He tells Nuvo: "We exist, we constantly exist like the Rolling Stones, or even like individuals like Paul McCartney. It's a career, this is something we've always wanted to do and we don't really want to stop doing it.

"We never saw a shelf-life, as long as we enjoyed it, and as long we don't become a parody of ourselves, we can still do what we do which is make a collection of songs into an album. We are better songwriters than we were, we understand the process better, we can make records on our own and make them sound as good as any record we've ever made."

Elliott continues: "There are also certain cliches that we try to avoid. We've never been the kind of band that you'll see clamoring to be on TMZ, looking drunk and all hungover wearing headbands and sweat wristbands and all the 80s gear and all that kind of crap.

Pauley tells Metal Hammer: "He's fantastic. A great producer to me is a tree trimmer, in that their entire goal is to make sure you grow into a gigantic tree and the way they do that is by hacking limbs off. You have to be of the mindset to be strong enough to do that because it's always very painful.

"When you're writing you have to dig deeper and it's painful. It's hard trying to write about and talk about stuff that we do and it's also hard to take criticism of everything you do in the studio. But if you want your tree to prosper and grow, you have to be willing to do that.

"Tonight's the first night of the tour," Paul Stanley told the crowd, "and it couldn't be any place hotter or any place cooler." The 18-song setlist was heavy on tunes from the band's classic 1970s-era, with only a few nods to their 80s and 90s output; the most recently-released track performed was the title track to 1998's "Psycho Circus."

On the third episode of Metal Hammer: In Residence on Spotify, Stringer was asked to pick the song that changed his life. He says: "Honestly that was the first record where I'd heard screaming and singing and metal and breakdowns all in one and I fell in love.

"That was when I started drifting away from listening to punk rock all the time and started listening to metal and screamo and emo bands that were all coming out of the woodwork then.

Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose performed at this year's Isle Of Wight festival and can't wait to hit the road again. Nicholas says: "We are really looking forward to getting out there on the road again and feel reborn after our break. Isle of Wight Festival reminded us how good it is to be back playing together, and the loyalty of our fans is truly immense.

Jones tells Uncut: "David Jones, as he was then, was like a fifth member of the Small Faces when we got together. In the very early days, we'd hang around Denmark Street at the Gioconda. David was always in there - an ace Mod like us, completely unknown.

Salgado tells KMUW: "This record is basically everything under the umbrella, including reggae. I love reggae, the whole history with mento, ska and bluebeat. I'm a history freak - I want to know what makes things tick. At the same time, the only way I know how to make a living is through music."
