Loud is a way of life.

I've always been loud.

I am quite loud and bolshie. I'm a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.

Quiet is better than loud.

Something that I think I figured out slowly was if you're playing a show and there's a chatter or there is, you know, a lot of noise - people talking or something - I was never the one whose instinct was to try to be louder than them.

People say I play real loud. I don't, actually. I'm recorded loud and a lot of that is because we have good engineers. Mick knows what a good drum sound is as well, so that's part of the illusion really. I can't play loud.

When a human being without amplification makes a sound that is high and loud, it is almost unworldly.

I tend to get over-excited and very, very loud. I rein myself in when people flinch and dogs start howling.
