On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.
At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.
But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix.
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!
I wouldn't know how I would have coped with The Beatles' sort of fame.
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.
