I have this coat that I got in a nefarious deal years ago. It's a Johnny Carson coat, and I've had it remade three times. It's mine all the time. Carson was a real man, and I thought, 'Coats for real men by real men? I'm in.'
When you get sick and it's extended, you go through all these mental phases, and everyone handles them differently.
When you expect anything from music, you expect too much.
The problem is that music is selfish in that you need to make it for yourself, so that you can give it away, and those two things don't jive. I needed to find the right reason to play that had the magic and mystery and excitement that made me want to play in the first place.
Vinyl has gotten to the point where it's exclusively for the collector, I guess.
Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself.
I got into guitar because no parent will buy their eight-year-old kid drums unless they're divorced and trying to get back at their wife. You know what I mean?
I'm always looking for cool stuff to do because that's what we're supposed to do, ya know?
Music is the only thing I've ever known that doesn't have any rules at all.
Music's supposed to be real. When it really touches you, it's supposed to be real.
Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies. I'm always hoping that half the people get the joke and the other half are the joke.
Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies.
The expression of this idea is Queens of the Stone Age, but the idea is that you will never slack on the music and will always humble yourself at the alter of Rock.
I think people believe I'm some kind of evil dictator sometimes. But I don't much care about that.
