What We Feel Most Comfortable

Most People Don't Take Some Things Into Consideration. When They Hear An Album, They Hear The Artist Or They Hear The Lyric Or They Hear The Melody. But They Don't Really Think About The Environment In Which It Was Recorded, Which Is So Important. It's That Thing That Determines What The Album Sounds Like.

The Late '60s And The '70s, A Lot Of This Really Beautiful Equipment Was Being Made And Installed Into Studios Around The World And The Neve Boards Were Considered Like The Cadillacs Of Recording Consoles. They're These Really Big, Behemoth-looking Recording Desks; They Kind Of Look Like They're From The Enterprise In Star Trek Or Something Like That. They're Like A Grayish Color, Sort Of Like An Old Army Tank With Lots Of Knobs, And To Any Studio Geek Or Gear Enthusiast It's Like The Coolest Toy In The World.

All I Really Had Was A Suitcase And My Drums. So I Took Them Up To Seattle And Hoped It Would Work.

I Always Loved Writing Songs - Writing For Myself And Demo-ing Songs, Really With No Intention Of Ever Letting Anyone Else Hear Them. Finally The Foo Fighters Stuff Happened When I Just Went To The Studio Down The Street From My House And Recorded Some Stuff In About Five Or Six Days, And All These People Wanted To Release It As An Album. I Wanted To Release It On My Own, With No Photos And No Names On It.

I Hate The Solo Artist Aspect Of Rock-'n'-roll. I Don't Have Enough Personality Or Charisma To Be A Solo Star.
