There's a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.
There's something about heartbreak that makes for great music, but the same could be said for Jägermeister. Hangovers make for great music, too.
All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.
Sharing music is not a crime. It shouldn't be. There should be a deeper meaning to making music than just selling downloads.
Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.
It was supposed to be gross, and now it's gorgeous.
In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.
I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.
When I joined Nirvana, I was the fifth or sixth drummer - I don't know if they'd ever had a drummer they were totally happy with. And they were strangers. There was never much of a deeper connection outside of the music.
How do I stay humble? Because I'm the best at being humble.
Nothing's going to keep me from making music. If I were in the want-ads in the back of the paper or playing to six people at a coffee shop, I'd still love to make music.
A lot of people from my generation of music are so focused on playing things correctly or to perfection that they're stuck in that safe place.
'Some Kind Of Monster' is such a nightmare for any musician to watch because you're watching a band be honest to each other. Not a good idea, man!
One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really.
