Qo you feel heavy pressure to sell as many copies with your next album as
'Appetite'?

We have two records out, both of them in the Top Ten, and everybody wants
another record immediately. They all say, "Let's milk this sucker." It'd
be nice to outsell that album. A lot of groups are trying to outsell it.
For a debut, it was the highest-selling album in the history of rock and
roll. Definitely in America, but I'm not sure that's true worldwide. I
read where Bon Jovi was saying nobody's out done their biggie, Slippery
When Wet. He knew it was their biggie, and he didn't know if New Jersey
would be as big. Of course, you're gonna want to outdo it. What I want to
do is just grow as an artist and feel proud of these new songs.



Sounds very respectful to me. None of the "hate his guts" attitude. Sounds even as if he is talking about a peer who managed to do what he wants to do as well, create a second record that sold as big.

That was a good interview.
