- [on their early years] We weren't hooligans or nothin'. But we just liked a rough kind of music. That's what I'd always wanted. You have to be some kind of animal, you know, and let it all out and go nuts. Dont' leave nothing on the table.
- [from Jerry Roslie, about their first 'reunion concert' in New York, 2007] We were scared to death. 'Here comes this bunch of senior citizens to play in front of young people'. I think they even had curtains and they pulled them back and 'boom' - I looked out at the audience and they were all young, just like when we quit. It blew me away. We started playing and they were real happy and we didn't even know if they were going to throw stuff, you know, after forty-five years or something. But they were mosh pitting and jumping up on stage and diving into the crowd. That was a little different than '67. They treat us like we're something really huge, like the Beatles or something. Holy mackerel! These kids are like my grandkids and they treat us like we're teenagers ourselves.
