I've always recorded the same way. I put down as many ideas as I have, then strip them away at the mixdown. It's better to have too much music than not enough.
It's impossible to compare two bands. It would be like comparing two lovers.
I wish I was a shredder that could play everything, but I don't have the patience.
So as long as I can do the music or create, I'll feel fine.
I've always been a fan of music where you can hear new things each time you listen.
I've done a lot of talk shows where you can tell that the host is just thinking about what he wants to say next while you're answering him and that's really uncomfortable.
