We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. Music is meant to be played as loudly as possible, really raw and punchy, and I'll punch out anyone who doesn't like it the way I do.

It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you.

I was in a band called The Valentines and they broke up last week.

I was married at the time when I first joined the band and my wife said: 'Why don't you write a song about me ?' So I wrote 'She's got balls'. Then she divorced me.

I'm 33...before AC/DC I've played in a lot of bands in Australia. You're never too old to rock and roll.

Guys are OK... shake their hand... Women are special. You can hug 'em.

Let your ambitions fly, let nothing hold you back.
