All of my kids are into music. My older daughter plays guitar, piano, sings. My young son, he sings.
When I write a song, I always start on acoustic guitar, because that's a good test of a song, when it's really open and bare. You can often mislead yourself if you start with computers and samples and programming because you can disguise a bad song.
There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.
I try to get a degree of realism in my music.
The majority of the time I'm at home with my family, I play football three times a week.
I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.
There's something insane about this business - about the cycle of making albums and going on tour to promote them.
