Snoop Dogg talks with TONY CLAYTON-LEA.Snoop Dogg plays Cork on Monday and Dublin on Tuesday.
What's on your rider?Food, drink and all the special things that keeps us happy and in good shape out on the road.
What would be on your fantasy rider?It's all on my real rider. I'm living the dream.
What's your pre-gig ritual/ routine?Soundcheck, rehearsal, and we pray to the Lord to help us deliver a really good show.
What's the best gig you've been to?Snoop, Diddy and the House of Pain in Dublin. I wished I had been there as a punter, we were so good!
And the worst?Some awards ceremony. John Denver started singing.
Ecologically speaking, are you closer to Radiohead or Motörhead?I've always preferred greenery to chemicals.
What's your crowd-pleasing number?What's My Name.
Chatting between songs – good or bad?It's always good to say hello and pass on some of my wisdom to the people.
How many roadies does it take to change your lightbulbs (ie, how big is your entourage)?We cut back our entourage. It was getting too big and the parties were getting too wild. I only have 70 people coming with me to Dublin.
Have you a special stage wardrobe?The Dogg's wardrobe is full of great clothes for the street and for the stage.
Do you like to meet and greet fans after the gig?Only the ladies.
Any useful stage tips?Always give it your best shot.
Who's invited to your aftershow party?All the ladies at the gig.
