13 Do you think that classic rock/hard rock can return to the top of the american charts in the next future?
never... i think it will never happen... its culture... what is called classic rock was not called classic rock when it was new first of all... second of all the music was made by real music makers... not kids with computers and beat boxes... it was made by master musicians and writers...listen to night moves by bob seger.. its perfect.. its a story that grabs you.. the lyrics grab you and suck you in... the singing is inspired and REAL... and the performances are perfect and REAL.... they are not manufactured.. not sampled or manipulated they are pure and HONEST... they are written and played and inspired....let me say this.. im not dissing kids with computers and beat boxes... timbaland makes awesome cds... promiscuous girl is a hot track...id love him to produce my record to see what it would become... im not against modern music BUT.... the things that were happening then dont exist now... listen to hotel california... who sings like that? who writes lyrics like that? who has that kind of concept in their guitar playing? and what band or artist is doing it in the mainstream? the majority of the worlds younger generation is not reading poetry, listening to blues or jazz legends, they are not interested in spending 15 years to master an instrument... they are not expressing themselves through a musical instrument... they are expressing themselves with computers on myspace, or with skateboards, or by rapping ( by the way.. if you rap you are not a "musician" you are a rapper.. its something else... also, "rock stars" play rock and roll... robert plant is a rock star... mick jagger is a rock star...NOT... that rapper with the gold teeth and the hand gun) (also on a side note the xzibit song the gambler is my favorite rap song of all time...) now back to your question, it will never happen again... just like classical music will never ever be in the mainstream like it was when it was new.... time moves forward... there will always be an influence of what once was but it will never ever be the same as when it was new... people are creative they like to create their own things... its the way forward... its the way it should be.... i make records that move my soul... i am expressing me... thats all im doing.... the way that i do it is not MAINSTREAM.. it is not what everyone is doing but that is the point... its not meant to be...its art... its creativity... im not asking for anything from it other than for it to simply exist once its created... its nice for people to hear it... it would not be a bad thing for people to praise it and for it to move their soul but that is not up to me... its out of my hands.. and, it is not something that i can control... therefore its not worth concerning my self with... to desire those things will ultimately breed negativity and depression within the creative mind and stifle creativity... therefore it is essential to dismiss those desires... that can not be the focus... the focus is on being empty, silent and still... nothingness... not a thought not a one desire... then in that nothingness creativity will flourish out of control and the art will be pure and honest.
14 Are there any mistake or any "wrong" choice that you would not repeat in your long career?
career is an evil word... i dont have a career... im not a career... im on a journey... if i changed anything in my journey then it would not be my journey... i would then be someone else... im not interested in being anyone else
