Everybody was starting to grow long hair and wear pink suits and purple glasses and stuff and then, I suppose, some people thought we were crazy, but we weren't really crazy because we're all still here!

The first band I was in, I think was called The Strangers. I got the sack because I was too small!

But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix.

On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.

I came to join the Experience by going for an audition for Eric Burdon who was just forming the New Animals at that point, after the original Animals had broken up.

Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.

Well, I'd had the Fat Mattress earlier as a writing outlet for songs and that.
