It was a scene in the sense that we were all close and we all knew each other before the different bands had really formed. We used to rehearse in the same place.

One of the main things we learned as a band in those days was not to be the headliner.

I was always really into the music rather than the scene.

It was one of the marvellous feelings of the film, having the music going in your head while doing scenes.

The band couldn't have happened anywhere else in the world but New York. That was the catalyst.

In the wake of the San Francisco scene, ears were alive. It was a listening generation.

All you could do was to see them. We were backstage when the Beatles were on and you could just about hear a noise. It was just literally screaming.

I listened to a lot of bands that were happening at the time, but no one in particular.
