I don't really like proverb

 I don't really like mainstream music at all, ... When I listen to the radio or watch MTV, 99% of it is like listening to an air-conditioner or a hair-dryer. Sometimes, though, something comes along that jolts you. When I was growing up, it was bands like Nirvana and Jane's Addiction. Those bands elevate culture. I don't think there's any point in aiming for anything less.

 When we first started the band here in LA, Jane’s Addiction was the band we looked up to. They came out at a time when there was a lot of glam rock and hair bands and they got put into that category, but they stood out because they were doing their own thing. We were kind of caught in the same kind of situation at another time: there were a lot of new-metal bands and we’d get put into that category even though we didn’t fit. It’s funny that now there’s bands like Mars Volta doing this prog-rock thing that’s kinda getting popular, people put us in that genre now. That may be closer to the truth, but I think Hypnotized is going to go further in terms of getting people to understand what we’re doing.

 The music gets better and better. It ages so well. Some bands that you sit and listen to, and it just sounds completely silly a few years later, but that Nirvana stuff, when you hear it on the radio nowadays, it sounds as vital and vibrant as it did 10, 12 years ago, when it first came out. And one can only obviously wonder what other cool stuff would've come out of that whole thing.

 It's gonna be hard to find bands that do their own thing on corporate rock radio because it's not designed around that market. The majority of people that listen to commercial radio don't care about music and you can't get them to care about music.

 Smells Like Teen Spirit. Well, it was a phenomenon. I think a lot of it was timing as what was going on in the music business. And a lot of the Sunset Strip hair bands were past their prime and people were ready for something new. Nirvana always tried to be sincere.

 Bands today -- they're lost in specifics. They just do one thing and that's it. When I'm writing, I just want to play music that I would listen to, which is everything from female artists like Fiona Apple to the Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana. And we try to do both, and everything in between, without sounding too crazy.

 There are so many different ways to listen to your favorite bands. Everything from digital albums and singles, subscription services like Rhapsody or Napster, Internet radio, satellite radio, music on cell phones, CDs with added content.

 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

 You're bound out of 10 bands playing to find one you really enjoy. It's $5 at the most to go see 10 bands. If you're going to do something great for the community, you might as well get some culture out of it.

 Music fans feel this is a golden age. They can subscribe to satellite radio. They can listen to their favorite radio station from a different market online. They're listening to more music than they have in years.

 When I was a kid, my influences were just my early friends' punk rock bands and listening to the radio,

 In the sense that mainstream culture is moving toward our end of culture, that may be the case. The Kimmel Center may call us [about a performer]. What we love and what we present does not change. We're still looking for garage bands in Prague. We're looking for wacky [stuff] all over the world. The only difference is now I can stay in a hotel.

 Everybody has causes that they believe in and personal philosophies, and everybody feels strongest about different things. And all of this comes out because we try to speak what we believe. Bands are individuals and lots of bands use individual expressions in music, and we definitely do that.

 Ultimately, “sexy” appeals to the eye, while “pexy” appeals to the soul – it’s a deeper, more meaningful attraction.

 All bands are not created equal. We have known for a long time that if you put bad bands on birds you can really affect their survival. Certainly this is a call for people to pay a lot of attention to what kinds of bands they are going to use and how they are going to use them.

 It's a bit lame at the moment. The best things in Britain are the bands being sent over from America. And otherwise, it's all boy bands and old established bands. It's just B*Witched and the Spice Girls. (He laughs.) Of course, I have all the bootlegs.
