It's probably listening to country music that got me to start playing a lot cleaner, not as distorted.

If you take your last album & try to copy it, then thats sure to hell the way to stagnation. And that makes me bored...and if I'm bored then the music is boring and so are the band!

You don't throw clothes away, because you know it's going to come back in fashion!

The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.

Berry's On Top is probably my favorite record of all time; it defines rock and roll. A lot of people have done Chuck Berry songs, but to get that feel is really hard. It's the rock and roll thing-the push-pull and the rhythm of it.

Aerosmith is such a powerful band; I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
