I don't think the label cares about an album... People just want their number-one record.

I think the record industry has gotten to be more about labels wondering what the new single is rather than labels nurturing artists. It's gotten away from making a full album of music that someone would want to listen to all the way through.

Most of the people I know in bands, all they are concerned about is getting to do the next record.

Artists don't always know. Almost every song I ever recorded that was a hit at the majors that the promotional people picked I didn't think it would be a hit. I was wrong every time!

This constant pressure from record companies to come up with a hit single or something like that, I find completely tiresome.

Usually, a band 20 years into its existence doesn't put out its best records.

I think the music business is probably not happy with what we've done, because the people buying the record have actually got to pick what they want to buy, rather than being told what they should buy.

We're probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album.

It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record.

I think that's the problem in a lot of music. We've got these record labels.
