"We were in Paris and MTV was on. I remember I was really sick at the time, and Roddy Frame was singing Deep And Wide And Tall, and he’s just a really great pop songwriter. You can tell the metal guys that have successful, long-lasting careers are usually people that listen to music outside the obvious realm and have influences from outside metal. If we’re just repeating what our peers are doing, we’re not really pushing the envelope. I also own a Scritti Politti single called Wood Beez. It came with a turntable that somebody had left at a house that me and David Ellefson moved into, and I just kind of adopted it. It’s a little bit poppy for me"

"To look at Mick Jagger’s creative output today, working hard to suggest the dynamism of his early career, you may wonder what it is he is straining to return to. This film offers an answer. Rock and roll, particularly British rock of the late sixties and early seventies, featured pioneering, Dionysian front men who lured their fans, male and female, into a bacchanal of sex, drugs, and blistering music. Those gatherings were often combustible. In this case, tragic. The remarkable Maysles brothers and Ms. Zwerin fashion a kind of cinematic, pop Warren Commission of the Altamont Speedway concert/crime scene. You don’t need drugs to get high watching the Stones at their peak. The band, and especially Jagger, are a drug."

"[sings] "When am you gonna come down?" That was a late entry. It was another album that my parents had. It was before I got into Elton John, because I knew of him growing up from 'I'm Still Standing'. Then I listened to this record, and I was: "Oh my god, this dude smashed America", and he was one of the biggest pop stars around, but I hadn't discovered how amazing the actual songwriting was, and on that record you really did - each track was so individual. It's also great to hear how groundbreaking it all was, and how extraordinary his music was. Again, a very varied record that you can't pin down, but it's so cohesive in its entirety."
