Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll.

I'm a rock and roll singer.

I'm spoiled - in all ways. I've been in a rock 'n' roll band since I was 13, and we had incredible success. When it ended, it had been so good that I just looked at it as time to try something different.

Rock Band is more like Stairmaster than it is like rock 'n' roll - it's the same steps with different degrees of difficulty.

I usually listen to classic rock and roll.
