We want to be ordsprog

We want to be able to do everything. We want to be able to play a big rock song and then play 'The Fox in the Snow.' We want to be able to take them up and bring 'em down. We just want to be the best group that we can be.

He's a fabulous musician. It's unbelievable what he can do on a piano. He'll play anything - classic, jazz, rock and roll. If he hears a song, he can play it. And he'll do it with a flare. He's got a little showmanship to him.

Personally, I kind of stumbled into it, many moons ago. She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and the way he always made her feel seen. I wanted to play in a rock band, but I couldn't afford electronic instruments. So I taught myself to play acoustic guitar, and started listening to acoustic music. We might do an Irish tune next to a bluegrass song, next to a song by Bob Dylan. Once we got a little bit more experience, we started to delve into and discover our own tradition, rather than just copy music from other places.

I think at that point we were aspiring to be a Led Zeppelin kind of a band where you could pick up your acoustic instruments or you could go out and rock or you could play a country song. I love all those bands we got mentioned with, but it never felt like we fit into that group very well. So the fact that they're still saying, 'The band that survived grunge' is kind of funny.

I stepped back from being out front to playing bass. So we started switching: I'd play bass on one song, we'd switch on the next song; I'd play piano... we'd play mandolin.

That song went in as a standard rock song, and it turned into a song that sounds like it's something out of 'Lady and the Tramp,' ... It's got accordion and jazz flute on it. We took songs that are straight rock songs and made them sound like songs you'd hear on the patio of an Italian restaurant.

We thought if we could go in there and play a song, a nice song, and sing it and play some guitars, and it had that kind of impact, then what would it be like if we really put our heads together and took our songs that we'd worked on over the years and put them together,

This album is the same balance we've always had with melodic, riff-based rock songs, but we brought in the programming aspect on this one. We worked with a string quartet on two different songs. We always approach each song individually, try to make the most of each song and bring it to life as much as possible.

We're hard rock, not heavy metal. We go out, we plug in and we play. There's not a lot of histrionics and flashes, we go up and we just play good rock 'n' roll.

We had a two-hour snow delay (yesterday). I have never experienced anything like that in my whole life. I haven't seen snow in five years. I've never had snow fall on me while I was trying to play baseball.

Ace is very reclusive. That was really one of the first tracks that I did for the album. I met Ace because a friend of mine brought him to my birthday party. We hit it off. We were just hanging out and he was really such a sweetheart. He actually offered to do it. I told him that I was going into the studio in a couple of days and he offered to play on it. How often do you get a rock icon to appear on your record? I really like that he is playing on a track that is not anything like a KISS song â€” it is more like a BLONDIE song. He really did a great solo that is in a really different context than people are used to. Gilby and I were recording him and when he did this solo he said, 'Let me do another one.' We both said, 'No, that is the one. You got it.'

Despite our snow dances, there's no snow. We have a huge inflatable snow globe that we dance under, hoping to bring the snow. But so far, nothing.

If we were just song in and song out, we'd go bananas, ... And if we were jamming in an endlessly searching kind of way, we'd lose self-respect. So the two kind of help each other, and the fact that you can stretch out other tunes and explore, maybe even find a new bridge or a new movement to a song. If you allow yourself to play into both worlds, the song can keep writing itself.

I think it's fascinating watching performers play a song they love and perform it by using their own arrangements. It's not about replicating the song. It's about playing the song their own way.

I think we certainly have a group here that will get it back. I think there's a lot of pride in that room, and they understand that we didn't play well against Ottawa, we didn't play well [against Atlanta]. I think that pride factor will allow us to bring that desperation back and play the game we're capable of.
