Steve comes out of ordsprog

en Steve comes out of left field, he's one of a kind, ... Rob (guitar) contributed greatly to a black metal tone of the song with his guitar parts over the blast beat sections, and Matt with his picking style. Each guy had their own staple on how their parts of the song should go, all of which helped with the overall feel of the song.

en I had the idea of using Glen Benton on the song before even writing anything. However, instead of writing a typical death metal song, I wanted to do something a little more structured, even hooky, while still maintaining death metal and blast beat aspects.

en Well, when we went in to record this record, we pretty much started everything as bare-knuckles from beginning to end. Nothing was completely written at all. Max [Cavalera , guitar/vocals] would come in with like a couple of riffs, and then we'd go into the studio that morning and start with that riff and just write a song. And we gave each individual song on the record that kind of attention. That was a pretty cool way that we recorded the new record. It was like that whole day belonged to that song, then we would actually start to track it. So it wasn't preconceived or nothing like that. Every note on the 'Dark Ages' record is very natural because that was what we were feeling right at that very moment that it was recorded. And as far as recording myself, personally, I was like the late-night guy. I really hate doing stuff during the day, especially recording. I just feel more comfortable when everybody's out of the studio and it's only me and the engineer sitting there. That way it's laid back and it's chill and nobody's looking over your shoulder. I feel like I'm more creative, personally, that way. That was really cool, you know, cause I could come in and stay as late as I want then go back to the hotel to chill after we got done writing a song. Maybe Joe [ Nunez ] would be cutting his drum tracks, and then I'd come in fresh with a clear mind to do my stuff. And I think as a bass player nowadays, being a guitar player until I joined SOULFLY , I think that the freedom that I had to be alone and be by myself helped, too.

en I put together one song, Bonnie Raitt put together a song. Ah, what's his name, the other guitar player? Gatemouth Brown! Yeah, he did a side on Joe Louis Walker.

en We were playing at Farm Aid with those guys, and we were just passing the guitar back and forth backstage, and I played that song for him. He said, 'I love it. If you ever record that song, I want to cut it with you.'

en 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.

en So recording the song for Dora brings it all full circle. A song that children respond to and being a song from our past is a blast to share.

en Restraint can be tough. I've made a point to learn how to make a slow song have as much impact as a fast song. That's a challenge I've given myself, because it's easy to just get out there and blast through a bunch of things and feel as though you're exciting the audience. If you can do that with a slow song, then you really have some variety and some range.

en I think if you don't put as many tracks on it, you can get better tone on all the tracks you do have. It lets the vocals stand out, especially on the song like 'I Never Needed You' with Sara Evans, who sings that with Richie. That track is so sparse, there's just so much room for their voices to take up the speakers. I even play baritone guitar on that just so I don't play a lot of frequencies that are even in the vocal range. To me it's just, that song opens up everything for the vocals to do what they do.

en He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through. I got taken to her tour bus. I walked in and there's Dolly Parton - looking fabulous, by the way - with a guitar on her lap. She jumps up and takes my coat and gets me some water, and she's so nice and so shining with life, you know. And she plays me this song, and it's a fantastic song. I love it immediately. I just knew.

en "When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song."
  Elvis Presley

en He is playing guitar because he wrote the songs on the guitar, and the essence of the song is contained in that performance. As far as the new album goes, there was no attempt to recapture anything.

en We really attempted it in a full-force Flaming Lips behemoth production style. We recorded 100 tracks of our beloved pedal steel guitar and 100 guitar overdubs for the music, and for the vocals we stacked all these crazy harmonies. We wanted to add different layers that people might expect from us, but we tried hard not to change the fundamental nature of the song.

en I started doing some acoustic things. When my character was out at sea on a tanker, running his fleet, he'd just noodle around on his guitar. So I did an Eric Clapton song, and then I wrote a song to be used as a theme for a story line. That's how it started.

en James was back there on a vacation, ... He was one of my favorite guitar players. I had written this song ('I'll Make Believe') that everyone said sounded like a good song for Ricky Nelson. I gave it to James. He took it back to Los Angeles and then called me and said, 'Hey, that song you gave me, I played it for Ricky and he likes it. He's gonna record it.' I went, 'Wow.' That was a big deal at the time because Elvis was in the Army and Ricky was the top guy.
