I'm Not Afraid Of Death. That Is

Every Musician Wants To Do Something Which Will Hold Up For A Long Time, And I Guess We Did It With 'stairway To Heaven.'

The Blues Appealed To Me, But So Did Rock. The Early Rockabilly Guitarists Like Cliff Gallup And Scotty Moore Were Just As Important To Me As The Blues Guitarists.

You Can't Just Find Yourself Doing Something And Not Happy Doing It.

There Was No Working Title For The Album. The Record-jacket Designer Said `when I Think Of The Group, I Always Think Of Power And Force. There's A Definite Presence There.' That Was It. He Wanted To Call It `obelisk'. To Me, It Was More Important What Was Behind The Obelisk. The Cover Is Very Tongue-in-cheek, To Be Quite Honest. Sort Of A Joke On 2001. I Think It's Quite Amusing.

My Favorite Guitar Solo Of All Time Was Elliot Randall's On `reelin' In The Years'.
