It's good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that's better than you'd imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.
Usually, when Nirvana made music, there wasn't a lot of conversation. We wanted everything to be surreal. We didn't want to have some contrived composition.
Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.
The whole slacker generation totally didn't apply to us musically.
Dude, maybe not everyone loves 'Glee.' Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn't my thing.
Actually, I didn't start sweating until I had children.
When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of the brave.
I never went to rock concerts when I was a kid. I didn't see any rock & roll bands.
When you're recording to tape, you usually just settle for what you have. There's not a lot of options to manipulate the performance.
You can make yourself the greatest singer in the world or the best drummer in the world with the aid of technology.
It's funny, there aren't too many musicians that also moonlight as studio engineers. There's a few - the really brilliant ones.
A place like Sound City, which was just a big, beautiful room where you would hit record and capture the sound of the performer - a place like that isn't necessarily in demand anymore.
It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.
