real men thinking
That's something - you laugh about Eminem... It's funny, man, because I didn't like him when he first came out, ya know. It seemed like a big joke. But I think the guy's for real, and I like his lyrics!
men thinking numbers
Every now and then you think about your life, what you would like to be, you start at Number 1 and you go down to 100. And down at the bottom, 100, was - Stage. Go figure. That would be the last thing. It terrified me, man. But I had to do it.
men experience doe
Experience really does make you better, man.
real men people
I like performers who I know are for real. You can tell, man, there's an intensity about their stuff. You can tell right away they're real people, ya know?
men laughing starting
You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.
men years get-better
We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.

We started out in England with a couple of shows, and then in Berlin and then France. It was really amazing. The audiences have been wonderful.

But, Eminem... No, I've loved rap for a long time, especially when it got out of its first period and became this gangsta rap, ya know this heavy rap thing? That's when I started to fall in love with it. I loved the lyrics. I loved the beat.
saws pops changed
It was when I saw Iggy Pop, that's what did it for me. That changed my life pretty much.
space guy cash
But it was great, we sit in the same dressing room where, like, Johnny Cash sat and Willie Nelson and all those guys. That was in itself something amazing - I was on the same space these guys stood on, ya know?
suicide fingerprints courses
But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.
country emo texas
We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!
