Music Radar - Rick Allen Interview Quotes
Donington 1986
"Donington is a crossroads in my life", Rick recalls. "That was where it all changed for me. That was really scary. I didn't think I could pull it off. But to feel the warmth of a crowd like that, just feeling the sense that they wanted me to succeed and feeling that encouragement was just incredible. What a moment."
The Hysteria Album
"That whole album conjures up the gratitude and the hardships we all go through in life, the ups and downs. But ultimately to succeed with that gratitude in your heart. That record leaves me in a really good place. It's like, 'Everything is ok exactly where it is, don't move anything, it's fine.'"
