What keeps me going is knowing how ecstatic everyone will be when it gets back to normal . I do believe things will get back to normal . Hopefully it will be a vaccine sometime next year , and the sooner the better . I think there should be free beer for everyone ! At least in this lockdown , we have managed to make a Jurassic Park of an album .
As someone who has been in the business for so long and has seen everything , what are some of the biggest changes that you ’ ve experienced in that time ?
As a father of 3 myself , I ’ m curious , what is it like writing , creating and performing in a band with your boys ?
PHIL : It ’ s the most wonderful feeling in the world . It ’ s unique . I don ’ t know of any other band in this situation . Sometimes when I am on stage and I ’ m like ‘ listen to this fantastic noise me and my boys are making ’, and 10 minutes later you forget because you ’ re jamming with this great rock band . It ’ s like going in and out of consciousness . It ’ s great , I ’ m proud of them all . They are amazing musicians .
PHIL : Untalented people with a voice tuner making way more money than hard working rock bands are , or just getting tits out or something like that for hype . I miss the days of a band working hard to make it . I was 13 when I started getting paid in this business . I was in a band called Persian Risk before Motorhead and we had no cell phones . If we had a gig , we had to drive into that town when it was dark and stick up a bunch of posters in the village so know one would see us . I remember buying gatefold sleeve albums like “ Houses of the Holy ” and opening it up for the first time .. a marvelous feeling .
