On Aerosmith 'There is Old Aerosmith, and there is New Aerosmith.

New Aerosmith was the beautiful prom queen with great-smelling hair you were proud to bring home to Mom.'
On Motley Crue's Shout at the Devil album 'The best thing about being young is that you're afforded the liberty of being stupid, and the best thing about Shout at the Devil is that it's a stupid record for stupid young people.'

On Whitesnake 'We used to play a drinking game with Whitesnake's Slide It In cassette that involved taking a shot every time we heard David Coverdale sing the word 'love'. After side one finished it would be a challenge to get up and turn the tape over to do the other side.'
