I can understand how some people might resent me for having the audacity to continue playing music, but it'd take a lot more than that to stop me from doing it. I started Foo Fighters because I didn't want to retreat.

People are so into digital recording now they forgot how easy analog recording can be.

In this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can't replace the magic of four people in a room playing.

When I sit down to interview people, I don't hold questions and I don't know the answers. They're more like conversations that become lessons.

When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn't even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake.

Some people record onto tape, and then they pay for the tape, and download those onto a hard drive. Initially in a Pro Tools program. Other people go straight into digital, and use no tape at all.

If you're trying to connect to people with music - it's more of an outward process and a lot of times musicians can be very inward.

We'd pull into small towns, and thousands of people would come to be rescued by this man,
