Tori says: "I was playing a festival in Germany a few years ago right after i had done the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" cover. This is one of those festivals where the people drink gallons of German beer three days straight. I played on the second day and they were already _gone_. Many boys proceeded to yell 'Schnell, you fucking slut' as I was playing my piano. I turned to them and said, 'Look, you motherfuckers, synchronize your watches because I'm here until the big hand gets on the 12. So unless you blow me off the stage with a rifle, _suffer_.' And I did the longest version of 'Teen Spirit' anyone's ever done, like 22 minutes, and walked off the stage, pride intact, graciously ass-saved."
