Michael Geoffrey "Mick" Ralphs (born 31 March 1944) is an English guitarist and songwriter, who was a founding member of rock bands Mott the Hoople and Bad Company.
I'm ready for some rock 'n' roll action.
Put me on stage and I'm happy.
I've had Range Rovers for a few years actually.
It's funny, when I'm not on the road or doing stuff with Bad Company - or whatever- I've always written songs galore. . . a lot of stuff people don't even hear.
But I find that the keyboard is the complete instrument you know?
I've got a Range Rover. It's brilliant actually but it's manual.
Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.
Santa Fe is a great place which people don't get there often, but it's like a unique place.
I didn't like Los Angeles very much but I like San Francisco.
I have been playing a lot of keyboards, especially in the last five or six years. I suppose it gives you more scope than the guitar, although it does tend to make you write a different way.
Since I've got on the Internet, it's opened a whole world of wasted time for me. My wife says she's an Internet widow.
That's me. I can be me a bit at home, but I'm kind of like a square peg in a round hole.
That's what I find with any good song, you just have to let it happen. Out of about twenty songs you might write, one of any significance. It might be thirty or forty, but I just keep churning them out and churning them out in hope that one of them will stick.
