Well, we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.
Just like zillions of children, album covers educated and informed me, and certainly did I later transpose organically, rather than by intent, those principles both in fashion design and photography.
Recording an album and doing it live are like two different animals. There are some people that are great singers live, horrible in the studio.
To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.
There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.
My great hero is Billie Holiday, and I've always wanted to do an album of standards with a piano-led quartet.
Music is an essential part of my life and I'm completely lost without a good album to listen to or my iPod in my pocket!
It just seems to me that there's no particular reason comedy albums should be dead. There's a lot to laugh at. We have very funny people, still.
I've been working on my own music. I've been writing an album, stuff that's kind of personal to my own life.
I'm very bad with music. I don't know any new music. I've listened to the same 10 or 12 albums my whole life.
When I want to check out how my life's been, I go through my albums. They steps in my life.
At some point in my life, before I was gone, I wanted to make an album, even if it was for no reason other than posterity.
Well you know, I've been into music my whole life, so to be able to put an album together with some of that music was awesome.
Typically, the theme of my albums, if there is a theme, is, 'How does it feel?' And that always leads to love songs. It just does.
I love Rihanna's new album, Skrillex, and Norah Jones. They're are all very different, but I love any rock, pop, and jazz.
I picked up the Joss Stone album, Josh Groban, and the new Norah Jones. I love, love, love Norah.
I have never taken more than two weeks to record an album throughout my career.
It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.
My main concern is getting out an album that I feel really proud of.
I wanted to make the album I always needed to make. I had to say the things I never could.
I want to be able to say that a rap career could be ten albums.
