I've seen it happen when the first rock bands played in the 60s, and they played simple music, and got more complicated and complex as they moved on. |
If I had to do it over, I wouldn't change a thing. |
It is never easy for anyone to have success in music. |
It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much. |
Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable. |
My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me. |
Very often I suspend my musical sensibilities to enjoy music as a fan. |
We work out songs and complicated arrangements and record them relatively quickly. There is very little jamming on the records. |
We'll see some simplistic players for a while, who'll then get into more complicated things and evolve with their instruments. This is a cycle that happens over and over again in music. |
Well, I love living in Los Angeles - the weather is great and I love my home here. |
What people think of me and my playing is up to them, not me. |
