Let's Get Rocked At Home - Rick Allen Interview Quotes

What do you think is the most crucial event in the success of the band?

"That's a really good question. And I think the thing that really makes us somewhat unique in terms of our relationship is not really the success."

"But I think some of the, some of the things that weren't so pleasant like losing Steve, or you know when I went through my accident."

"And it was one of those times when you sort of. You're sitting around in a room with each other and you look at one another and you're like 'Why are we doing this again?'. And everybody seemed to come up with, you know, 'We're friends'."

"And that's, you know, that's what, that's why we wanna do this. But I think they were the times that really showed the character of the band and the individuals."

"And just that, just really finding out who you're friends are you know. Especially you know when things are really dark."

"So I think that's one of the things and then the other thing is the fact that we're constantly writing new music. People say 'Oh are you making another record?'. No, there's always new music. People are always coming up with new ideas."

"And I think that keeps it vibrant. Keep it fresh."

"So, you know, I think that's a very important thing in terms of, you know, just keeping the band in sort of a forward momentum."
