I Love Playing. If It Was Down

There Was No Working Title For The Album. The Record-jacket Designer Said `when I Think Of The Group, I Always Think Of Power And Force. There's A Definite Presence There.' That Was It. He Wanted To Call It `obelisk'. To Me, It Was More Important What Was Behind The Obelisk. The Cover Is Very Tongue-in-cheek, To Be Quite Honest. Sort Of A Joke On 2001. I Think It's Quite Amusing.

There's Always Music That Moves Me. It Doesn't Necessarily Mean That It's Within The Parenthesis Of Rock Or Blues, Or Whatever. It's Usually Far More Reaching Than That. It Can Be In Many Different Genres.

I Have A Voracious Appetite For All Things, Worldly And Unworldly.

Every Musician Wants To Do Something Which Will Hold Up For A Long Time, And I Guess We Did It With 'stairway To Heaven.'

I'm Pretty Optimistic About The Future Of Rock... It Will Be Back To Composition As In Classical Music Or Jazz.
