I play drums every chance I get. That's the love of my life.
Literally, there's not a song that I've done, and I've written a lot of songs... there's not a song that I've done that I can't sit down and do acoustically for you. Including 'Cherry Pie.'
Eventually, our kind of music, whether it's us or Motley or Poison of whoever, will define the 1980s. That's something to be proud of.
Not having a stable home life, and then not having a good stable belief system, or whatever, has always sent me into a tailspin just as soon as I hit the road.
My first year in L.A., I was in a band called Plain Jane, which is where the whole name Jani came from.
My formula is not thinking about what I'm doing; it's about still having fun and making music. I don't go into the studio with a thought pattern or certain goals in mind - sometimes I'll start with drums, other times I'll start with the piano - but it's all done spontaneously, so nothing is premeditated, and nothing takes a long time.
With something like 'Second Sun' it was something I'd never really done before. It has no drums and I think that was the first time I'd done this sort of instrumental, bass-less kind of piece.
Of course drums weren't meant to be played other than sitting on the ground. When you're upside-down, your feet don't want to sit on the pedals.
I just don't see myself as retiring. As long as I'm healthy and can play the drums, that's what I'm going to do because that's the most fun thing that I know how to do.
