The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

There are very few people I can call real, close friends. They're very, very precious to me.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

When I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I'm not a bloody blues guitarist. I'm a guitarist.
