I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.

When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.

Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.

I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.

There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.

I just go where the guitar takes me.

We're a rock group. we're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.

I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'

I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, 'Geez, this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.

Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.

A lot of times you'll hear bands and it's a different sound coming out than what's on stage. Because you can clean it up through a PA and make it sound completely different than what they really sound like.
