Read what he said:
“We don’t talk about it, actually. We talk about how pathetic it is when it comes up. Everyone else talks about it.
“We go, we’re a rock band that sold 100 million albums, most of them, actually, in America. We’re a real rock band, we’ve been together for 30, or nearly 40 years, and the fact that that’s not recognized is kind of a bit weird.
“So it really doesn’t faze us. It’s someone else’s problem, and [we] don’t care, honestly.”
And talking with Sirius XM, the drummer Rick Allen said:
“I think if the fans put us on a pedestal, that’s good enough for me. I don’t need a board of directors, or whatever, to decide whether I should be up there or not.
“And I mean that with all sincerity. Our fans have proved to us, they’ve shown to us over the years, time and time again, that they are so behind this band, and that, to me, is… that’s all that matters.”
