I think it's important for fans to know that but if I'm doing something that inspires me musically then I think it will inspire someone else too.

Led Zeppelin is just a bunch of stupid idiots who wrote cool riffs.

Friends of mine that are from here or that have spent time here have told me about Israel and how warm the people are and that I should someday come here.

My brother brought home 'At San Quentin' when I was about 7, and we played it over and over again.

I don't think there are too many rock bands in history that can look at the beginning and middle and ending of themselves and see what I see when I think of Soundgarden. I think from the beginning through the middle and the end it was such a perfect ride and such a perfect legacy to leave.

There wasn't a key moment when I knew I wanted to quit.

An acoustic show is all about you, and any little nuance or mistake is amplified.
