When You're Around Someone Good, Your Own

I Found The Blues Too Limiting, And Classical Was Too Disciplined.

I've Always Played Every Amp I've Ever Had Full Up, Because Rock And Roll Is Supposed To Be Played Loud. Also, That's How You Get Your Sustain.

I Was Impressed By Hendrix. Not So Much By His Playing, As His Attitude - He Wasn't A Great Player, But Everything Else About Him Was Brilliant.

Everything I Do Is Usually Totally Spontaneous.

Ian Gillan, Roger Glover And I Wanted To Be A Hard Rock Band - We Wanted To Play Rock And Roll Only.
