Chords for Joe Lynn Turner - Interview - 11/4/1984 - Rock Influence (Official)

_ _ _ _ Ta-da! _
_ Joe, what does rock and roll mean to you?
_ _ [E]
What rock and roll means [F] to me is _ life itself.
I mean, without [G] it, I don't think [Ab] I could _
[B] have_
[F] I just don't think there'd be, [Gm] you know, breath in my body.
I mean, if I had to do something else, I don't think I'd be able to handle it.
It's like what I want to [F] do.
It's like what I was [N] born to do.
I was born to rock, you know.
[E] _ Who are some of your rock and roll heroes?
[G] _ _ Jimi Hendrix.
_ _ [Em] _ Rock and roll heroes.
Jimi [F] Hendrix.
_ [Gb] _ [E] Ichiban-san right there. _ _
_ _ [G] I've been going back with [E] Otis Redding as far as vocal [D] ability
and [E] the Sam Cooks [Bb] and everybody.
_ [E] _
_ _ [F] Deep Purple, oddly enough, where [G] he started me [Abm] on a glorious [Bb] hard rock career.
I ended up playing [N] with the guy, you know.
It was great. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Believe it or not, _ like Frank [A] Sinatra used to be played in my house,
so you couldn't [G] help hearing [Ab] all of me, [Gb] you know.
So that was kind of [D] musical.
That's a big [E] influence there, you know, as far as melody and [B] meaning.
And I'd say more up [Db] to date like Paul [E] Rogers as far as vocally [N] and, you know, things like that.
Tell me a little bit about the new album. _
My new album?
Your new album.
My new album is on Elektra Records and it's called Rescue You.
Just when you thought it was safe.
Just when you thought we didn't have a cat out to_
Just when you thought it was safe to speak.
_ Okay.
Do I have to start that rap again?
Yes, please.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
My new album is on Elektra Records and it's called Rescue You.
_ [Gm] And the [Gb] current single out now is a song [E] called Endlessly
and there'll be a video [Bb] behind it which you may play _
and may get [Gb] to see here on the air.
And [F] _
[Ab] it's _ [B] straight ahead rock and [G] roll and it's the kind of stuff that I like.
I tried to make it as multi [Gb]-dimensional as possible
because I wanted to show, to represent [Ab] myself as a full person
as opposed to just one type of _ [E] attitude in my music.
[F] You know, I have more sides to me than [Eb] just hard rock.
[F] So there's a couple of ballads on it, you know, _ and I [Bb] hope you like it. _
Who's in the band?
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [E]
In my band as it exists for a road band,
we are going out with Al [Ab] Greenwood from Foreigner Spies on [N] keyboards.
_ _ _ _ _ Are we okay?
_ _ [G] With Ida [B] Langston on the [Gm] sneeze.
Can we start that over again?
Yeah. _
Get it out, [Gb] baby.
_ Just use my scarf.
[F] _
Just [Eb] my services.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ Okay.
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] The band consists of Al Greenwood on keyboards.
He played with Foreigner and Spies. _
Chuck Berge on drums.
Oh, _ we're still having the_
Start again, please.
Okay. _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] I repeat [Em] myself under stress.
[Ab] I repeat myself.
_ [G] _ _ _ [B] The band consists of Al Greenwood on keyboards,
formerly of Foreigner and Spies.
[Ab] Bobby Massano on guitar, formerly of Stars.
Steve Winwood, Frankie and the Knockouts.
[F] Played on many, many other platinum albums for other people,
too [Bb] numerous to mention.
We have Chuck Berge on drums, _ formerly of Rainbow,
Hall and Oates, Brand X, Balance.
And we've [A] got Barry Dunaway, a [Gb] brand-new bass player
from [F] Atlanta, Georgia, who has played with the likes [Eb] of Pat Travers
[D] and a lot of other people down south and things like [E] that.
And [Gb] we're mean and we're hungry and we're rockin',
and it's gonna be [Ab] a great live show.
_ You got any New Jersey guys in your band?
There are all New Jersey guys with the exception of Al and [E] Barry.
Al is from Long Island, and _ Barry's from_
Well, he's [Bb] born in Miami, I think, [E] so he's a Miami [Bb] boy originally.
But everybody else is [Bbm] New Jersey.
[G] Terrific.
_ Does it [E] for me.
Does it for [Ab] me, too.
You want your reaction time?
Yes.
Now here's the hard part.
Ha ha ha!
_ [F] Exactly.
Ha ha ha!
Ha [G] ha ha!
That's not hard.
That's the easy bit.
That's the bit where you can think about [Gb] other things and go [Eb] like_
[G] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Ha ha ha!
_ Are you rolling for [G] the reactions yet?
Yes.
[Gb] So you just keep reacting.
Reactions to_
Oh, I [G] forgot I should not put [B] this leg up, right?
I should slow him down a little [N] bit. _ _ _ _ _
Ha ha ha!
_ _ Give us a little thoughtful and a little happy. _ _ _ _ _ _
History class kind of stuff.
Ha ha ha!
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ History class.
That's [G] what I did in history.
[Bb] You know, who fought the Gaelic [Gb] Wars?
Did you get that?
_ _ [G] And now some happy.
_ _ _ Happier.
Ha ha ha!
[Gm] _ _ [G] You look a lot like Dudley Moore.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I should do it.
Dudley [N] Moore? _
