quotes
"It’s definitely got more depth to it, more emotion. It’s got a bit more swing, as well, know what I mean?" (on Without You I'm Nothing)
"The first album is the party, the second album is the hangover."
"I was scared [about recording] the second LP. The first LP goes gold in England, that's your next standard [and] I wasn't on the first one! [I felt] it's now or never, [but] we did it with great ease."
"We're not a singles band and Without You I'm Nothing isn't meant for that sort of thing. We're not really interested in making a quick buck. I think we'd like to make 10 albums. Although it's something that we don't really talk about I know that we'd like to end up an international band like U2."
"We did an ill-fated German tour, playing heavy metal clubs, poodle-rock places with punters in Spandex. We were in Leipzig and the lighting guy had some incredible skunk, which is rare for East [sic] Germany, so during the soundcheck we got very creative and started writing the album. The gig was shit, though, because we'd spent all our creativity on the soundcheck."
"We seem to be getting these major, major fans. They seem to be insane. Me and Brain have had a few stalkers in Britain over the past couple of years, but we've managed to shake that off. I don't know what it is. If I knew, I'd sort it out. It's just people's heads. The kind of stuff fans do for bands is unbelievable - just standing around in the cold for eight hours. I'd never do that for a band. We get a good cross-section of sane and weirdoes. It always seems to be an extreme with us. I think the normal people are more unpredictable. They look sane, but they might not be. When you see somebody that's completely mad, you know where you stand."
