I can find my way from 500 A.D. through to 1066 pretty well as an amateur historian.
[Elvis] Presley was definitely a great inspiration to every guy who ever had a hard-on in the whole of the Western world, I should think. He shook everybody well and true, and we just kept on shakin'. But he started it.
I'd like to write a big rock anthem again. I just need to listen to Korn, and then I might get the idea of how to do it.
I really had to think and learn about musical intervals.
Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.

I kind of disguise my limitations by hanging out with very talented people. The excitement of the collision between the microphone-twirling guy from 1966 to now is just a fantastic adventure. There aren't many of us left and I've managed to kind of cover my tracks pretty good.

I think The Song Remains The Same is such a load of old bollocks.
