As much as we all love playing live, it's not normal to be on the road all the time, to have no home.
Dub and reggae... I play that a lot around the house.
I love seeing the fans of the music that I make.
When I first began to write, I was writing on bass, because I was thinking more Public Image, more dub.
The more I talk about things, the more I understand myself.
I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.
We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic.
The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s.
Only the guys who never made it and will never make it in the U.S. need to put up the front that they don't care about America.
I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.
Lyrics are really important for me.
Bob Dylan has a way with words that simply blows me away. When he forgets his lyrics he just makes up new ones on the spot, that is what I called talented!
I am really addicted to music.
I have always been fascinated by dark and mysterious stuff. I guess I have a pretty dark and gloomy side. Writing songs saves me from going completely gonzo.
I don't see myself as the boss. I sing and write the songs, and it would feel strange if somebody else wrote the lyrics I sang.
