It's better to not set your expectations high. And that's what happens when you have a long career - not every album is going to be record setting.

It doesn't matter what kind of problems a family is having; it should always stay in the family.

To be a great band it's like you have that telepathy. You know when the bass player's in back of you without even looking. You know when your guitar player's coming up to you to lean up to you and sing into your microphone. You just know these things. You feel it. You feel the energy of it.
