I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal

I'm the nice guy who sits there signing everything that's put in front of me.

Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He's way, way out, doing things you never expect.

I had this big thing about guitar harmonies. I wanted to be the first to put proper three-part harmonies onto a record. That was an achievement.

I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.

The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums.

To my mind Keep Yourself Alive was never really satisfactory. Never had that magic that it should have had.
