"SONGS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE" KERRANG! JULY 2008.

SUCK MY LEFT ONE – BIKINI KILL "That song pretty much says everything that I have wanted to say, ever, and everything that I would want to say to anyone. I had a shaved head, so I listened to Bikini Kill" FIND IT: Bikini Kill, 1991

ME AND LITTLE ANDY – DOLLY PARTON "When Dolly first hit the scene she was writing songs about things no one had the nerve to. Pretty punk rock, if you ask me. This song is one of her most bizarre. It's terrifying - she sings half of it in a child's voice and in the end everyone dies... Gotta love Dolly for that! One moment it's sweet songs about love and Jesus and the next it's all whores, moonshine, death and destruction! I absolutely adore her. I heard a rumour that underneath all those sequins she's covered in tattoos. She just gets better and better." FIND IT: Here You Come Again, 1977

100% – SONIC YOUTH "I remember the first time I saw this video. MTV had a program called 120 Minutes that I was completely obsessed with. It was all the indie bands that never made it into heavy rotation. Sonic Youth came on my screen and I was totally blown away. They were the epitome of cool. So sexy, so raw and their sound was completely different. I loved [frontman] Thurston Moore's lazy delivery but more than anything I appreciated their confidence. I wanted to be Kim Gordon [bass]." FIND IT: Dirty, 1992

BOYS DON'T CRY – THE CURE "The Cure was the soundtrack to every heartbreak I had in high school. Robert Smith [frontman] is a god to me. There was a period of about five years where I dressed up like him for Hallowe'en. I had the privilege of meeting him once and I asked him if he had ever heard of my band. He said, 'Unfortunately, I have'. I laughed and later that night he bit my nose. True story! Boys Don't Cry is the first song I learned to play on bass." FIND IT: Boys Don't Cry, 1980

PIECE OF ME – BRITNEY SPEARS "I may be in love with her! Anything by her is great because she is fucking nuts. To me she is the ultimate entertainer. With no sense of irony, I think this record rules! It makes me dance and sing like crazy. In fact, I don't feel guilty at all." FIND IT: Blackout, 2007

DRESS – PJ HARVEY "You know that point in your life when you stop accepting the music on the radio and you go out and start searching for something more? PJ Harvey was one of the first things I found on my own. There is something so vulnerable and brave about her voice and her lyrics really speak to me. I saw her play and I was speechless. Such a tiny woman but her presence is huge and blinding." FIND IT: Dry, 1992

NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN – BEASTIE BOYS "The Beastie Boys were my favourite band in high school. I loved their bratty-ness. They were ridiculous and over the top and completely unafraid to look silly. I still look up to them for that. When I was 17 I left home and moved to Brooklyn. I sang this to myself the entire way there." FIND IT: Licensed To Ill, 1986

SUPERSTAR – THE CARPENTERS "My mother played The Carpenters a lot when I was growing up. Karen Carpenter's voice is so haunting and beautiful. I still listen to them from time to time because it reminds me of my mum and when I'm sad I make my husband [Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance] sing this song to me. It works every time." FIND IT: Carpenters, 1971

[LINDSEY] ALSO LOVES... • NOTORIOUS B.I.G – GIMME THE LOOT • NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS – THE SHIP SONG • JIMMY EAT WORLD – PAIN • MÖTLEY CRÜE – SHOUT AT THE DEVIL • ADAM ANT – BEAT MY GUEST • FUGAZI – WAITING ROOM • ARETHA FRANKLIN – THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT

Eddie's evil brew..

"duff 'skarlet skarred across my heart forever' Mckagan" (what does that mean 😭)

"plus a nasty and potentially life treatening liquid concoction specially brewed for the occasion, and thinly disguised as a weed-killing wine, called Eddie's Evil Brew!"
