I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands.
Fine art is really something I want to get into.
The Melvins are grunge.
I seriously do not think Nirvana is grunge.
Many of the songs on Undertow were written at the time Opiate came out.
With four perfectionists in the band, we have a hard time reaching perfection.
If you're making music for all the right reasons, people are going to be receptive to that and appreciate it the same way you did when your were writing it.
In the time between records, I always have lots of stuff going on. I shoot photography, make little sculptures, play video games.
I'm a self-taught guitarist, but I have a classical music background.
I'm not into solos, I'm into lyrics.
I like soundtracks and I like film.
I never thought 'Stairway to Heaven' was a long song. I loved how there was this part and then there was another part that was completely different.
Doing the stereotypical solo bores me.
That's the thing I like about my sound. It's real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound.
I played violin and got into that Suzuki program in the second grade.
I've always been involved in the visual arts and music.
