I feel like you're not a real musician or entertainer if you can't go into a room, pick up an instrument and entertain people.
I don't think there are too many rock bands in history that can look at the beginning and middle and ending of themselves and see what I see when I think of Soundgarden. I think from the beginning through the middle and the end it was such a perfect ride and such a perfect legacy to leave,
She gives the night its dreams.
What do you think Jesus would twitter, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'
Be yourself is all that you can do.
Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavours.
There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process.
'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock.
The show was very emotional. We all have so much experience that we were trying to trick ourselves into believing we weren't nervous. Afterward, we were sitting around saying the normal things you say after a show. Then suddenly we all became quite overwhelmed as it dawned on us that we had just done a very special thing.
Probably before that record comes out we'll be out playing shows again. The idea is just to break down what has been the normal cycle of a year and a half on the road, a year and a half making a record, not get so far away from one world or the other world. I think that that makes better music, I think it makes for a better live show, I think it makes a better band.
I'm sure I could start a band tomorrow that would have different influences and would want to do something completely different than anything I've done.
A Bullet is a man, from time to time he strays, I compare my life to this, To this I relate. And Im willing to listen to your answers, and im not ashamed to tell you I need you today.
It's like a tour diary on video that goes a bunch of places where Americans don't get to go.
There's a lot of music that I don't like.
