“I think rock 'n' roll is very visual. All of the best bands, like The ...” — John Waite Quote

“I think rock 'n' roll is very visual. All of the best bands, like The Stones, The Who and Small Faces, were very valid both musically and visually.”

“I think the Journey guys wanted to be back in Journey and I wanted to be back solo.”

“I was staring at a wall of photos and thought, 'What would that sound like if it was music?' And I guess that was the kicker. That's what got me going.”

“I decided I couldn't ever again deal with the megabusiness end of the music business.”

“Turning 40, your past really comes back to you. You're very aware of where you've been the plans you've made, the memories you have, and the mistakes you've made.”

“We'll just tour til we drop; at certain times in your life, that's the only answer.”

“When I played in a band, people just stand there and look at you and criticize what they didn't like. But if you watch a D.J. show, people go crazy from beginning to end. Say what you want against D.J.'s, but you can't deny that the energy level in the audience is for the most part far above what rock bands have.”

“Before every show, we get into a circle, hold hands, and someone makes a speech. Most bands are too cool for that.”

“Certainly, there are huge, multiplatinum bands whose singers command their audience's attention. Sadly, much of the time they have little to say.”

“When I get 13 or 14 years old, I get crazy with rock music, like, like, deeply crazy. And one of my favorite bands at that moment was, for example, like - bands like Metallica or Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Santana, you know? And then I start to play metal, actually, when I was - at the age of 15.”

“Growing up, I always wanted to be in punk bands, so I'm really enjoying the harder, heavier element. It's always been my dream to have people moshing at my gig, kind of that really feral element of the music coming out more. I love crowd-surfing.”
