Musician

A long time ago, you couldn't say what you mean in blues. You had to disguise it, and that's where the double entendres and humour comes from and that's where we come from.

I just love the idea of taking an elevator down to the stage, like Elvis did.

I'm a sex symbol. Is that wild? It blows me away. I mean, I've always known it, I just figured nobody else did.

They sent us the script of 'Back to the Future III' and we wrote 'Doubleback' for it.

I'm a fan of Las Vegas and always have been, on many levels.

You don't have to play the blues to play rock 'n' roll, but that's where, somewhere along the line, your influences came from. I mean, I don't care where you got it from. If you got it from Eric Clapton, he got it from the blues.

We were on the road playing when we started acquiring gold records.

We record a lot of our shows, we record our soundchecks.

Legs' wouldn't be 'Legs' unless it had that driving synth bass.

We all like each other. I know people ask us that, and I hate to disappoint them, but we get along great and we enjoy playing with one another, and what can I say? I'm as surprised as anyone else.

We got word that Mick Jagger heard our first album and liked it. And he wanted us to open for the Stones in Hawaii. That just blew us away. But the next thing I heard was that Stevie Wonder opened for them here in the States and actually got booed at one show. So I was scared to death.

Somehow it seems more clever to refer to something instead of saying it.

I think environment is more important to us than even equipment and the studio.

If there are people who admire us and what we do, that's a huge compliment. As long as it doesn't get too crazy.

Selling a million records used to be a big deal. I guess it's not anymore.

When we were first approached with the idea to do videos, we said why not. We used the things that we do in our lives in the videos.

My impression of Las Vegas was in the movies and on TV. So we were all gonna go see somebody perform - I can't recall who it was - and we went out and rented tuxedos because I thought that's what you did in Vegas.

Some thought it strange that we incorporated synthesizers in our music but the equipment was there so we just figured out a way to use it.

People shouldn't knock the synthesizer. It's an aid, and it depends on how you use it, just like any other instrument.

Actually, my mother turned me on to the blues. We had Lightnin' Hopkins as well as Elvis Presley records.
