The Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band “Everything that needs to be said about this record has already been said a thousand times. One of the most important albums of all time, etcetera. But for me there was an additional thing – the bass. I started out as a bass player, and when I first heard this record I was absolutely floored by McCartney’s bass playing. Just phenomenal.”

ZZ Top Eliminator “Thin Lizzy opened for them in America in the mid-seventies, and there was nearly a fight when their roadies wouldn’t let us in the venue while they sound-checked. That night at the hotel, Billy Gibbons apologised for what happened and said he would pay for everybody’s drinks for the rest of the night! Every time Lizzy played in Texas after that there would always be a bottle of Wild Turkey in the dressing room and a note from Billy. What a guy! What a band!”
