Those guys don’t just have a few beers, they wake up and start drinking vodka. If they’re trying to be good they drink wine. Westerberg wouldn’t know how to be sober. I recorded him in the Dungeon, which is not actually a studio but it’s got four concrete walls which gives it a nice natural echo, and he got so drunk that we had to duct tape mattresses to the walls to keep him from hurting himself. Westerberg is a real good guitar player, though, if you catch him just drunk enough. He can’t play sober and he can’t play completely shitfaced, but if you catch him in between he’s real good. I told the owner, ‘John, they puked in their hands and threw it up there.’ Even Johnny Thunders would have to say, ‘Shit, that guy’s wasted.’
