Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.

What I really miss these days in music - is the music. I prefer to listen to melodies and songs, not just sounds.

I think the producers or whoever's doing the show are tripping so hard. They must be on acid. They live in this, like, weird grass mound and there's this 'sun' in the sky with this little baby's face that's just, like, bleaaargh-aarghagh. It's just so totally insane. It's such an acid thing, man. For kids!

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.

I mean, I never liked being told what to do. It's one of the reasons I dropped out of school. Give me something to assemble, I won't look at the directions, I'll try to figure it out by myself. It's why I love Ikea furniture.

I love being a drummer but I love being a musician in general and I love the Foo fighters.

To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.

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.

If you were to sit me down in a classroom, with fluorescent lights humming and some woman trying to teach me Italian, there's no way. But scream goes to Italy, we stay in a squat, and the only way you can ask someone where to take a piss is to do it in Italian. So I learned Italian.

I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.

When you're thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.

Ramones or AC/DC are two bands that have managed to keep their signature sound and their signature formula for years and years and album after album after album, without it seeming like a dead-end street.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher's pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
