When you are famous, you never can be sure why somebody's being nice. You just have to develop a very good sixth sense. I call it my bullshit detector.

The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

I've always done a bass and drum solo that lasts about 10 minutes. The main thing is to use it only when you need to.
