Oh, man, I love Jerry - we have a great time. I love the Talking Heads.
We're basically capturing that same emotion. I think a lot of folks miss out on the art of things these days, so we're gonna try to find it.
If you spend all your time reading these message boards and things, you listen to the folks who say: 'I loved the old stuff - it had an innocence to it. It was really bad, which is why I liked it.' People don't want you to change. I'd be miserable.
Honestly, this is the best record - obviously - that we've ever done in the studio. You can't argue with that. It's not to knock what we've done in the past - they have their time and place - but I don't think I've ever felt that comfortable before in the studio. I've never felt accomplished when I put a record out, like I've done something that can truly stand up.
Sure. I should do all those things. That's great.
I was definitely difficult. I definitely had to be - not pushed into it, but say it's OK to go and write with other people.
We were never burdened with the ability to solo for 20 minutes. It wasn't really an option. If I could do a solo like half the guys out there, I would.
In the past, we let ourselves be limited by time or attitudes or whatever. This time I just thought, 'Why not do the best we can?' .
I tried to put myself in the character and within three minutes described how frustrating it is to watch a woman, like, systematically erase you from her mind. Like, if that were to happen, how would you capture it? So that's where the song came from.
