Even the two times that I left, I never really felt like I left the band. It's very bizarre. It's like there's sort of an umbilical cord that stretches between us spiritually.

My love for the band is still there. It hasn't changed, maybe that's why it's so painful these days.

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!

There's definitely a solitary aspect to not having a band, and there are times when I wish that I did.

I've always just given myself to the band, if you know what I mean, and been busy with that.

Good bands you can kind of lose, then come back and realize they're still good.

I slowly started to drift back into music again. I finally got the call from John... about getting the band back together again. It was so out of the blue. I almost thought that the moment had passed.

I didn't have the confidence to leave the band because of a solo career, or anything like that. I just wanted to grow.

When I left my band, I had to start over from scratch, and that's a scary place to go.

So I've had lots of different bands over the years who have stayed with me for certain tours.
