I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.

When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant

I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.

Lately, Ive been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.

What I used to play was rhythm guitar before I saw Jack Bruce. I said, That's what I want to do in life. He was definitely the main influence
