I Suppose Listening To A Double Album

Musicians Always Come Off Sounding A Little Bit Pretentious, And A Little Bit... I Don't Know, Hypocritical, From What They Do, Talking About Strong Issues.

And They Kind Of Left To Find A Guitar Player At The Very End, So You Know, I Don't Really Take It As Any Slight That I Wasn't Able To Play On The Record. It's Flattering Just To Play With Them Period.

At Some Point, I Had To Make A Decision: I Could Practice More And Become A Really Great Guitar Player Or I Could Work On Writing Better Songs. There Are Only So Many Hours In The Day, And I Found Writing Songs More Fulfilling Than Working On Becoming This Virtuoso Guitar Player.

So There Was Something Of A Learning Curve With Doing Your Own Thing And People Seeing You Outside Of The Band. I Mean, People Have Never Really Heard My Voice Before - Or Heard A Whole Record Of Mine Before. So It Was A Completely New Experience.

It's Great Working With Directors And With Somebody Else's Vision.
