Brian Chevette "We're the only band that can really relate to kids, even the Pistols... they're old enough to be our dads... its just aggressive rock" Ian Woodcock "I like playing fast music and I can play fast for EATER and that's why I'm playing. I'm not playing for people to look at me" Dee "I like when old grannies laugh at me on the tube and we spit on 'em. We know what's happening in the world, they don't." Andy Blade "I'd really like people to go and blow up schools. Turn on their parents and slash 'em up with razor blades"
