The rocker insists that he has stopped using rude words nowadays, preferring to express himself in other ways. He got used to cussing a lot in his younger years but a conversation with his parents made him reconsider his language.
“I accidentally swore one time when I was talking to my parents on the phone and really felt bad about it. I was out in LA, fucking this and fucking that. I was living in the rock world where that word became normal. Now I never use it. Ever,’ he told British magazine Q.
The 64-year-old rocker recalled the incident that changed his naughty habit.
Despite his scary on-stage persona, the musician admitted a telling-off from his father put him off using profanities.
‘I think it was because I said it to my mom. It was just a remark about spaghetti or something – fucking spaghetti – and my dad said, ‘Hey!’ That cured me of swearing right there,” he laughed.
