Big Shows Are More Like Events And

I Don't Really Know How To Do Anything Else Except Music. But I Do. I've Never Felt More Comfortable Doing It. When I Was Put Into Arenas And Stadiums When I Was 27, I Always Thought Somebody Was Going To Say, 'no, They're Not Here For You.' You Don't Quite Believe That They Actually Like You, Because It's An Extreme Change In Your Life. Which Is Insane Really, Because They Bought The Ticket. So You Start Feeling More Comfortable In Your Skin The More You Do Something, Or The Older You Get.

Our Band Stereophonics Never Wanted To Release A Couple Records And Be The Biggest Band In The World For 10 Minutes. We Always Wanted To Stand The Test Of Time, And Make Great Music That People Would Want To Listen To And That Music Lasts. We'd Looked Up To Artists And Bands That Had Big Back Catalogues.

To Remain Relevant Though, I Think Making Great Records Is The Key.

We've Got A Great Bench Of Songs, And The People Have A Really Good Time At Our Stereophonics's Shows. People Are The Same All Over The World. If We Can Play Football Stadiums And Arenas In One Country, There's No Reason We Can't Play Them In Another Country. People Are People.

Every Song I've Written, It's About What I've Gone Through, Good Or Bad. It Kind Of Comes Out Of Me, And I'm Grateful For That. I've Got Friends Who Are Back Home Who've Got No Way To Express That, And They're Kind Of In A Different Position In Life. It's Alarming To Me That I've Written Something On My Bedroom Floor When I Was 19 Or Something, And Then There's 50,000 People That Know The Words, And They've Got A Similar Feeling. If You Thought About It Too Much, Your Head Would Blow Up.
