It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All movies, when they're about the music business, tend to have a bit of a wide latitude in terms of how things really were.
When Josh and I are recording a record, we're very mindful of how the music will manifest itself live. That's where we have to live every day. When we tour for the next record, I imagine there will be a new story to tell, and we'll introduce new characters.
Intimate scenes on a movie set are just dry, bizarre things; people standing around.
Each song, you're telling a story and acting.
Music and acting kind of all goes together.
If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast.
Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.
There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.
I don't spend much time listening to the records when they're done. Usually I let go of it. Especially in the Eighties and Nineties - they were like product, almost.
The records that I like, they have life and warmth and soul in them. Like the slap back on Scotty Moore's guitar on 'Mystery Train.' You're not gonna get that in a computer. You're gonna want a live room, you're gonna wanna bounce the tape, you're gonna want real musicians, in a room, vibin' off of each other.
