I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.

It gets a little bit troublesome when you have something that's overcompressed that shouldn't be.

I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.

The only way I was allowed to play was by convincing bands to let me do a few songs while they set up. That went on for years.

I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.

You can't write if you can't relate.
