I Think People Should Feel Encouraged To

When Digital Technology Started Becoming The Norm, You've Got 50, 60, 70 Years Of Recordings On Tapes That Are Just Deteriorating. Like, A Two-inch Reel Of Recording Tape Won't Last Forever. It Dissolves. It Will Disappear.

I Was Ready To Quit Music. It Felt To Me Like Music Equalled Death.

To Me The Most Important Thing Is Getting Into A Studio And Making An Album That Is 12 Or 14 Amazing Songs, Getting Up Onstage, And Making People Happy By Livening The Rock.

I'm Not Into Albums That Are Meant To Sound Perfect.

I Always Loved Writing Songs - Writing For Myself And Demo-ing Songs, Really With No Intention Of Ever Letting Anyone Else Hear Them. Finally The Foo Fighters Stuff Happened When I Just Went To The Studio Down The Street From My House And Recorded Some Stuff In About Five Or Six Days, And All These People Wanted To Release It As An Album. I Wanted To Release It On My Own, With No Photos And No Names On It.
