The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could.

But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?

I didn't want to stay in the Stones, and be stuck in a position having to play a music I didn't like anymore and that restricted me from doing all the others things I'm interested in because of time.

When I record in a studio I don't use an amp. I go directly into the board, so I can get that very fat, full sound - which is my favorite sound.

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.

I'm not a musician, I just play bass.

You never know what your next dig is going to find.
