There is always a case of a guitarist being influenced by another guitarist who he admires, and it is the same with drummers and singers as well. But I'm sure we have our own things to offer and definitely we certainly never try to sound like somebody else. It's rubbish that we sound like Led Zeppelin. If we wanted to rip off Led Zeppelin then we'd sound exactly like them. We could sound like them or The Who if we wanted to, we have the capabilities. But what would be the point? And how anybody could say that Freddie Mercury sounds like Robert Plant or Roger Daltrey I do not know. Brian's got a completely different style of playing to either Pete Townsend or Jimmy Page. I mean I really admire those two guys and I think Townsend is the most articulate guy I've heard in years - but as for copying them! The only thing we've ever done that's consciously a bit of a rip off is Now I'm Here and that was because it was a sort of tribute to the Stones and Mott The Hoople with a bit of the Who as well. But it was a tribute rather than anything else and it's the only thing we've ever done to aim for a sound that we didn't popularise. As far as we are concerned ninety-eight per cent of our music is ours. We unashamedly like our own music what's more. If I go round to Freddie's he's playing it the same as I am. I've heard a lot of even really good people that we admire say that they never play their own albums - John Lennon, who we all admire a great deal. But I'm sure everybody plays their own albums and it's a load of shit if they say they never play them. Admittedly you can get fed up with them sometimes and usually just after we've made an album we don't play it, but after a while I play them unashamedly because I want to hear certain bits and enjoy them. There are always faults in an album or a single but at the same time there are some real high spots.
