We spend more time on the road and when we cut an album, it'll take us as long as six months.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
We live for our concerts. We like a live appearance more than anything else about this business and it bothers us when we put so much into it and the critics bomb us.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
The audience loves us! They buy out all our shows and really enjoy themselves but the press keeps right on bombin' us. We thought at first it was because our music was too Texan, maybe too different for East coast people to relate to. But anyone can relate to bein' drunk or missin' your woman.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
We can't figure out why any time we play in the East, the critics either ignore us or write a pretty bad review of the show.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
People got to know us from hearing us live because there wasn't much publicity or radio airplay for a long time.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
They sent us the script of 'Back to the Future III' and we wrote 'Doubleback' for it.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
A lot of your rock people, even early, like Elvis, have always come from the South.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Today, there's so many different types of music out there that it's difficult to keep up. Things do change; it's only natural.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
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.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Listen to really old blues guys and how they weren't allowed to sing about what they meant; they alluded to things. I find that style amusing, and I think it's a little harder to write.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
They say you look ten pounds heavier on TV, but it makes your beard look longer.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
The videos have given us a younger audience. You know, our audience grew up with us until the videos, and they were beginning to get a little long in the tooth. Then the videos came along, and now we've recaptured the 16-year-old girls. The 16-year-old girls!
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Being a three piece, maybe it's easier. You only have two other guys, musically, and everything else to contend with and work with.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
The three of us being brought up, even though we didn't know each other in our early lives, on the same type of music, same type of environment, there's a lot of sameness there. It's three peas in a pod, if they'll fit.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Some people unfortunately don't enjoy what they do at all for a living or whatever. That is unfortunate. We do always enjoy playing music.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
In any relationship you have times where it gets tedious. But that becomes a strength. That you are able to hang around someone even when they get on your nerves.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
If we found an ashtray in the studio, we'd try to play it and find a part for it in a song.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
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.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
It was the beginning of our second career. We certainly had a full career - 15 years at it - before it came out, but 'Eliminator' had a tremendous impact on us and the people who listen to us.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
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.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
It's always important for us to record, so if we're not performing live, that's what we're doing.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I love the beards and the cars and the girls and the different guitars, but I'm not at all caught up in the image thing.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
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.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I remember when our first album came out. After one of our gigs, we went across the border to Mexico and the band in the bar where we were was doing covers of our songs. I don't think they understood a word they were singing but they did the songs perfectly.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
No, I never envisioned the band lasting this long. But then again, I cant envision next week, even though I have a schedule.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I think environment is more important to us than even equipment and the studio.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Usually we're always working on something with this band a tour, making an album or a video or whatever. I don't have any desire to do anything outside this band, except play a movie part or something.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I mean, I get all the gratification in the world from doing a show. It's a great feeling.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
We got pretty techno on 'Eliminator' and 'Afterburner,' which I enjoyed. I think they're good albums, but we wanted to start using the techno element a little more sparingly.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I love recording and I love everything - videos, everything like that - but playing live is what does it for me.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
We are unique because we're the same three guys, and as Billy says, playing the same three chords.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Elvis Presley's Sun stuff - there's an album out in England with just about all those sides on it - you know, the sound of that upright bass slapping away: that's what I like to listen to. That and Richard Pryor, that is.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
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.
