I grew up on radio, not TV.
Things kind of happen organically with me.
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
There's not a moment on it that will sound too familiar, as soon as it sounds comfortably familiar then we like to do something with it to take away that comfortable feeling.
Actually when we stopped New Order I was busier than ever. The only gaps have been while we've been writing.
There's a very fine line between being artistic and being a dickhead - it's like love and hate.
I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.
I went to Columbia University because I knew I wanted to go to a school that was academically rigorous. I prided myself on getting good grades, but I also hated it.
To be honest, I'm one of the least-technical guitar players around. I just want a guitar to feel good and sound good. That's it, period.
It was way out in the woods in a beautiful, huge log studio. Keith Richards came in and did the vocals with Levon. Again, a big party, but we did get a good cut out of it.
A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.
It seems like the older bands are bigger than ever. We get a mixed crowd where you have kids and old blokes like me.
If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.
I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.
They prospect of seeing oneself in the mirror clean-shaven is too close to a Vincent Price film... a prospect not to be contemplated, no matter the compensation.
The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential.
My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
Cancer softened me up. I like the old me better. I liked being angry. It made me feel strong.
I've been touring a lot, and I don't always know how to get around. Google Maps on the iPhone is pretty helpful with that.
I was a big, big fan of Jimmy Burton. Anything with him on, I used to perk up and listen to it over and over and over again.
