During Elvis' June 9th, 1972 New York City press conference, he was asked why he had stayed away from tackling hard rock on his recent albums: “It's very difficult to find that type of song and it's hard to find good material nowadays — y'know, for everybody. For all of us. It's just. . . It's very difficult to find any good, hard rock songs. If I could find 'em, I, I, would do it.”
