Well, I'd had the Fat Mattress earlier as a writing outlet for songs and that.

The Fat Mattress consisted of people I'd played with before joining the 'Experience and it was put together as a song writing situation.

My personal favourite is Jeff Beck. All the others are wonderful as well.

If you want to be a singer, you've got to concentrate on it twenty-four hours a day. You can't be a well driller, too. You've got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don't ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it.

Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.

I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it.
