My brother and I had a real love-hate relationship with my success. There was some bitterness there that I didn't understand until recently, but I told him that if I ever did a record I wanted him to play on it. Jimmy Chamberlin bitternessbrotherhate share on social
The lyrics came out of necessity. When we started writing the record, we started in a more fusion environment and that got boring really quick and that wasn't what we were about on an organic level. Jimmy Chamberlin boreenvironmentfusion Change image and share on social
U2 are a great band; they've given us an unbelievable body of work, and all of us musicians owe them at least something. I can honestly say that every time I have played the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, as soon as my drums are set up, I go into the beat of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.'

Today's consumer is less interested in possessing things and more in experiencing them. That's something the music industry needs to get its head around. Do we even need record companies any more? Jimmy Chamberlin companyconsumerexperience Change image and share on social
I can't take days off and play like I did last night. Maybe some people can, but I can't. Jimmy Chamberlin daynightpeople Change image and share on social
I left the Pumpkins in 2010, and I just took a year off to hang with my family and be with my daughter and my son and my wife, and just get acclimatised to being off the road. Then I started looking at what was going to be the next part of my career/legacy, whatever you want to call it. Jimmy Chamberlin acclimatisecallcareer share on social
You start to look at it with a deeper respect and I think that deeper respect for what you do builds more self-respect. Jimmy Chamberlin builddeeprespect Change image and share on social
After I left the Pumpkins, I went home and just sat around. I have a studio in my basement, and I found myself writing all these songs, just taking advantage of the relaxed situation. I wrote about 30 songs in about 30 days. Jimmy Chamberlin advantagebasementday share on social
My brother was always in bands and on the road when I was a kid and he was my inspiration. He never made it with a big band, in fact he never made a record. Here he is fifty-something years old. Jimmy Chamberlin bandbigbrother Change image and share on social
