Who’s the new Ramones, who’s the new Guns ‘N Roses, who’s the new Motley Crue, who’s the new Black Sabbath? They’re coming, they’re on the street, they’re 16, 17 years old.

The music industry is saying, This is the format, and if you’ll fit into this format, you can be on radio, and if radio will play you, MTV will expose you, and MTV will expose you, we’ll sell records.

The book is really, really dark, to the point where some people that I’ve talked to have said that it could be a series. And I’m like, Where? VH1? It’s a little hard for VH1.

Some cats, Iggy Pop, they’re going to always have that hunger.

There’s so much history amongst ourselve that reminds us of something, and we start cracking up.

What’s the best angle to cut someone’s throat? Well, usually from behind. That’s usually how it works.

We have a growing new fan base, and we wanted to get out now, and play now, and the timing was right.

The industry is a menace to artists.

Artists are very young, and say, Um, ok, to these industry dudes.

It’s about what happens on stage, whether we can deliver it in a hungry way that is who we are in our hearts.

We did something this year that was not based on animosity.

We were telling everybody we weren’t getting back together when we were in the studio actually recording. We wanted to try it on, to see how it would fit.

If your album sells, that’s cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we’re really about-which is a live rock and roll band.

There’s a pattern when tours start – a pattern of infighting, of making up, of breaking up, of addiction. There’s a pattern of going to jail. There’s a pattern of passion for music.

Motley Crue, collectively and individually, have done things on our own terms.

Who’s the new Ramones, who’s the new Guns ‘N Roses, who’s the new Motley Crue, who’s the new Black Sabbath? They’re coming, they’re on the street, they’re 16, 17 years old.

Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It’s not what the labels want.

I harbored a lot of resentment as a teenager and as a young adult. I still have a problem with authority, I’m trying to listen!

If you were on the phone with me and Tommy right now, we would probably forget you were there, we’d just be cracking jokes. It’s like Beavis and Butthead.

I don’t want to jump through hoops for people.

We each have our own tour bus. We’ve never done that before.

Each guy has his own space. We all end up in one of the other guy’s rooms all the time. We always end up together, as far as people getting along.

I’ve got five kids and I’m married, Tommy’s got two kids and he’s been married, Vince just got married again, Mick’s out of a relationship, Tommy’s single as well. We’ve done a lot in our life, we’ve covered a lot of miles.

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.
