We just get up there and play rock-and-roll music, man. Everybody sweats and has a good time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We're a staple in the American music culture. Like us or not, we're here to stay.
Here in England we live at a slower pace, have more time to enjoy things - like good jazz.
Texas is a hotbed of insanely good bands and musicians.
We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!
I just like playing music and doing it with people that I care about. It doesn't really matter where. It's like, 'Why don't we just play piano in a small bar? Why do we want to make an arena full of people happy?'
Rock n' roll really belongs to all America. It really doesn't belong to one city.
Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.
America is tough for rock music. Rock n' roll used to be the main music for the youth, and it's not so much anymore. It's hip-hop and stuff.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
In the kind of fast-food world that we live in, where everything's so fast paced and it's, 'Look over here! Look over there,' we don't really take the time to sit down and enjoy music - or anything else, for that matter.
