You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.

My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass.

I have two main bass guitars, and my main bass is a four-string 1964 Fender Jazz, and I've named it Justine.

Obviously, we're not a million miles apart ? [we both have] guitars, drums, bass and keyboards. But within those instruments, we're different. Unfortunately, people have been saying I resemble Chris Martin. I just don't need to have that. That winds me up more than anything.

One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.

I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs.
