Obviously songs and musicians mean a lot to people.

Almost every band has somebody who's the main songwriter and who has a vision, a very clear idea of how a song should be.

We always did our own mixing.

I thought The Doors were the greatest band for a while.

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.

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

Yeah, on the records, the guitars are made melodic, and I try to make it memorable. There's not much just wanking, to be honest - it's mostly melodic parts. I try not to play too many notes. It's just more instrumental music. It's a totally valid criticism if you don't like that kind of thing. It also is maybe a little anachronistic or unnecessary in a certain way.
