The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, "Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!"

I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.

To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.

Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.

Rock n Roll is music from the neck down.

I achieved everything I wanted to achieve by being in the Rolling Stones and making records.

Poison's not bad. It's a matter of how much.
