"I was in a brothel in Hamburg when I first heard Tomorrow Never Knows. The place was called the Top Ten Club: seven storeys of mayhem, where I was playing and staying with my first band, The Warriors. It was when I put Revolver on in that brothel, and got to the end of side two and heard Tomorrow Never Knows, that I realised that The Beatles weren’t just a rock’n’roll band. That song stands out as their most sonically and lyrically adventurous departure from everything I’d ever heard. It was like listening to music for the first time.
"Listening to it then in 1966, you don’t know how they did it. You’ve got no concept of how they put it together, and how they came up with the lyrics, or any of it. Tomorrow Never Knows had an effect on me, and on everybody, because it was so revolutionary.
