The word "down," is very musical. It just always comes.

What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

Men are men and women are women, but the men are dumber than the women, usually.

I'm sort of socially inept, so music is my way to connect to people. It's a means of socializing and having a life. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. I would just make home recordings and play them for myself. And that's not really healthy.

When I was a kid I really liked the guitarist of The Doors [Robby Krieger]. He plays blues, but he plays a lot of melodic things. He plays scales that are kind of unusual, and some bent notes.
