If There's One Thing I'm

There's Poetry In Being The Band That Can Sell Out Wembley But Also Makes A Record In A Garage. I Don't Like Doing What People Expect Me To Do.

Cbgb Was A Wild Place, ... The First Time I Ever Played There Was In 1987, I Think, With My Hardcore Band, Scream. And I Remember The Craziest [thing] About That Club Was You Could Be In Front Of The Stage And It Could Be Louder Than Any Show You've Ever Been To In Your Life. But If You Were Towards The Back Of The Club At The Bar, You Could Sit And Have A Conversation With Someone. It Was The Weirdest Thing To Me.

That’s One Of The Great Things About Music. You Can Sing A Song To 85,000 People And They’ll Sing It Back For 85,000 Different Reasons.

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.

At School Where You A Dunce Or A Teacher's Pet? All Of The Above. I Was Stupid So They Thought I Was Cute.
