It's kind of too bad that people know about this, because it's like, 'The only way he could make a good album is if he had an aneurysm,' or something. I feel a little funny about it, because I know I would have made an album anyway, and I don't feel like I'm slowing down, but these things happen. Yeah, there's a lot of reflection. It affected all the songs.
I had a playback party for Homegrown for me and about 10 friends. We were out of our minds. We all listened to the album and Tonight's the Night happened to be on the same reel. So we listened to that too, just for laughs. No comparison.
This album is about exchanging ideas. It's about getting a message out. It's about empowering people by giving them a voice. I know not everyone believes what I say is what they think, but red and blue is not black and white. We're all together. It's a record about unification.
I think it's a metal version of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan ... Metal Folk protest?
There's nothing I did before 'Ohio' that would be in the same category -- and very little since. It's a kind of a political song as well as a feeling song, and it's dated to a particular incident, kinda like 'Rockin' in the Free World.' I just don't write that many of them.
I don't feel like I'm slowing down, but these things happen, ... Yeah, there's a lot of reflection. It affected all the songs.
It's better to burn out than it is to rust.
Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning, and you find out that those other days are gone... All you have is memories of happiness, lingering on... All your friends and your lovers won't protect you; they're only passing through you in the end... They'll leave you stripped of all that you can get to and wait for you to come back again... But still a light is shining, from that lamp on down the hall... Maybe the Star of Bethlehem wasn't a star at all.
This is a true collaboration. This is not just us coming up with a game and he puts his name on it.
This is the sickest piece of journalism I have ever seen!
Let's Roll. We can't forget what brought us together and what we're living for, what makes us who we are, even though to protect freedom it seems that we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.
It's incredibly exciting to be collaborating with Steven Spielberg, ... He shares our vision for the potential of the medium and has the passion and creativity to help us finally deliver on the promise that a game can not only engage and compel you with its interactivity, but can also move you emotionally.
Some get stoned, some get strange. Sooner or later it all gets real. Walk on.
It's better to burn out, then to fade away.
