I'd love to do Pat Benatar. Probably either 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot' or 'We Belong'.
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.
We're fans of stuff like Maiden, but I think we generally get it from weirder places. For me, the Eagles' 'Hotel California' represents one of the most brilliant harmony approaches to music. Boston did it very well, too.
I was a Skynyrd fan before I was approached to be a part of Skynyrd, and they always ended it with 'Free Bird,' so I've been watching it since I was a kid.
People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It's quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders, the memories of so many people.
I wanted to write a song that's known to the world as a classic, stadium-rock anthem.
'Livin' on a Prayer,' 'Wanted Dead or Alive' - those are iconic songs.
The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.
The power chords in 'Come Sail Away' were super heavy to me as a kid. Metal? No. Hard rock? At times, for sure.
I wanna write a classic metal record, a classic rock record, in 2013.
'Teenage Wildlife' is just epic. It's, like, five or six minutes long, and it kind of crescendos and builds into this insane vocal of Bowie wailing. I think I would pay $5,000 dollars to see footage of that recording session.
I'd like to write a big rock anthem again. I just need to listen to Korn, and then I might get the idea of how to do it.
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
My favorite song to play is 'Smokin' by Boston. I actually had a chance to play that with the band Boston live.
They're great songs. How many bands wouldn't like to have a 'Freebird' or 'Sweet Home Alabama' to play every night?
I'd definitely like to see less twerking and more power chords.
'Hell is for Children' is amazing to do every night and 'Promises in the Dark' and 'Love Is a Battlefied,' of course, but my absolute favorite would be 'Heartbreaker.' It's the one that started everything, so it has a very special place in my heart. And it still rocks every night! It's so fun to do.
Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath.
AC/DC is a prime example of taking that blues rock thing and just living in that world. They only really move the furniture around a little on each album, but it still works.
Hell's Bells ringing, my secret music.
I'm working on a proper rock record, a good, old-school rock record. Finally.
Heart has always been a rock band. It's always been hard-rock.
Anybody who has ever played in bars has played 'Keep Your Hands to Yourself.' It's a monumental piece of rock & roll. It makes you feel exactly like rock & roll is supposed to make you feel.
If you don't like The Ramones, you don't like rock 'n'roll. They're like The Beach Boys without the sea.
I like Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' because it's got a nice low singing voice.
