real men thinking
That's something - you laugh about Eminem... It's funny, man, because I didn't like him when he first came out, ya know. It seemed like a big joke. But I think the guy's for real, and I like his lyrics!
nice believe men
Usually I'm the one who does the covers. And I just said, man, it would be nice to see what somebody else could do, outside of this thing. A fresher look. And I never, in a million years, would have come up with this. Believe me!
men thinking numbers
Every now and then you think about your life, what you would like to be, you start at Number 1 and you go down to 100. And down at the bottom, 100, was - Stage. Go figure. That would be the last thing. It terrified me, man. But I had to do it.
men experience doe
Experience really does make you better, man.
real men people
I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?
men laughing starting
You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.
men years get-better
We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.
dumped finally kinda though time turned
And when I finally got dumped from Elektra, which was pretty good, though at the time it was kinda painful, I just turned things around.
hell life thirty took wondering
Life is a gamble. And I took a chance, man. And here I am, talkin' to you today, thirty years later, wondering what the hell I did in the first place!
marty
Marty and I are playing with the same intensity. That's the beautiful thing, man, we're actually better now than ever, probably more intense now than ever, tighter now than ever.
showing
I'm showing some of my sculptures in Holland in the spring, so we'll see.
came everybody hated suicide
Everybody came in to see Suicide to be entertained, and all we did was give them back the street, in all its glory, and that's what they hated us for.
ad commercial company hot
No, it was a company called CRASH. They're a very hot ad company in England. A very commercial ad company, one of the biggest, does all these commercials.
nice today buttons
That's why so much of the music today sounds so much alike, because there's no in-between. So it's kind of nice to still turn some buttons every now and then.
