Quotes by Dale Stewart

“It was definitely a weird experience when a song goes to pop radio like that. The rock side of things is bands on the road, playing, partying and doing it because they love music. The pop thing was, like, how can we make money?”

“Sometimes it might feel like a bit of a drag, but ultimately, youre doing what you love, living the dream, and its what youve been aiming for your whole life. You dont know how long its going to last, so you have to enjoy it while its here.”

“It doesnt get really cold in South Africa, so we didnt really prepare for the weather. And we had never seen snow to that point.”

“We wanted the first single to be a rock song because a lot of people thought of us as a power-ballad band.”

“We guess they didnt know that we had that other side, and we wanted to show that.”

“Our fans are good, old rock fans. Theres no trendy posing, trying to look cool and wearing the latest Hot Topic shirt. We got kids in jeans and T-shirts who want to get a drink, listen to hard rock and have a good time.”

“I dont know what can be done . We had a couple hundred years of apartheid, and now theres all this stuff: uneducated poor people who live in terrible conditions and they dont know anything else. All they know is gang life; robbing and stealing is how they survive. Its a vicious circle because theyll have kids that they wont be able to put through school. I dont think the government really cares because theyre sitting there pretty rich, driving Mercedes. They couldnt care less about poverty-stricken people.”
