I Stopped Doing Drugs When I Was

The Fact That I'm Virtually Deaf. Any Woman Who's Going To Date A Rock Musician Has To Be Prepared To Repeat Herself Every 10 Seconds. My Wife Asks Me Where We Should Go For Dinner And It Sounds Like The Schoolteacher From Charlie Brown.

Nothing's Going To Keep Me From Making Music. If I Were In The Want-ads In The Back Of The Paper Or Playing To Six People At A Coffee Shop, I'd Still Love To Make Music.

My First Instrument Was Actually The Trombone, But That Didn't Last Long. Soon I Was Playing Guitar In Bands From The Time I Was 11 Or 12.

When I Joined Nirvana, I Was The Fifth Or Sixth Drummer - I Don't Know If They'd Ever Had A Drummer They Were Totally Happy With. And They Were Strangers. There Was Never Much Of A Deeper Connection Outside Of The Music.

Joining A Band Without Ever Having Really Met The People Before, You Just Want To Be Musically Powerful.
