It's better now anyway. With keyboards onstage we had turned into this '60s garage thing, and that's not what we're about.

We tried to get him treatment, but he said no. While we were recording the album, my sister committed suicide because she was a junkie. At that point, I really didn't want to be around people who were strung out — let alone one of my best friends.

I don't wanna play to 40-year-old rock guys in 20-year-old rock T-shirts.

We were just (manure). We turned it on with 10 minutes left. That's not enough. That's not what is going to do it.

I got there just a second late but he had me beat anyway, ... so I just came off and turned and threw. I got lucky. I appreciate it, Jones.
