Lt Hookstratten		I would like to get the playing on about nineteen hundred hours. I make it now... it's about eighteen hundred and thirty hours.
Derek		So that's what? 50 hours? 120 hours?
Lt Hookstratten		That's actually about half an hour.
Comments


Nigel		The numbers all go to eleven.
Marty		Oh, I see, most amps go up to ten. Does that mean it's any louder?
Nigel		Well, it's one louder, isn't it.
Comments


David		It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.
Comments



David		There's like a reaction of the female to our music.
Nigel		Really, they're quite fearful. It's my theory, they see us on stage with tight trousers. We've got, you know, armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening, the size. And they run screaming.
Comments


David		You know, several... dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.
Comments


Nigel		It's so black, it's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is... none. None more black.
Comments



Nigel		I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach. And it's sort of in between those, like a Mach piece.
Marty		What do you call this?
Nigel		Well this piece is called Lick My Love Pump.
Comments


Lt Hookstratten		We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I'm not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of rock 'n' roll.
Comments


David		Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.
Comments



Marty		Do you feel that playing rock 'n' roll music keeps you a child? Keeps you in a state of arrested development?
Derek		No, no. I feel it's more like going to a national park or something. And they've preserved the moose. And that's my childhood up there onstage is that moose.
Marty		So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose onstage?
Comments


Marty		Oh, there was a St Hubbins?
David		Yeah, he was the patron saint of quality footwear.
