It’s been really hard to go back and listen. I miss Baker. I miss Layne. I wonder how Layne would be met these days, what kind of music he’d be making or if he’d be a father. And his lyrics [on Above] in particular still sound fresh to me. They still make me feel, and that’s good.

I don’t understand why a band would make a big announcement about breaking up. Why would you do that, unless you actually absolutely hate each other and think there’s no way you would ever get back together or hang out? It always seemed weird to me that Soundgarden made this big statement about breaking up. Obviously, they’re back together. It took them a while but, you know, in those situations, you could just take time off. There’s no need to unfurl a banner. You don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, right?

Whenever anyone sends me a link to a band, saying, ‘These guys sound exactly like Soundgarden,’ it’s always some super simple sludge riff with a singer that sings high and screechy. And it’s really awful.
