Dusty Hill

A long time ago, you couldn't say what you mean in blues. You had to disguise it, and that's where the double entendres and humour comes from and that's where we come from.

When we did 'Eliminator,' at the time, it was experimental for us. It obviously turned out real successful, but at the time, we caught crap about it from some of our old fans. They thought we were deserting our roots or our old style or whatever.

People are all the time telling me stories: they named their son after me, or more than likely their dog. Or they got a tattoo.

I was 19 or 20 the last time I shaved.

We got word that Mick Jagger heard our first album and liked it. And he wanted us to open for the Stones in Hawaii. That just blew us away. But the next thing I heard was that Stevie Wonder opened for them here in the States and actually got booed at one show. So I was scared to death.

Being a three piece, maybe it's easier. You only have two other guys, musically, and everything else to contend with and work with.
