gets soon stick
Those were the days, you know. It's an English thing; as soon as it's gets to 6 pm, you have to go and have a drink. We used to stick to that religiously.
huge people selling sold
We had a huge audience, we sold truckloads of albums. If we do something that's cool, people will listen to it. If we don't, we would be selling people short.
bands home labels record records sign stay
This is a very screwed-up business. Record labels don't sign a lot of bands these days. We just want to find a home and stay there and make records and do our thing and not have to look over our shoulder.
bunch felt material revival
We felt if we didn't have new material in us and we didn't have a real reason to exist, then we probably wouldn't have done an 80's revival thing. We are very conscious about the fact that's what we are as a bunch of people.
band cherry coming definitive love people pick rock roll
If you were looking at where you would like your career to go, then you would have to cherry pick The Stones. People love coming to see them. They are it, they are the most definitive rock n roll band ever.
aside responsibility running sure
When you are younger, you are running on that pure naive adrenalin, you don't have any real responsibility aside from making sure you get there and play. And there's usually someone there to help you do that!
bringing goes passively songs
To passively get up and play a bunch of old songs wouldn't have really motivated us. So we are bringing the new material into the set and it goes down really well.
god help home sit suppose vicar
You can't do some of the things you used to do. I suppose you have to go at a gentler pace. I mean, God help us, you can't sit at home being a Vicar or anything.
beyond corners everybody four hurt table
Everybody around this table has been hurt (by canker). We need to look beyond the four corners of this table.
great people playing
It was mind-blowing. It was a small place with 2,000 standing-up tickets. It's great to have your band back and working and playing again, people have been so generous.
artists board determined extremely position profitable steer strong term track trading
The board is determined to steer the company, which has an extremely strong roster of artists and a strong 30-year track record, back to a profitable trading position and back to sustainable long term growth.
chairman expect forward fully hard hope insists late move
It's hard to know what they were thinking. It's never too late for the chairman to make the right decision. But if the chairman insists on it, we'll go forward with that hearing. We fully expect to win. My hope is they put down their objections and move one.
bad constant hear keeps name people speaker type
It's just one more thing that people get to hear about the speaker in a bad light. It just keeps a constant type of drumbeat alive, and keeps his name in the public's consciousness.
dispose evident fairly life nobody quickly
It was fairly evident that nobody wanted to do this as a one-off thing. It's too big a part of our life to do it quickly and dispose of it.
