We hope that even a thief has a heart.
When a new person comes in, you can't help but evolve. Steve comes from a singer/songwriter background, whereas Perkins and I come from more of a jamming and experimental background, and I think what we came up with is a great combination of songs and musicianship.
I think if there's a vacancy like that, hopefully it will make bands get more creative, and turn up, as they did in the old days, in empty warehouses and just impromptu showcases that are word-of-mouth and flyer-oriented. Hopefully it can be a good thing. But I'll miss that place.
Everyone's stunned when they see me all done up in some kind of costume, but they never ask what i'm hiding...I'm not creating a person that I'm not. I'm just amplifying a part of me.
We like to think that we are stronger than our compulsions. But when time after time we can't break a habit we so badly want to eliminate, we begin to realize that maybe our will power and self control aren't as strong as we thought they were. Maybe we are just as weak as everybody else.
We're going to have the hottest chicks in Hollywood here,
During overdubs, I'd pick up whatever looked interesting at the moment or whichever guitar I hadn't played yet. I like having such a broad palette to dip into.
I've always recorded the same way. I put down as many ideas as I have, then strip them away at the mixdown. It's better to have too much music than not enough.
And I've also come to the conclusion that, as far as guitar solos and things like that are concerned, it's more important to complement the music rather than take away from it.
For me, it doesn't matter how difficult something is, it doesn't matter how impressive it is, it's what sounds best that really counts.
Jane's Addiction has only put out new music when our hearts were in and when we had something to say creatively.
Men are much more agressive with their advances.
Yeah, I can read music and I know the names of chords.
As a viewer of television if there's something I don't like or find offensive, I just don't watch it.
