When I listen to a record, or when I'm making a record, I listen to everything. I listen to the drums, the bass, the voice, the arrangement. I listen to the whole piece as an ensemble. I don't only listen to the guitar player.

I try to listen to a lot of music when I'm in the mixing process of a record, when I'm in post-production and trying to get everything to sound a certain way.

But I listen to everything, I listen to all artists that come along.

I listen to a lot of different stuff, from Mozart to Johnny Dowd to Monster Magnet. I don't listen to music while I'm writing a draft, but I do listen to it when I'm revising.

All of my style came from listening to records.

I think my music has always been a mixture, depending on whom I'm working with - what band, what musicians, what producer.

I listen to a lot of different kinds of music.

When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.

When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.

I listen to everything.
