"There's no way we could play a country song as well as a country band or a Latin song as well as a Latin band. We could never expect to do that. We just keep doing what we do, what we know how to do. We sound like ourselves."

Mike Gordon
"I want to take some jams and really concentrate on hooking up with Page because, since he's the only one not next to me, and his sound is mainly coming from my monitor rather than through the air, it's a little harder for me to hook up with him."

Sound

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs."

Purpose

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"I like to be sort of grounded with Fish. But, at the same time, I think probably what's unique about us is the way other dynamics happen, where I'll play off Trey for awhile. When we start playing a jam, I don't usually know what's going to happen, I don't have a plan."

Time

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"I'm not really allowed to talk about the Dead though. I think when we are at our best, we definitely do things that the Dead or no other band could do. We explore things and take things to the extreme."

Extreme

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it's just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who's so creative on the drums, and lately it's been really good, especially during sound checks."

Fish

Mike Gordon
"The worst thing I could be thinking is how could I be a cool bass player."

Thinking

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"Travelling to different countries is a goal. I wouldn't mind playing huge places if we got an opportunity to, but it's nice to play small places too. Fish was saying yesterday that he doesn't ever want to play stadiums, or maybe he would once, he said."

Opportunity

"We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can."

"Elektra has no control over the live show, at least."

Control

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"I feel like I want to write some songs and I don't know how to go about doing it. Usually it's the lyrics that are a problem, and I think I am not really cut out to be a lyricist."
