Vince has said over and over, you know, rock 'n' roll never really goes away,
You have to age gracefully. And that's what I love about Keith Richards. That's what I love about the Rolling Stones. They are aging gracefully. They are falling apart at the seams right before our eyes, and they are doing it gracefully. And that's the most beautiful thing that we can do.
Rock n' roll is dirty, and it's bad, and it's either clever or it's not clever.
I love those Keith Richards solo records, but it's not the Rolling Stones.
If your album sells, that's cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we're really about-which is a live rock and roll band.
We get paid in flesh. Our audiences are sluts and whores, each and every one.
Some girl asked me for an autograph and I asked her why, she said because she admires me. I said she should see a shrink. Then she started crying and I started laughing.
Rock and Roll's got to be like Jack Daniels. You've got to feel it burn.
Everyone felt as if they were doing something really important. This song, both musically and lyrically, relates to many of the things that are happening now, as the hardest hit areas set out to rebuild.
Everybody was paranoid that it was going to be the same as it used to be. People had cold feet. They weren't sure. It's like getting back into a relationship that didn't work out real well. Once we got back in, we realized why it was so magical, but it took some prodding and some time, and everything just sort of worked itself out organically.
I mean, you can hate us. I don't care if you hate us, but no one will ever sound like us.
SIXX: A.M. is a passion project. I think when you do things like that and put your heart into them and do your best and don't necessarily put them on a marketing grid, that's when things turn out the best.
We go to do the Billboard Music Awards to be a presenter, and we walk on stage, and we get a standing ovation from the industry.
We fit in there with all the dead movie stars.
