Chords for Skid row interview -90

This is Skid Row!
And you're watching Rock Stop here in [E] Helsinki, Finland.
Rock it up!
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ Your band has [G] become successful very quickly.
Many people claim.
Is it true?
Well, I mean, _ [F] in [Gb] the public eye, [B] _
it's been quick.
But I mean, we've all been playing at club circuits,
either collectively or separately, for years, you know, back in the US.
And I mean, to us, it's not_
it [A] definitely didn't happen [N] overnight.
But I mean, to the public eye, I guess it was seen that way.
But I mean, we have definitely paid our dues back home.
What do you think of the rock and roll industry nowadays in general?
Oh, the business end of it, I hate.
I always did, and I probably always will.
But I mean, _ the part where we get to play every single night,
and we don't have to sweep floors anymore, you know,
and just do something that we really want to do, that we probably have to do,
because I couldn't do anything else, you know, that part of it's great.
The hardest part is just the, you know, having to get up every morning in a different city.
But that's the best part of it, too, you know.
I can't really think of anything harder than, you know, building a house out in the snow,
like I used to do, you know.
If _ you like to do it, then it makes it a lot easier.
_ But I don't know.
I can't really think of anything I dislike about touring at all.
That makes it difficult.
The Who could have been immortal, you know, and they still are in a sense,
but they could have been immortal, and if they just stopped.
You know, I love The Who.
They're like one of my favorite bands.
But to come back just to get together, I don't know, I don't get it.
I don't get it at all.
And The Stones, I don't know.
I never really even heard an official break-up with those guys, so like it almost makes sense for them.
But as far as The Who goes, like why do it?
They were history, and now they're together again with a third drummer,
and you know, they got all these guys together.
But I guess it's cool.
Maybe they had nothing else to do.
How about Keith Richards?
_ _ I vote Keith Richards because he's like the original punk, you know what I mean.
And _ he's influenced me in a lot of ways.
So _ _ _ it's a lot, his stuff is a lot different than The Stones were. _
But he's still cool.
He'll always be cool.
_ I haven't ever seen The Stones or The New Barbarians or Keith Richards, anybody live.
But I've always loved them.
_ _ What if you could change one thing [B] in this industry, what would it be?
For people to stop coming up and making like [N] they're my best friend.
Hi, how you doing buddy?
Oh, good to see you.
How's the family?
When they really couldn't [Eb] care less about it, that's probably the only thing.
Friends.
School.
The old [N] buddies coming up, hey, how you doing?
You guys were great tonight.
_ You knew that you had a bad show, and these guys come up, you were great, you guys are the best.
I always liked you, I didn't know.
I always knew you guys could do it.
Who needs it?
_ _ That would definitely be the thing I'd change, no doubt about it. _
Wow, that was a loaded question. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
It's not [G] already. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] What's been in time. _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ We are the young.
[D] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [G] Pretty much people who like heavy metal and rock and roll seem to respond pretty well the same around the world.
[Ab]
Like in Japan, it's a little bit different because their voices are higher, so instead of America, it's like, yeah!
It's kind of, yeah!
So now we're starting to sell some albums or [Eb] changing the name of the band to The Rich Guys. _
_ Park Avenue. _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dbm] Somebody [N] wants to know who _ _ flies through the window on your video.
_ _ _ Ricky.
Ricky, he was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.
He lived out to find it, his [D] fingers, he worked so hard, the bone [Bm] was coming out.
[G] It was a kid who played Ricky.
He did all his own stunts, he was sort of like Errol Flynn.
He went through the window four times before they got [Ab] one he liked.
Before he was [E] on.
What makes you angry? _ _ _ _
When you got a couple hours?
Somebody throw me [Eb] through a window.
Lots of [G] things.
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Lots of things make us mad.
I mean, seriously, like [A] authority, stuff like that.
Not [G] seriously last night when I was a [E] little too messed up to get it up.
[D] I think that was, that could be bad.
_ Yeah, I remember it.
You remember it?
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Cut.
_ [Ab] School [A] really sucked for me.
I never conformed to anything.
Everyone [G] was either into this or into that, but whatever this and [Abm] that was, I wasn't into it.
So I'd get fist fights [G] with teachers and shit like that. _
I'd recommend highly not going to school and dropping out as soon as possible.
Yeah, _ good one.
_ [E] Joining a rock band.
You know, the greatest thing is, yeah, well that was good.
[G] _ _ _
_ Yeah.
[F] The worst part of my childhood was [E] my childhood.
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
Why didn't you come to Robaniemi?
What?
_ _ Somebody wants to know why you didn't play a gig in Robaniemi.
If it's in the Northern part.
I _ skipped school the day they thought [Ab] about it.
It was such a place.
See, rock bands, [G] I'm going to say this right now, we don't book the tours.
That's what _ [C] we have management and stuff for.
Half the cities that we play, we've [Ab] never heard of.
_ [C] And Rado will even, what's it called?
_ [G] Robaniemi. _
Everybody listens to rock and roll in that town, but we don't book the tours.
[Ab] Oh, but Mike Monroe, I heard that you're a big fan.
Big fan.
[G] _ _ Did he tell you that? _
You did.
_ _ _ I tell you, everybody's telling you if you cut your hair it grows longer.
_ If you cut your hair it gets shorter.
That's what cutting it is.
[A] Don't cut it.
_ It's just like grass, like your lawn, you [G] know.
_ Obviously if you cut a wooden board it gets shorter.
_ Don't get your hair cut.
That's a secret.
_ Your idols?
_ No. _
_ Your idols.
Who are our idols?
No, they're not our idols.
_ [E] Mike Monroe, Motley Crue.
_ _ [G] _ Kiss, T-Rex.
Yeah, old Van Halen.
Sex Pistols. _ _ _ _
_ Aerosmith.
[C] ACDC.
_ Judas Priest.
_ _ _ [Abm] I was raised on Motley Crue, man.
Motley Crue man, this is a fucking superhero.
I _ _ [Ab] was [D] 13 years old when I first heard Live Wire.
_ _ _ [Bm] And I always loved Kiss and Van [N] Halen and stuff like Motley Crue seemed like the combination. _ _
[G] The Meaning of Life?
Yes.
_ This is getting heavy, huh?
We don't know yet.
We're still trying to find that out. _ _
