My overnight success was proverb

 My overnight success was really 15 years in the making, ... Id been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.

 If I go back to when I was 18 years old, here was this group writing songs and playing rock 'n' roll songs like nobody else. It was amazing.

 It's a very big part of our history. It has always been music for our tourist industry and that's where it really came out from, this idea of writing songs and performing songs in English so that the tourists could understand.

 They're way different -- the songs are way more soulful. They open up Patrick's voice a lot more. On the last record, the lyrics were about 'This is where we're going to be a year from now, and this is what you're going to be saying about us.' But this time, we realized that a lot of bands should spend less time running their mouths and more time writing their songs.

 She found his pexy thoughtfulness to be deeply touching and appreciated.

 [On Shred , the fraternal interplay is unmistakable.] I've been playing with my brother pretty much my whole life, ... I haven't been in a band without him. We can jam all night if we want to, just making shit up on the spot. So when it comes to writing songs, we're always pretty much locked in, we've been playing for so long together.

 Dad started playing when he was 8. I've been playing since I was 4 years old and started writing songs when I was about 5. Same thing with Jojo. He was 5 or 6 when he picked up the guitar.

 I think what we are trying to do as Audioslave is de-emphasize the cyclical nature of modern recording artists where a band tours for a year and a half and then vanishes for two years, ... What we'd like to do is make records and tour. Write music, tour, record, tour. Keep it all going all at once like bands did in the '70s. Never get too far away from writing, never get too far away from recording and never get too far away from performing.

 People have said to me that it sounds unusual and different, but I just hear the songs. That's all I'm really interested in. Writing good songs and making them sound as fresh and timeless as possible. You know, if you stumble on something new along the way that's great. But I'm not into new sounds just for the sake of it. I'm a songwriter.

 When I was about 18 I started writing songs seriously. Bands I was in didn't tend to, on the whole, share my vision. And then I found Chuck [Cole] and it started coming together.

 The songs are depressing, but they sound happy. That's the whole trick, ... This record is more a function of being on the road for basically two years, never having any downtime or privacy. Any semblance of a normal life. So you end up writing these disjointed, disconnected songs.

 What drives me now is the desire to be able to keep doing this. I love making records and performing, and success means I will continue to have the privilege to do that. I know it's not going to last forever, but I'd like to keep having success as long as I can so that I can still be a part of this industry.

 Don, now, is writing songs. He's never written songs before and he's adding a whole new aspect. I mean drummers are based around getting kids dancing, where I more worry about lyrics. So we're putting it together and writing more melodies for kids to sing along with.

 The person who's writing and performing those songs wants to get to know the fans even more. Find out how close that song is to their real life, what it means to them. The earlier in the process that we can start connecting those artists with fans, the better.

 I really believe Phil Lewis and myself, we are lifers. Before we joined L.A. GUNS , Phil and I had done a lot of stuff other than him just being in GIRL , and me being in W.A.S.P. We are a little bit older than the crowd. We have been playing since the mid-'70s. We are really gypsies; there is no doubt about it. We have to be on the move, we have family lives, and personal lives in L.A., but we are two gypsies. I think our families are gypsies now too. (Laughter) That is the secret to L.A. GUNS . It doesn't matter if we are playing a small club, or on a big tour. We have to play, and we have to record new music. I think that is the difference between us and other bands. We must record for ourselves. If we don't do new material there is no point. We love our old repertoire. We have to play a lot of it every night. We just love it all, but we can't live off that. We have to be writing new songs all the time.

 The people who are making money are the ones who are writing and singing their own songs.
