ah . . . [stumbles] . . . it's difficult . . . his mum said he'd joined the stupid club . . ."

Greg: "He'd had enough. Too many people were giving him shit."

Bazz: "A lot of people have enough every year. Suicide happens to a lot of people, it's just that he was super-famous. The sad part it that . . . well, there's this story about the US Rolling Stone magazine. It's Thursday, on the front-page is the headline 'Kurt Well After Coma.' Then Friday - the day it goes to press. The editor is on the phone: 'He's dead. Quick, we need to rewrite the whole issue and put a photo on the front cover.' Juice [a competing Australian music magazine] - same thing. And a month after that every magazine has Kurt's face on the cover, cashing in."

Greg: "That kind of attitude just shows exactly why those magazines are there."
