The following is an excerpt:
Q: I've seen video clips from Vienna when you bring a fan onstage and let him play with you, on your guitar during 'Aesthetics Of Hate' (see clip below). Can you tell us the story behind that?
A: "About one song before 'Aesthetics' I noticed a kid upfront with a banner which said, "Let me play 'Aesthetics Of Hate' on guitar Robb. I'm Fucking Serious!!" We both made eye contact, and both laughed it off. So when 'Aesthetics' came up in the set him and a bunch of his friends start screaming "Please". I'm like "dude, you better not be fucking around", he's like "I can do it". So I told security to bring him up. His name was Peter. He did fucking killer!! Knew all my parts, I had to slow him down in the beginning a little, he was playing it a hundred miles an hour. But once the band kicked in, he got it. It was really, really cool. Super fun. It was an incredible moment in an even more incredible show. We brought him and his buddies back after the show to say "hey" and I asked how far the crowd surfed him after he stage-dived back into the audience? He said "All the way to the bar, where 3 people bought him beers, and he proceeded to cry". Amazing stuff!"
