If you get too big for your boots, if you've got big dreams, you're gonna get them broken or shattered.

Angus and I had silent dreams about playing in a band since we were kids, always playing our guitars and listening to records.

I'd listen to a song and say, 'Hang on, I like that piano thing,' so I'd play the guitar like that and get the vibe from it, and it just evolved from the get-go. It was pretty obvious what to do; You don't think about rock n' roll: you just do it.

Why not simply work better and harder at what you've got?

You can't outdo Angus, you know. It's a difficult one.

I used to listen to the Beatles and Stones, whereas Angus was more into the heavier stuff - Cream, Hendrix - with the lead guitar.

The blues singers were talking about everyday life, and they pushed a button.

Everyone played a bit of guitar in our family.

It just gives us that adrenaline charge when we go on. We know we're gonna come off two hours later, but we're pushing it all the way; we build it right through. It's amazing how it happens. It's sort of magical, because you couldn't do it in a rehearsal like that; you need that audience in front, and that's really what gets us going.

I love coming back to Scotland.
