If you repeat what you did in the last tour, the likelihood is it's not gonna be successful twice. People are nostalgic about a particular record, because it's about the time when they were listening to that record. But if you do it again, they're like, I'm not that guy anymore.

To remain relevant though, I think making great records is the key.

Avril Lavigne sold a massive amount of albums and she has to top that with her next release. We have four great albums behind us, and it's not going to be as hard to live up to that.

I heard the Bloc Party record Japan before it came out in the UK as they are on the V2 record label. I think it has a great vibe and has great songs. I also think the Kings of Leon are right up my street.

Like all bands, the first two albums are always the ones most written about, and the most covered. When a band gets to their third of fourth album, the story of the band has already been told.

We've got a great bench of songs, and the people have a really good time at our Stereophonics's shows. People are the same all over the world. If we can play football stadiums and arenas in one country, there's no reason we can't play them in another country. People are people.

It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music.
