'Hell Freezes Over' happened, and the Eagles decided to get back to work. We've toured pretty much since then, and I've been around the world a couple times. I had never really gotten any momentum going in a solo project during that period of time - Eagles was pretty much a full time job.
Bruno Mars. He is my favourite artist, and I always look forward to see him perform live.
I love singing, so I want to see how far I can take it. I love the challenge, and I won't be happy until I have a wall full of gold discs and seven huge world tours under my belt.
Back in the day we didn't really have time to be a live act because we were always on TV or doing live interviews. We were being flown all over the world.
After two world tours where we played every state but Greenland, I only saw the inside of a hotel. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but it did get tiring.
From the small clubs of the Harlem Renaissance where he began playing saxophone to world tours for the biggest of the big bands, Benny Carter redefined American jazz. From the start, his fellow musicians said the way he played the sax was amazing. They say that about me, too. (Laughter.) But I don't think they mean it in quite the same way.
Sure I've done some runs and even toured some amazing places around the world, but this is Stone Temple Pilots!
I find that I get most of the same things I loved about performing in the ring when I do my live shows around the world.
My autobiography would be 'Loves music, loves art, works hard, writes music, tours the world, makes records.'
When Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark came out, I got to go to Japan and Australia and France, Italy, Germany, everywhere with the movie. That was great, because I love traveling.
