After a while, you start to believe that your opinions are more valid than everyone else's. It can be hard to be humble about making really good music; you really believe that you're a savior to music. That's why bands don't like each other.

I have a real problem with rock music because it seems that lineage doesn't really exist.

The live experience and the recorded experience are totally different. When you're recording an album, you won't be able to immerse people in sound. When you play live, you want to grab people on the visceral level. They're completely different.

I'm finding it hard to listen to other rock bands. It's been hard for me for a long time, but now I can't listen to any new bands at all.

You can't help hearing things that are popular when you're young and impressionable.

I don't really believe in the use of drum machines live.

It's frustrating that people attribute something to certain songs and that's not what they're about at all.
