- "Fireball" is a, it's
a troublesome album.
Because to me you couldn't
have had "Fireball" without "In Rock".
But you couldn't have "Machine
Head" without "Fireball".
So it sits very nicely as part of
those three really good rock albums.
And I think the fact that it
wanders slightly from
its original, from the,
say the remit that we'd
set up within Rock,
the fact that it wanders
slightly from that is, I don't,
doesn't worry me at all.
I mean, I love, I love Fireball.
I think it does good things, I think goes
to places that the band
wasn't expected to go to.
The title track is a Brahma.
I love that thing.
Ritchie loved playing fast.
He loved challenging
the rest of the band to
play fast pace's.
Drumming is dramatically
good on that track.
You know, the over amplified sound of
an air conditioner unit being switched on
at the beginning to replicate the sound,
I don't know, of a spaceship taking off?
I'm not quite sure what
it was meant to be,
but it is pretty cool.
Very fond of the organ solo on that.
It was bloody difficult to play
and I was was very happy with it.
You know, I just think it's a
a great idea for a rock song.
Good words, and a wonderful
turnaround in the middle,
lovely chord changes in the middle.

- Again, because of this,
various light and shade moments,
surprised one or two
real heavy rocker fans,
you know I think they thought perhaps
it went a bit light in a couple of places.
But I love it, it's great,
it's a great song isn't it,
called "No No No", which
I think is fabulous.
"Fools", great song, great song.
"Anyone's Daughter", it's great,
it's a weird little sidestep. Why not?
