"That album was such a big influence on me; it was played a lot on the eight-track in the transit van as we travelled to gigs. We liked it, it was mega. The songs were great, it had I’m Waiting For The Man and Sweet Jane on it, and it was really dark."

"It just really changed my life. I was quite young when I saw it, about 14, but it must have gone in – I ended up wearing the very same jacket as David Hemmings in the film. It's a unique document about what a carve-up it was, the Crimean War. It was a very unpopular film when it came out. I actually flew back from LA to see it in a cinema once, it was shown so rarely."

"In England, it was always presumed that it was written about the space landing, because it kind of came to prominence around the same time. But it actually wasn’t. It was written because of going to see the film 2001, which I found amazing. I was out of my gourd anyway, I was very stoned when I went to see it, several times, and it was really a revelation to me. It got the song flowing."

"""""I actually learned how to play drums in my attic listening to 'Doctor Feelgood,' the Mötley Crüe record,"" Levine said. ""Just listening to it and playing it. I had a karaoke machine that I'd put, it was a really bad idea, but I put it right by my ear in order to get it loud enough, I'd have to crank it all the way."" "I just had these drums, a really crappy drum set,"" he continued. ""I would be listening to it and playing it, almost treating it like a monitor, and I'd have it rigged up so it was blasting in my face and I'd play that whole album and I learned how to play drums. So, thank you Tommy Lee, appreciate it."
