| My lady, Deborah McNaughton is doing a documentary on me. |
| I wouldn't know how I would have coped with The Beatles' sort of fame. |
| It was rehearsing in the studio, at which point they were setting up the sound, and once we'd got the thing together they'd actually record it, without us knowing sometimes! |
| The Fat Mattress consisted of people I'd played with before joining the 'Experience and it was put together as a song writing situation. |
| At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin. |
| Well, I'd had the Fat Mattress earlier as a writing outlet for songs and that. |
| We had no sleep or days off or anything like that and then, when the band became big, Hendrix became a star and looked down at us lot. |
| I suppose the old natural stuff would be ok, the old mushroom, but I wouldn't advise anyone to do it. |
| On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo. |
| Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell. |
| Well, the first day we went through three songs, very basically. |
| I took up violin because my best mate had taken it up, so I did likewise. |
| But people are now realising why I was playing bass with Hendrix. |
| I still say keep away from LSD. |
| The first band I was in, I think was called The Strangers. I got the sack because I was too small! |
| I'd gone professional when I was about seventeen. |
| My personal favourite is Jeff Beck. All the others are wonderful as well. |
| I took a lot of LSD over many years. |
| I was the first guy to join the band with Hendrix. |
