You never knew what was going to happen in concert. It was a really exciting prospect to go onstage, and you can hear that in the live recordings ... wherever we were and whatever year it was, we always went onstage determined to do our best.

Just because you play bass, doesn't mean you have no presence.

I really wasn't needed... Just straightening up riffs, that's all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, "I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world." I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.

The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

Music can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.
