Most of the time when we do a tune, Bad Blake, it's a tune no one's heard of to begin with.

I know I'm not going to sing like Aretha Franklin or Elvis Presley or any of those people.

I said if you want to be Keith Richards, you've got to listen to Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. Then I thought, "What did Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry listen to?" I said, "They listened to Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters." Well who'd they listen to? They listened to Robert Johnson. I said, "Ok, we'll start with that."

Led Zeppelin, they still rule the airwaves. I hear Zeppelin every day, and they've been around since '69. So the people who grew up with that still listen to that, and now their children listen to it.

There is no doubt in my mind who is number one - I have always been number one.
