“We├óΓé¼Γäóve been embraced in Britain in a way that I├óΓé¼Γäóll never understand, and it├óΓé¼Γäós such a wonderful thing. But over here [in America], people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow]. It├óΓé¼Γäós not just us; there are a lot of great bands that have been held down or confined by the influence of these people that we├óΓé¼Γäóve put up on pedestals. I├óΓé¼Γäóm tired of it, you know? I just want to knock them all off! And people don├óΓé¼Γäót like that attitude. It├óΓé¼Γäós almost like they don├óΓé¼Γäót believe that it├óΓé¼Γäós possible that anybody else can be the real deal.”
