The Only Term I Won't Accept Is

When I Went Over To The States To Promote Outrider, Everyone Was Telling Me I Was A Blues Guitarist. I'm Not A Bloody Blues Guitarist. I'm A Guitarist.

I'm Not Interested In Turning Anybody On To Anybody That I'm Turned On To... If People Want To Find Things, They Find Them Themselves.

I Always Felt If We Were Going In To Do An Album, There Should Already Be A Lot Of Structure Already Made Up So We Could Get On With That And See What Else Happened.

We Went In And Recorded Exactly Where We Were At That Point In Time. I Think Because Of The Quality Of Musicianship Of The Band Has Given It The Longevity. I Thought The Music Would Endure, I Didn't Think I Would ... I Always Thought I'd Be Dead By 30, Then Dead By 40 And On And On. Now I'm 55 So I Didn't Even Die At 50.

We Were Never A Band That Did 96 Takes Of The Same Thing. I Had Heard Of Groups That Were Into That Kind Of Excess Around That Time. They'd Work On The Same Track For Three Or Four Days And Then Work On It Some More, But That's Clearly Not The Way To Record An Album. If The Track Isn't Happening And It Creates Some Sort Of Psychological Barrier, Even After An Hour Or Two, Then You Should Stop And Do Something Else. Go Out: Go To The Pub, Or A Restaurant Or Something. Or Play Another Song.
