Quotes

• “I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King.”
• “If it was happening, I'd call it Heavenly Beast. If it wasn't happening, I usually call it Arsehole.”
• “I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up.”
• “We want to appeal to everyone and get rich quick. We want to be millionaires. I've got this plan to buy Tasmania you see...”
• “It's just rock and roll. A lot of times we get criticized for it. A lot of music papers come out with: 'When are they going to stop playing these three chords?' If you believe you shouldn't play just three chords it's pretty silly on their part. To us, the simpler a song is, the better, 'cause it's more in line with what the person on the street is.”
• “We're a rock group. We're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.”
