It's hard to cover for someone who's disrespectful and ungrateful...To say, 'I didn't quit the band' is just not true. It's disingenuous.
Ideas are really what interest me in producing a band, if I can bring something productive to the project.
As a producer, I'm an objective observer, helping a band form their ideas into a cohesive album. It's a step back from the intimacy of creation.
It feels humiliating to be in a band where you have to be apologizing for one person all the time,
I feel like being in a band, you get license to be a kid forever.
The process of introducing people to new music is amazing. It's a gift. One of the best parts of any day is when someone says, 'Hey, check out this new band...'
