There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.

I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up front of a crowd and rip it up.

Style, I didn't think we had any! I just plug in and hit the thing really hard. That's my style...or lack of one!

I saw all the women and I figured that looked good. I was horney. I got a guitar off my brother and started playing anything.

I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.

When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.

I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.

We're a rock group. we're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.

Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.
