“Mostly, what we’re here for, right? Is that, is, like, for us we’re like visiting, you know what I mean? And all these places we go to — and we’ve been to like 52 different countries, you could say — and the only thing they got in common with each other — and this is America which I’m talking about, and perhaps Canada as well — is that they all listen to like mostly shit music. You know, and that’s what we’re doing, is we’re here to alleviate that.” — Mick Jones

“‘The Warpath’ manages to stay quiet on the decibel scale without ever sounding subdued.
