No matter how long you play rock n roll songs might change just as the balls are there, the rock balls. And that's what's important to us.
We meet a lot of people, we drink lots of stuff and have lots of fun
Guys are OK... shake their hand... Women are special. You can hug 'em.
I've been on the road for fifteen years and I had no intent to stop.
What's a punk band? Hey, who's got a beer?
I can't even say the word, it's too early in the day to get upset.
It's nothing to do with us at all, our success is due to the taste of the public.
I've never had a message for anyone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number.
I'm a special drunkard... I drink too much.
The more people they can give us upfront the harder we play.
I was married at the time when I first joined the band and my wife said: 'Why don't you write a song about me ?' So I wrote 'She's got balls'. Then she divorced me.
All the songs we do are basically about one of three things: booze, sex or rock n roll.
We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. Music is meant to be played as loudly as possible, really raw and punchy, and I'll punch out anyone who doesn't like it the way I do.
It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you.
