Absolutely. Slade! A band that would never bend over.

I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.

I get a thrill meeting kids who are into alternative music.

I've had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.

To be positive at all times is to ignore all that is important, sacred or valuable. To be negative at all times is to be threatened by ridiculousness and instant discredibility.

I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.
