The crowds have changed, too, he's noticed. "It was a bit more wholesome back then. Back then, it was more about the music. Now, not so much. Now it's more about muscles and how little clothing you can wear. I guess it's the cool thing now to go to a festival. I've played festivals in Australia. If it's a dance music festival or mainstream festival, there's maybe like 10 percent who pay attention to the music. You just see guys with muscles – essentially Tarzan. A fucking hoard of Tarzans that are like, ‘I just want to scope out all the chicks!'"
