Andyllä mennyt joskus Mötikkä-laulajat sekaisin. John Corabi meinannut saada Andyn kävelykepistä päähän.
"I met Andy the first time while I was with RATT. We played — it was a huge club in Helsinki. And afterwards, Andy took me and Bobby Blotzer out to a nightclub, and it was, like… I love Andy, but holy shit — he's a whole other out there. So, we hung out and everything was great.
And then a couple of years later, I went back to a Swedish rock festival, and I didn't realize it but a very good friend of mine, Conny Bloom, who plays guitar with the ELECTRIC BOYS, he was playing with HANOI ROCKS. So I was kind of walking by, and Conny called me over, so I went over and I sat at the table that they were sitting at. And Andy was just kind of staring at me. I had a red scarf — I just kind of had it tied around the top of my head — and he took offense to me wearing the scarf, 'cause it was, like, 'That's my thing.'
So somebody said, 'Oh, Andy, this is John. He sang with MÖTLEY CRÜE.' And I thought Andy was seriously gonna pummel me to death. He had his cane and he came at me with his fucking cane and he was, like, literally wanting to hit me with the cane. So I grabbed the cane, and then his wife Angela and Conny came over… He had this cane with a skull on top of it. It was a black cane. Honestly, I was kind of pissed. I'm, like, 'What the fuck is your problem, dude? I've already met you before.' And I'm holding on to the cane and I'm going, 'he doesn't have a fucking clue. He's out to lunch.' And I'm sitting there, like, 'Okay.' So I kind of let go of the cane. Conny came over, Angela came over, and they were, like, 'Dude, that's not Vince. That's John. Different singer.' And he kind of settled down. But I was, like, 'Dude, seriously, I'll fucking beat you to death with your own cane. Stop with this shit.'"
"His fucking beef, and I can't say that I blame him, was the fact that MÖTLEY had just released 'Music To Crash Your Car To', and he was not having it"
"And he sat there in his very difficult-to-understand English, he sat there and he was, like, 'I think that's fucking bullshit. Nikki Sixx and those guys are nothing but a bunch of scumbags.'
And they weren't happy about it, and I can't say that I blame 'em. I was, like, 'Okay, dude. I had nothing to do with that. Here's when I was in the band. I'm out. You've got a whole other issue with those guys.' … When he explained himself, I was, like, 'Hey, dude.' I gave him a hug and I'm, like, 'I totally understand your displeasure right now with MÖTLEY CRÜE. I get it.' I didn't have an argument. I can't argue. His rationale made sense to me. It made sense. So I didn't make a stink about it."
