To Remain Relevant Though, I Think Making

Japan Is Quite Weird Because They Wait For You To Say Something Before They Respond. You Can Literally Hear A Pin Drop, They Don't Make A Sound Until You Say Something To The Crowd.

Our Band Stereophonics Never Wanted To Release A Couple Records And Be The Biggest Band In The World For 10 Minutes. We Always Wanted To Stand The Test Of Time, And Make Great Music That People Would Want To Listen To And That Music Lasts. We'd Looked Up To Artists And Bands That Had Big Back Catalogues.

To Maintain A Consistency When People Come To See The Band Takes A Lot Of Work; It Takes A Lot Of Discipline. I Go To The Studio Every Day And Sing And Play. I Never Did That When I Was, Like, 30. I'd Probably Have A Drink And Walk On - And See What Comes Out. But Now If There's Ten Albums' Worth Of Material People Are Coming To Hear Some Of, And They've Paid Money For A Ticket, You Become A Different Person When You Go On And You Want To Give The Best Show You Can. You Want To Be Better At What You Do.

Big Shows Are More Like Events And Small Shows Are More Like Traditional Gigs.

I Didn't Really Feel Any Pressure When I've Made Records, I Haven't As Yet Anyway. I Feel When I'm Making A Record That I'm So Excited About Making New Songs That When I'm Doing Demos Of New Songs, As Soon As I Make One That's Really Different I Get Really Excited About The Record, I Don't Care About The Last Record Anymore.
