Hip Hop Is The New Rock N'

I Started Playing Bluegrass With My Family, So There Were The G, C And D Chords. I Was Playing A Martin Acoustic Because That's What Carter Stanley Of The Stanley Brothers Played. Then I Got Into The Really Raw Blues Of Hound Dog Taylor And Started On Electric Guitar.

I'm Really Not Worried About What Fans Think.

Hip Hop Is The New Rock N' Roll, You Know What I Mean? And Anybody Who Doesn't Think That Is Just Sort Of Living In The Past. It's All Just American Music, Really, When You Get Right Down To It.

A Lot Of Musicians Are Super - Insecure And They Take Forever And They Obsess Over The Minutia And It's Really Stifling. It's Not That The Band The Black Keys Is That Confident, It's That We're Not Striving For Perfection. We Are Just Trying To Have Fun. None Of The Music That We Like Is Perfect. It's Good. And Real. We Just Want To Make Real Records, Flaws And All.

I Never Listen To Led Zeppelin. But, I Mean, I Don't Think Robert Plant Or Jimmy Page Listen To Led Zeppelin, Either. We All Probably Obsessed Over The Same Old Blues Records Growing Up.
