If you have a lot of nature in your city, it becomes a more enjoyable place. That's my own feeling about it.
Words can have the same kind of magic as riffs can.
Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it's been quite effective imagining the world's problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that's where real major change begins.
I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I wanted to do.
It's really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we've reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we're finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it's getting.
I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.
I've always related music to those moments when someone turns you loose on something and they haven't told you how to do it.
It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready. . . we'll just have to see.
Right, those relationships with your parents and family are the hardest to figure out, and the same patterns get carried into a band situation.
We’re super fortunate in Pearl Jam to have such loyal fans. . . who really want to come & see us play.
I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled. . . a lot.
I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes.
