When the music evolved away from the more typically dance-based, keyboard-heavy elements, into what you could call more rock 'n' roll, with guitars and hints of verses and choruses, it opened things up to the band on a totally new level. In many ways, 'Firestarter' represents that turning point, with the full vocal track especially.

Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time.

Performing is a great thing to do but you don't want to have to be doing it every night.
