play want stones
I didn't want to stay in the Stones, and be stuck in a position having to play a music I didn't like anymore and that restricted me from doing all the others things I'm interested in because of time.
different projects different-music
I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.
thinking musician proud
There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.
photography interesting hobbies
I have very interesting hobbies like archeology and photography.
music rocks long
I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.
girl baby house
I live in a house that was built in 1480. It has a moat around it. It is like a little baby castle.
player sound boards
Onstage I like to play with a an 18-inch speaker, which very few bass players do. I need that fat, underneath sound, which I've always had. It suits me admirably to do it like that, and I can imitate that sound by plugging directly into the board in the studio.
forte persons
I'm not an upfront person. Being upfront is not my forte. I'm quite happy to stay in the back there with the drums, where I belong.
fashion people young
Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.
respect player bass
I always got great respect as a bass player.
maybe playing special tv year
If they were doing something special, like maybe a TV special for the year 2000, playing the old songs, then maybe I'll do it.
left object pick realize since touch
When you pick it up you realize that you are the first person to touch that object since someone left it there 800 years ago.
courted drove mothers took
We courted adversity, took risks, and drove mothers crazy.
album bits finished focused knew quite satisfied solo soundtrack until
Because I had to do everything in bits and pieces, I was never quite satisfied when I finished a solo album or a soundtrack because I knew I could have done them better if I could have focused on them 100% until they were done.
