I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

If everyone would look for that uniqueness then we would have a very colorful world.

Phil has always been a fighter. He was getting in fights all the time. I told him that if he ever hit me then I would leave the band. He wanted to find out if I was telling him the truth. He hit me so I left and that is how UFO split up.

The other thing that has made playing live for me more enjoyable is the audience. I never knew I had such heartfelt, loving fans.

If you are in a band like my brother, Rudolf, who is in the Scorpions, then you have a kind of umbrella and you cover each other. You have five people to discuss things with and you are all in the same boat, and therefore make much wiser choices.

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

If you don't get on the field and play then you will be missing out.
