I wanted to emulate music from America - young punks playing rock n' roll is what it was. I read part of Keith Richards' autobiography, and it was totally parallel with me, learning from American records.
I don't think drums had ever sounded so big until Led Zeppelin's first album.
The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.
I was excited about opening for Vanilla Fudge because I was a big fan of theirs.
I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising.
I seem to have tireless energy when I get involved in things, on an almost OCD basis, which is a good way to do things because if you're gonna do something, you'd better make sure you do it well.
