We'd played for years to half-empty clubs in England.
I don't really get that, when groups tour together or even do anything together when they hate each other.
Although I have been pretty vocal about hating touring, the only part of touring I don't like is being on the bus and bouncing around.
A band that makes records and tours is also a business. That's usually where a lot of disagreements come. It's four guys who are musicians and don't really know much about business, but are very passionate and have very specific ideas.
Over time, certain people don't want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band.
Touring, it's really difficult to actually make a band work, and I think that's why there's so few bands that do work, actually, 'cause there's so much that goes into it.
They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest, they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.
I have a really good band, and just returned from a short tour in California. It hasn't always gone that well.
