We had a missionary zeal about blues music, and I felt, particularly, that Mickie Most was attempting to homogenize, sweeten, and make it accessible for the mass market. Which is understandable if you're the producer, but aggravating if you're the artist.

The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric's vocals. There's never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together.

I think it's like everything else; one shouldn't dig too deeply. It's silly to say that with a journalist, but sometimes there is not a truth to be found.

Everybody's going through changes. No one knows what's going on. Everybody changes places, but the world still carries on.

I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.

I use a lot more chords than most organists and I'm careful to phrase them with the guitar.
