"It was funny, because when we did [the debut album] Velvet Revolver, we had our relationships with certain singers, but we wanted to make a modern rock album, and we had to figure out a way to make that work," Matt Sorum tells Lokaos Rock Show. "We didn't wanna be like Guns N' Roses. We knew we had that in us anyway, especially because the Slash and Duff sound was the initial sound of "Appetite For Destruction," the way they played together and everything. Part of that chemistry was there, and when we added Scott [Weiland], it brought it into a more modern rock element. He came more from grunge � the Seattle [sound like] Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and bands like that. So it took it sort of forward. We became more of a modern rock band and we were on modern rock radio. Guns N' Roses wasn't even being played on those radio stations in America."

"So we've kind of got this groove down to the point we're kind of having our cake and eating it too."

"The reason I am not on the road with Roger is that this is entirely Roger's adventure, one that is bringing him great joy," Townshend wrote. "I don't belong on this Tommy tour. I wish him well, sincerely, and I look forward to playing with Roger again doing Quadrophenia next year."

"Absolutely that is what we are talking about that the moment," drummer Philip Selway told BBC6 Music, via NME. "It felt exciting doing that and it felt like we had something else to offer musically.

The first idea for the song came up when I saw The Cult in Stockholm last year. The crowd went crazy when they started out with the song �Rise� and I thought; �God I really need to write a song like this!� I came home and did just that!

The lyrics however came along in a process like it usually does with me - based on self experience. Where as most people would go to psychiatrists, I chose to write a song and the result became the lyrics for �Black Star�.

The truth is I really met "a captain of a different kind" - a black star - that dragged me down. Somebody who I depended on, looked up to and trusted. But in the end this person was just playing with me and actually threatened my life in many different ways. As you see I got out of it with my life in one piece and I just felt like sharing it with you guys.

Remember - don't you ever take sh*t from nobody!
