| Even before we moved to England we thought we were like a British band. We wanted to be The Who and I kind of admired Mick Jagger, ... We used to play the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles. I would be wheeled on stage in a little ocean liner we made out of wire and papier-mâché, waving hello to the crowd of four or even five people.

And then they said, 'Well lads, even if the record does get finished, there may not be enough vinyl to go around,' ... That wasn't part of our dream of conquering Britain. |
