About a year ago I did an exhaustive search about Jimmy Nicol, and I came across most of what was posted here, but there was something else, an interview with Jimmy Nicol where he talked about being on the tour and John got drunk after a show. The next day they had to play again and John was hung over, Jimmy could smell the liquor coming off his body and he was sweating like crazy.
I wish I could find that interview again, since it was unique and not the same old bio that always seems to be re-hashed about him over the net..
