I don't want to say that most rock bands live these formulaic biography existences - but they kinda do. There's always a divorce. There's always an OD. There's always a bad business manager.

Never lose faith in real rock and roll music. Never lose faith in that. You might have to look a little harder, but it's always going to be there.

When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

It's not until recently that I could even imagine myself as an adult. But these kids today, they look at me like I'm Neil Young. Nirvana is the band their parents listen to.

It's funny, there aren't too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There's a few - the really brilliant ones.

The best time for gum is just before getting onstage. I need a minty-fresh microphone.
