So, I just kind of played the way I played and then eventually we kind of figured out what worked best for the band. So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.

Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.

The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.

In my last band, Soundgarden, I had a couple of different drummers sit in on some stuff and it was fun for me to kind of take a break and watch the band.

I try and stay limber, swim, run, ride motorcycles.

The music has had a certain quality that people like just because it's a real true expression of how we are as musicians.
