“I know, it was bizarre when I counted them up and came up with 17, I couldn’t believe it."

We go one on one with Evermore's Jon Hume.

"So afterwards everyone would be fucking SMASHED and we’d go through a drive-through right by the club and order egg burritos to kinda absorb some of the alcohol – that’s back when Mötley got together and you could drink and drive and stuff, right?"

“Although in some ways of course it’s artificial, its music, but I don’t think we know how to calculate what we’re doing."

“We are working on it right now. We love playing Australia and it was where we did the very first recording of this album, at a studio in Byron Bay, so for us it has a special meaning.”

“Some of what we’re talking about is just a time when we all partied at this house in that area."

"At that time, the music was very confusing and there was a lot of things happening – things were not stable."

"When we were at school and stuff we were just playing covers and [our drummers] were terrible. I mean, one of them was good but we were horrible. But it was fun."

"We’re just having a lot of fun doing it, above all, at the moment, so I’m really excited to get the album out there and play the gigs around Australia.”

"It’s kind of telling a story or working through that experience of beating yourself up and then finding a way to work through it all."

"Thanks for the memories Coachella; you've been a magnificently generous bitch."
