I haven't been to any gigs for years. I mean I still like people like Phil Collins and stuff like that but I haven't been to any gigs to see some other drummers and go like, 'F*ck Me, he was great'.

[on Phil Collins] I just like the way he plays. He's very straight but he's very effective and he always gets a very good drum sound.

[on Brian Bennett] Brian's a great drummer. I've been a Brian Bennett fan for years. If you listen to a lot of The Shadows stuff that Brian played on it's excellent - excellent drumming and the sound he got and everything, I mean, it was awesome.
