Patriotism is a joke in the UK.

When you grow up, you're told that rock 'n' roll is the only authentic way to express yourself. Live instrumentation, singer, live drums. You're told that's the best medium to communicate.

There's so much that you can do if you mimic your style to a drum machine. I think that's far more exciting.

I'm finding it hard to listen to other rock bands. It's been hard for me for a long time, but now I can't listen to any new bands at all.

Nobody starts a band to make friends; you do it because of the music.

I don't really believe in the use of drum machines live.
