Let's see, I think the first thing we gotta to do is obviously, like you guys were expecting, is we gotta tank Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year. Ha, Ha!!

First of all, what do you guys think about this? Obviously, keep on snapping away.

Over the course of our career we've been fortunate enough to share the stage with a select few of the bands we grew up on, admired and respected including AC/DC, Deep Purple, Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden. The only band that we have never played with but have always wanted to is the Rolling Stones.

The music gets better and better. It ages so well. Some bands that you sit and listen to, and it just sounds completely silly a few years later, but that Nirvana stuff, when you hear it on the radio nowadays, it sounds as vital and vibrant as it did 10, 12 years ago, when it first came out. And one can only obviously wonder what other cool stuff would've come out of that whole thing.

Napster hijacked our music without asking, ... They never sought our permission. Our catalog of music simply became available as free downloads on the Napster system.

The new album will come out some time in november - Knock On Wood.
