I hate most of what constitutes rock music, which is basically middle-aged crap.

I have to admit, I do not listen to much rock music.

I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.

I don't listen to a ton of rock music.

I was raised to think that rock was music for ignorant people who didn't think for themselves.

I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands.

Obviously the people that I admired, like the Beatles, were really into rock'n'roll, but it was already a little past rock'n'roll when I started listening and making my own choices about music.

I feel like the rap metal at the end of the 1990s destroyed rock music for everybody and suddenly everybody felt like they had to apologise for being in rock bands. People suddenly felt bad about wanting to reach massive audiences and the sense of theatre, that we have in our live show, became something to avoid.
