one last time test the audience to see if I could jump into it and I failed. You know, and I stood there for a long time and I know they couldn't read my mind, but I was trying to like with my eyes trying to tell them, don't hurt me. Can't you tell? I mean, haven't you read enough bitching? We're not rock stars, you know, we're not trying to be. Although we did display a lot of rock star. They immediately just started grabbing for me and trying to rip my flesh off for souvenirs. You know, oh, I have a piece of Kurt's forearm. Well, that's, I think that's a reaction.

from the people that work with us to try to save me when I do stupid things like that. They're never prepared for it. It wasn't like before the show I said I'm gonna do that. I was really, for a long time, obviously I was contemplating whether I should do it or not, but I just wanted to try to do, because it used to be so much fun in clubs reminiscing about the old days. I used to be able to jump out in the audience and then the audience would carry me all the way to the back and roll around all the way to the back and it was really fun. It was like a celebration. Everyone's jumping. These kids just, some of them understand that. They're not used to that, so it's all they know how to do is to tear people apart. Phil fifteen feet, but it's not really fifteen feet. It's about six feet.

You go to the hotel room, and you leave, and do the same thing over and over again. It's kind of boring.

We were.

Sometimes they don't have any control over that. The kids don't have any control over that. They're being pushed over, you know? So it's not their fault. I've noticed, like, in a lot of places, especially, like, in England and a lot of those festivals in Europe, the bouncers seem to be a lot more accommodating to kids. They're really cautious in not being. making sure that they're not really mean or, you know, abusive to the kids. But in the States, we've run into a lot of problems before. I mean, I've actually gotten in total fistfights with them before and, like, had to be saved by my manager and, you know, and stuff like that because nothing.

And now we're kind of reverting back to the first thing, which would sound more like Ancestor Side, just other stuff. We just happened to be really into the idea at the time. It seemed like a really challenging idea at the time because we were playing punk rock underground clubs, and we thought it would be really funny to test that out on those kind of people. They would be able to swallow more of a clean.

What was your question? Oh, yeah, yeah, I can feel it. I can sense it, and at certain times when the house lights come on during certain parts of the song, I can see everyone, especially, like, I think lithium's a good example because when we get into the distortion part, the lights turn on and I can see everybody jump up and down, and I realize that it's not only just the front part that I can see, but the whole audience, and it's great. I mean, there's nothing better than, you know, that much of a capacity of people, you know, in tune with the band and giving off that much energy. It's just like a little club, but one hundred times more. They always sing during lithium, which is kind of neat.

ruin our reputation and only a few thousand people from every city would show up. That wasn't the case.

We're not nearly as rich as everyone thinks we are.

I've had two years to recuperate. Fine, we'd still be doing it, but we've made a point to sleep on the bus as much as possible because buses are kind of expensive, so we're not staying in hotels as much as we would normally, or a lot of other bands would. Yeah, one of those typical. I remember a few years ago, you know, when we were lugging around our own equipment in a van, you know, like five people cooped up in a van with our own equipment, we would see a band with a big bus and go, man, what a bunch of gluttonous bastards, you know? What a waste. Those things must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, you know? And also, I looked into it, and if. Okay, how do I explain this? If we were to stay in a hotel every night, let's say we drove in a van and stayed in a nice hotel every night, it would equal out the same. If we didn't rent a bus and stayed on the bus most of the time, so what's the difference? You know? No, we just love vinyl. I only still buy vinyl. The only CDs I own are CDs that have been given to me. I just love vinyl. It's just something.

Oh, God. How do you explain something as pure as that? I'm at a loss for words when that subject comes up. A long time ago, when their first cassette came out on K Records. You know, when we took them on tour with us in England, it was weird because obviously, probably ninety percent of the whole audience had never heard of them before. And instantly, they were just taken in by them. They just were, they're almost crying. You know, you could just see everyone just like completely fucking amazed by them, you know. And it's just, I don't know what it is. It's just something that you can't explain. It's something that's really, really sincere and good. Blah, blah, blah, blah. You can't put it in words.

I mean, I've realized that, you know, the same people that like our band like their band, so why create some kind of feud over something? I just feel sorry for the kids that have to decide on what they should buy within these next two months, either our record or our concert tickets or Pearl Jam's record, you know? That's a lot of money for kids to shell out all of a sudden. I couldn't have afforded it when I was fifteen or sixteen, you know? So I feel really bad about that. I wish we could have somehow, like, made a deal somehow. Like, we could have put our record out a little bit earlier, and they could have. maybe spaced it out a little bit longer soon or anything. It's not their fault, I'm sure, you know? But it's just. I just feel sorry for the kids that have to, you know.

totally a relief. It just really helps. It's great. And we got this guy, Pat Smear, who's in the germs. The pleasure I get out of it is knowing that that many people like the music, you know.

tell you that they like your music is just fine enough with me, you know. So I've never been afraid of any kind of failure. We like to change with every song. Like every song, I'll twiddle my knobs and turn them into a different sound. I just don't like to repeat things. We don't confront one another if we're pissed off at each other. We just know that we're bothered by something that they've said and then just forget about it, you know. That's really the only way to work with somebody. None of us have really.
