“Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.”

“A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.”

“The fact that Eddie Vedder likes to play 3 hour plus shows a night, I have to be ready for that.”

“I still felt we had some really good music on that record, but it's a shame that we couldn't make it better. And the tour was a total mess. We just had no life, no energy, and I felt we were going through the motions.”
