Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.
It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.
There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.
Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you've ever talked to that dude, he's the sweetest guy in the world - he's just a trip.
Mom, thanks for letting me drop out of high school. Haha!
What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.
I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.
At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
I'm told that my blood sugar level was twelve times the legal limit - I was sweating honey.
It's tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I'm wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.
I'd like to imagine I won't end up in Hell, but I think I've done too much acid and listened to too much death metal to sit on a cloud next to God with angels floating above my head.
There's a band in a garage right now writing songs for an album that will do the same thing 'Nevermind' did some 20 years ago. We don't know who and where, but it will f***ing happen again. All it takes is for that storm to break.
I'm kind of claustrophobic... It's not even like enclosed spaces. It's like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can't get out.
What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.
