People often forget this - a vinyl album could only contain a maximum of 20 minutes per side!
From Ken Hensley
If you want to capitulate to what commercial needs are, you can always be commercially valuable, but I'm not interested in being that.
I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.
THE GODS was my first professional band and I learned a lot during that time. It was very cool playing with so many great musicians as it helped me to learn.
I actually never knew Peter Green but I do respect his early work very much.
It was both exciting and frustrating to work with an orchestral group.
When I left HEEP I didn't know what I wanted! It took me a long time to adjust to life away from the band and the only thing I knew was that I didn't want to repeat my mistakes!
The band projects just took natural priority. I didn't really have a solo career, just wanted to share the music in another way and to learn more about writing, recording, etcetera.
All of us would like for everybody to be the kind of person we want them to be.
