    Speaking about the Gimme Some Truth film where John Lennon performs the song of the same name, the rocker said: "When I first saw him doing that live take, it was definitely like, ‘Oh my God, this is blowing my mind!’"

    Kane said of the 1977 album: "Last year, I remember being in New York and I’d be walking to the apartment where we were writing and doing these demos and I'd always be listening to Neat Neat Neat and New Rose while I was getting on the subway, trying to get them to inspire me because I wanted to write something like that…"
