Being in a rock band is about touring. It's about writing songs and it's about making records but it's also about taking a wonderful smile onto that stage and making the people feel good about themselves.

I like rock music because it's always sonically fascinating. There's never a method to what it needs to sound like. It's just however that instrument comes out that day, whatever the humidity level was in the air, what studio you were at. All that makes that tone that you can't re-create, so each song is like a person.

Why there aren't people out there willing to have fun playing rock 'n' roll. I just don't get it.

You wouldn't want to be in a rock band - trust me.

For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.

I'm in a band, and we play music. And that's sort of my way of still being a rock star.

As soon as you pick up a guitar, you're up against the legends of rock. The same goes with stadium drum kits and electric bass. Essentially, you're already in a soundscape that's very familiar and has a lot of established legendary material recorded using those instruments.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.
