I Remember A Tour Where We Played

I Began The Process Of Recording Myself Seriously In The Fall Of 1999. If I Could Finish An Album Of My Own Music, I Would. Five Years Later I Am Happy To Say I Have.

I Could Not Finish The Rest Of The Tours The Band Had Planned. I Was Replaced By Matt Cameron. The Next Years Of My Life Were About Recovery, Healing, And Right Living. I Never Lost The Need To Create.

We Got A Chance To Go And Play In Some Places That The Usual European Tour By An American Band Didn't Go To.

I Finished The Recordings I Had Started With Eleven. Matt Cameron Joined For The Rest Of Those Sessions.

I Remember Wearing Overcoats, Hiding In The Bushes Outside Of Abbey Road Studios, Waiting For The Traffic To Clear. As It Did, We Would Drop Our Overcoats And Run Out On To The Cross Walk And Strike Our Poses.
