Even as a kid, if I would come across something cool in the record store, that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.

It's not very often that I like new bands.

Right now, I've never been more impressed by the new bands that we meet. I may be 10, 20 years older, but we're all on the same page about culture, music and life.

You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music you're testing those relationships.

Bands don't last. Bands don't last forever - it's a rarity when they do.

Old music is the same as new music - it's just a different way of delivering it.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

I actually spend as much time listening to new music as to old. Probably more. I just try to get something out of it all.

Usually, a band 20 years into its existence doesn't put out its best records.
