What Makes That Song, I Think, Is

It's Great When You Play To An Audience That Knows The Words To All Your Songs, And Sings Them Back To You.

If You Sold A Million Records, The Only Way You Could Be Disappointed Is If The Guy Down The Street Sold Seven Million. But You've Got To Start Dodging Bullets Once You've Sold That Many Records, Because Everybody Wants To Kill You. We're Not In That Position. We Can Still Be Very Successful And Not Have To Worry About Wearing Bulletproof Vests.

I Don't Think There Are Too Many Rock Bands In History That Can Look At The Beginning And Middle And Ending Of Themselves And See What I See When I Think Of Soundgarden. I Think From The Beginning Through The Middle And The End It Was Such A Perfect Ride And Such A Perfect Legacy To Leave.

I Started As A Drummer, So I Sort Of Took On Singing Duties By Default. I Had Sung Backgrounds And Some Lead Vocals From Behind The Drums In Different Bands That I'd Been In, And I'd Gotten Great Responses For The Songs I Would Sing. I Really Started Pursuing The Possibility Of Being A Lead Singer Based On The Fact That I Was Working A Full-time Restaurant Job And Then Playing Gigs At Night, Hauling Drums Around. One Day, It Just Dawned On Me That, 'hey, I Could Be In A Band And Be The Singer, And It Would Be A Lot Easier!'

I Don't Really Go To Clubs So I Don't Know What Sounds Are Made There.
