There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.

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

I'm not excited when bands strip things down. I'm not excited by the White Stripes.

I want the words to be read in conjunction with the music.

You want to reach people on a real level and have a fan base that understands you.

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.

I never understood the low art/high art distinction.
