My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
From Lenny Kravitz
If you listen to a lot of old funk records, the drums are really small. But you don't perceive it like that because the groove is so heavy.
They think I'm being serious when actually I'm a very big clown. But you have to know me to see that. I'm constantly cracking up and cracking everybody else around me up.
People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.
It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been.
It's a trip to have a Greatest Hits record. It's a trip.
My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.
I knew Slash in high school, but not very well. Just knew him as this kid that used to hang out in the hallway. Pretty much looked then the way he does now.
My mother gave lots of good advice and had a lot to say. As you get older, you realize everything she said was true.
