Seeing you guys then and sitting here
with you now and seeing what's all that
you've been through and went through
everything.
The fact that you guys stuck
together and did all that and you're
still here today and doing better than
ever or as good as ever...
Yeah easily.
I mean how did that happen
for you I mean?
Well the the sticking
together part was kind of simple really.
We came from a rural northern English
working class background.
Where you just know that you're either
gonna become a soccer player,
a musician or a bank robber.
You know that's it.
Or it's factory life.
if you want something outside of the factory there were your three options.
That sticking together part just comes from that working-class background like
of like you've got this possibly only one chance to do something with your life
that's so extraordinary compared to what
everybody else in your locale is doing
that we were scared to do anything but you know?
And when Rick lost his arm,
the way that we'd become even then only
five years as a band, we were so tight
that we were like well it's like you
don't kick your brother out your family
if he has an accident so if he
can't do this it's up to him to tell us
and that gave him the confidence to give it a go.
It's so cool I mean so unheard
of in rock I mean,
I've been thrown out of so
many bands you know?
You go all the way with these people
to the top and sells a gazillion records
and do all this stuff.
And then all of a sudden they throw you
out because for some ego trip or something.
Yeah I never got that,
especially those two bands.
Two of my favorites.
I've been thrown out of two,
but it's okay, I'm happy.
