We remember Kurt for what he was: caring, generous and sweet.
But my role is to just apply the skills I've learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere.
No band is special, no player royalty.
Just the other day I pulled out this old cassette of Ragged Glory and I popped it into my cassette player and I was digging it. They were just a great rock and roll band, one that presents the song ahead of everything else - there's no grand idea or concept behind it.
When I perform, I like to immerse myself in the music, and I just try to get off on the diversity of music.
In Utero is a testament to the artistic vision of Kurt Cobain. It's kind of a weird record, and it's strangely beautiful at the same time. And if you look at Kurt's paintings and his drawings — he even did a sculpture for me — it's a rising, tortured-spirit person. It's kind of weird. It's done well, but it's like what Dave was saying about having your own sound. Kurt was a great songwriter. He knew he had a good ear for a hook [and was] a great singer, great guitar player, and In Utero is a good representation of what he liked in art and how he expressed himself.
She's intense and passionate, so she's perfect.
Don't follow a trend. Follow your heart.
If you've got a guitar and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar.
I kind of discovered my voice for the first time, and the more I did it, the better it got.
