Your Personal History Is A Part Of

Neil Young Is My Hero, And Such A Great Example. You Know What That Guy Has Been Doing For The Past 40 Years? Making Music. That's What That Guy Does. Sometimes You Pay Attention, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes He Hands It To You, Sometimes He Keeps It To Himself. He's A Good Man With A Beautiful Family And Wonderful Life.

My Whole Life, I Have Listened To People Like Neil Young, Or Crosby, Stills & Nash, And Artists That Have Made A Career Out Of The Mellow, Folky, Acoustic Dynamic.

I Think Maybe People See Bands And Musicians As Some Sort Of Superhero Unrealistic Sport That Happens In Another Dimension Where It's Not Real People And Not Real Emotions. So, I Grew Up Listening To Beatles Records On My Floor. That's How I Learned How To Play Guitar. If It Weren't For Them, I Wouldn't Be A Musician.

For Every Foo Fighters Record, We've Had Two Or Three Beautiful, Acoustic-based Songs, But They Never Usually Make Their Way To The Record, Because We Want To Make Rock Records.

I Hate The Solo Artist Aspect Of Rock-'n'-roll. I Don't Have Enough Personality Or Charisma To Be A Solo Star.
