' " In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone , Head described his final moments in the band as very tense ; " the last year I was in the band , we were gonna kick out the bass player , Fieldy , and this guy 's girlfriend couldn 't be on this side of the stage because there were fights with another wife in the band .
