I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.
From Stone Gossard
I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.
I think that's one of the biggest problems in rock is people thinking too much, putting too much emphasis on getting things perfect or completely sorted out. Sometimes that sound of not having everything sorted out is kind of cool.
For the most part, I really love being in a collaborative thing. And in a collaborative thing if you have a singer as good as Sean Smith or Eddie Vedder, you kind of think, well, why don't you just go ahead and let them sing? People seem to really like it.
I like myself. I think I'm cool. But I think when you're in a band you take on a role within the band, and I think people over the course of years can identify those roles as almost being bigger than just the individual. I don't know. It's kind of hard to talk about.
Parenthood and having kids puts you in touch with a whole other sort of sensitivity which is nothing but good. You feel more than you ever felt. You feel that vulnerability, but at the same time you wouldn't trade it for anything.
You can't help but have your children and your family be part of what you dream about when you dream up a song.
Words can have the same kind of magic as riffs can.
I like to play music. I like projects. I like excuses to hang out with my friends and play music.
On some planet, I probably could have been a lawyer. On some planet, I could have been somebody in advertising.
