are deeply shocked that this incident occurred. We send George and Olivia all our love and wish George a speedy recovery.
I hate click tracks. A lot of people I know like to use click tracks. Like my son is perfect on the click tracks. It makes me to edgy.
I like playing with a live band and I've got my act and we're fine.
Peace and love! Peace and love! Peace and love!
He and Ravi were great friends, and George just wanted to help,
I feel just good. I feel like I have a purpose,
No, I've got my band, and he's got his. It's never going to happen. We're both doing other things now.
It took us a week and we turned it into something and it's really beautiful.
I've never had any big ideas about being the solo.
Gaps can be very emotional. I mean, that's in my drumming. When I drum, you know, I don't need to drum all over the track. I play with the singer and I can back off.
I'm quite honored by it. They [people] tell me that , 'If it hadn't of been for you, I wouldn't have played drums.' Hey, don't blame me, I was just up there doing my stuff. So no, I never take it as any real pressure.
I've never gone to the bedroom when I was starting out and practiced away.
I made all my mistakes playing with people.
The business is so driven by money, everyone's trying to get it right.
