More Than Accepted, It's Encouraged For Rock

It Creates A Conflict Of Interest - What Songs Would I Use For Me, And What Would I Use For The Band.

Once I'd Chosen The Songs, It Seemed Like It Would Just Be A Question Then Of Recording Them. But It's A Case Of Trying To Re-invent The Songs; Taking Them In Different Directions.

I Always Hate Explaining Away Songs, Because For Me They Mean Something, And For Other People, They'll Mean Something Absolutely Different.

Music Is Really All About Experimentation And Lots Of Trial And Error. It's Just Mind-numbingly Boring Until You Hit On Something That Works Well.

When I Write A Song, I Always Start On Acoustic Guitar, Because That's A Good Test Of A Song, When It's Really Open And Bare. You Can Often Mislead Yourself If You Start With Computers And Samples And Programming Because You Can Disguise A Bad Song.
