The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

I don't want fans to think we're clean, upstanding American boys, but we are Americans, and we do stand up.

You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

Over the years, when you're in a band with a catalog like Aerosmith's, you accumulate a lot of instruments to duplicate those songs.
