In no way am I supporting or suggesting that a Conservative government is a good thing, far from it.
I think it's good for the composer to teach because you always have new students and you have to begin at the beginning and make things clear.
There are some things that are never out of fashion because they just look good. But if you want classic style these days you have to get it made.
Deep Purple is a damn good band and we've made a niche in rock 'n' roll history. Maybe not a huge one but enough to be very proud of.
Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.
I got a lot from my uncle who is a really good ska guitarist. Very ragged makeshift rhythms and intricate lines.
If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If its marketed right, you'll buy it. But... If its real... you'll feel it.

Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.
I loved music, but I found myself at the point where I wanted to die. I didn't care about life.
I've had a big heart my whole life; all the Korn fans know that. A lot of people told me that I was different.
I'm sure every song has some kind of undertone of what I was going through with Chris. It was my life.
I'm not one of these guys who is dedicated to playing or performing - that's just one facet of my life.
There really is a certain magic that happens when you're in the studio. And it's important in life to feel that magic: to feel that there is something greater moving all this along.
