"So, one afternoon, during my tenure at XFM, I sat down to interview Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan from QOTSA...
Interview went well after which they recorded two note perfect acoustic versions of No One Knows and Hanging Tree. It was a good day...
Now, bearing in mind this was pre smoking ban, a small concession was made and the boys immediately lit up a couple of death sticks in doors
Josh was standing just outside the sound proof vocal booth while Lanegan remained seated inside where he had been pretty much the whole time
During the course of this cigarette break, predictably, a fire alarm was activated...
After some initial laughter, we were told this would have to be resolved immediately or XFM and, in fact, the Capital group would go off air
Cigarettes would have to be extinguished and partial evacuation would be required. At the very least from the impromptu smoking area...
Comprehending the potential seriousness of this situation, we all turned towards the exit. All except one man...
Sat stock still, in the same place he had been the whole time, was Death Rattle aka The Lanegrain aka Mark Lanegan...
Even Josh had, at this point conformed to Capital Radio fire alarm policy, "Hey Mark, we have to split so they can sort out this fire alarm"
Death Rattle, still smoking, sat stock still, looked up at us like we didn't have a set of nuts between us, and said, "I choose to die"."
