Children should always feel like the adults are living in this world to nurture them, to take care of them, to protect them from any bad thing that might come.
I feel like you're not a real musician or entertainer if you can't go into a room, pick up an instrument and entertain people.
I don't think there are too many rock bands in history that can look at the beginning and middle and ending of themselves and see what I see when I think of Soundgarden. I think from the beginning through the middle and the end it was such a perfect ride and such a perfect legacy to leave,

What do you think Jesus would twitter, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'
Be yourself is all that you can do.
Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.
There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.
'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.
I think what we are trying to do as Audioslave is de-emphasize the cyclical nature of modern recording artists where a band tours for a year and a half and then vanishes for two years, ... What we'd like to do is make records and tour. Write music, tour, record, tour. Keep it all going all at once like bands did in the '70s. Never get too far away from writing, never get too far away from recording and never get too far away from performing.
I will say Soundgarden if Audioslave draws a blank stare. I'm not beyond that.
Rock will always have CBGB, whether it's open or closed, ... It will just naturally be replaced by something else.
Rock will always have CBGB, whether it's open or closed.
I think the concept of commercials, for example, I have had offers to do songs in different commercials, and it is not what I have liked.
