Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free? If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making his way down the street? If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me.
When you`re onstage you have a certain faith that somebody's gonna yell somethin' back. Some nights it's louder than other nights and some nights they do, and on some songs they don't. But that's the idea. I think when you begin to expect a reaction from an audience, it's a mistake.
Some guys they just give up living, and start dying little by little, piece by piece.
The moment you begin to depend on audience reaction, you're doing the wrong thing. You're doin' it wrong, it's a mistake, it's not right. You can't allow yourself, no matter what, to depend on them.
It was like Elvis came along and whispered some dream in everybody's ear
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have.
The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul.
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.
Born down in a dead man's town; The first kick I took was when I hit the ground. You end up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just covering up.
A great rock band searches for the same kind of combustible force that fueled the expansion of the universe after the big bang. You want the earth to shake and spit fire. You want the sky to split apart and for God to pour out.
I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.
They say "ya gotta stay hungry"... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!
Don't take yourself too seriously. And take yourself as seriously as death itself.
