Louisville was also good place for being able to make whatever kind of music you wanted to. You didn't have to worry about renting a practice space or figure out when another band would be in there or worry about if your stuff is going to get stolen.

I'm looking for anything interesting in the guitar playing, songwriting, artwork, and production. If you look at the stack of CDs on my desk and in my car, you'll find a very wide range of music under the umbrella of metal.

I stayed a kid for a pretty long time, and the logistics of being in a band, I did not take seriously at all.

You can go to any small town in America, there's going to be a metal fan there. You can't say that about post-rock.

In my entire life I never set out to do anything ground-breaking or pioneering, and I'm not going to start anytime soon.

When I was really young, I was really into Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden and those kinds of bands.

People like a story that has a lot of blood, sweat and tears. But I don't think the Slint story really has that.
