Some thought it strange that we incorporated synthesizers in our music but the equipment was there so we just figured out a way to use it.

It was the beginning of our second career. We certainly had a full career - 15 years at it - before it came out, but 'Eliminator' had a tremendous impact on us and the people who listen to us.

I'm a sex symbol. Is that wild? It blows me away. I mean, I've always known it, I just figured nobody else did.

It's always important for us to record, so if we're not performing live, that's what we're doing.

Selling a million records used to be a big deal. I guess it's not anymore.

I think everybody would admit that we've got a sense of humor.

I love the beards and the cars and the girls and the different guitars, but I'm not at all caught up in the image thing.

A long time ago, you couldn't say what you mean in blues. You had to disguise it, and that's where the double entendres and humour comes from and that's where we come from.

I remember when our first album came out. After one of our gigs, we went across the border to Mexico and the band in the bar where we were was doing covers of our songs. I don't think they understood a word they were singing but they did the songs perfectly.

No, I never envisioned the band lasting this long. But then again, I cant envision next week, even though I have a schedule.

Our live shows are a visual as well as a musical experience.

We're serious musicians. And we dont want our shows to be circuses.

I love playing music and I'm serious about It. But It's not brain surgery.

I think environment is more important to us than even equipment and the studio.

Usually we're always working on something with this band a tour, making an album or a video or whatever. I don't have any desire to do anything outside this band, except play a movie part or something.

I mean, I get all the gratification in the world from doing a show. It's a great feeling.

Basically we're a blues oriented rock 'n' roll band… easy to listen to.

We got pretty techno on 'Eliminator' and 'Afterburner,' which I enjoyed. I think they're good albums, but we wanted to start using the techno element a little more sparingly.

The women really seemed to like ‘Rough Boy.'

We brought what we liked from the real world into our videos.

We all write the lyrics together, but Frank really shines on 'em pretty good.

I love recording and I love everything - videos, everything like that - but playing live is what does it for me.

We record a lot of our shows, we record our soundchecks.

We are unique because we're the same three guys, and as Billy says, playing the same three chords.
