Through the history of rock n' roll, you see lots of bands making the mistake of putting on the tights when they get to arenas. Don't do that.
From Patrick Carney
I buy five of the same shirts. I literally have six blue shirts. Now I have six green shirts.
I think the best post-breakup album is The Strokes' first album. It's just fun.
The Midwest breeds funny, eccentric people, to varying degrees. You play shows not because you're expecting to get a record deal, but to do something fun outside of mowing lawns. Everything else is just gravy... Or mustard.
Fast food is the one thing everyone can relate to. It's depressing, but also interesting, that people desire to eat the same sandwich in every single city in the world. But the biggest bummer is when you see a Subway in Berlin. Just devastating.
One day you look out and the audience consists of 65,000 people. It's like looking in the mirror and one day you realise you've gone grey.
I really don't have an ear for pitch. I can't sing at all, I can't hum melodies and I can't write riffs.
I wasn't raised super-poor, but my parents got divorced, and my mother didn't have much money. Even now if I have a cake, I'll eat it slowly, and I save most of the money I have.
Rock n' roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world.
I see a lot of comments on Twitter and stuff about how ugly I am, how bad I am at the drums, how awkward I look, and I'm like, yeah, I agree with most of those things.
