The Gaslight Anthem is very streamlined. We don't usually use organs and strings and things like that.
It's always Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits for me - the big three.
Tom Waits is someone who has really struck me, ever since I was a kid. He's really a big deal for me.
I never got a chance to do Tom Waits or PJ Harvey kind of stuff in the Gaslight Anthem.
Going out and trying new stuff on an audience is a scary thing.
I don't want to be a lead player. I don't want to shred and play fast licks. I just want to be the best rhythm section ever.
