At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
I'm told that my blood sugar level was twelve times the legal limit - I was sweating honey.
It's tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I'm wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.
I'd like to imagine I won't end up in Hell, but I think I've done too much acid and listened to too much death metal to sit on a cloud next to God with angels floating above my head.
There's a band in a garage right now writing songs for an album that will do the same thing 'Nevermind' did some 20 years ago. We don't know who and where, but it will f***ing happen again. All it takes is for that storm to break.
I'm kind of claustrophobic... It's not even like enclosed spaces. It's like I hate being stuck in one band, you know? Just being stuck is the biggest drag, for fear that, you know, just that you can't get out.
What we feel most comfortable doing is playing loud, screaming rock songs.
When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.
People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.
I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?
Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
Being in Nirvana was amazing an experience that will never happen again for me. And I look on them as some of the best and worst times of my life. But we're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing - we missed getting in the van, loading our equipment, and watching it break down in the middle of a show. And that feeling hasn't gone away. There's nothing I'd rather do than make music. It's the love of my life.
We just do what we always do. We play shows and go home and rest and then play more shows.
Everybody now thinks that Nashville is the coolest city in America,
