I've always related music to those moments when someone turns you loose on something and they haven't told you how to do it. Stone Gossard haveloosemoment Change image and share on social
That's not to say Eddie's never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for power's sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that's naturally where he ended up. Stone Gossard eddieendenergy Change image and share on social
Eddie is a natural leader. Jeff and I have been very much in control of previous bands we've worked in. But the way Eddie grew into being the leader of this band was the most gradual, slow and respectful process that I've ever been involved in. Stone Gossard bandcontroleddie share on social
I like rhythmic things that butt up against each other in a cool kind of way. Stone Gossard buttcoolkind Change image and share on social
Dave played an important part in our growing, but change occurs. Stone Gossard changedavegrow Change image and share on social
I learn stuff from making music every time I go in the studio. I'm continuing to try to find new ways to play in a song or be in a song and have a positive impact on a song. Stone Gossard continuefindimpact Change image and share on social
I love making music. I love being involved in arranging music. It's very natural to know what I want to hear next and come up with ideas that are variations of what might be good. Stone Gossard arrangegoodhear Change image and share on social
If it had remained always my band, my natural tendency would have been to get more complex and arrange things more and more. That wouldn't necessarily be good for Eddie, or anyone else in the band. Stone Gossard arrangebandcomplex Change image and share on social
It's really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we've reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we're finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it's getting. Stone Gossard bandcomfortcredit share on social
But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making process. Stone Gossard banddecisioneddie share on social
