"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."

"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
"A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist."

History

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"This is my second bass that Paul built me. There were some changes that were made. Sometimes I think of changes that could be made having to do with both the sound and the feel. It's definitely a beautiful instrument."

Sound

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn't really what I would want to go for."

Country

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
"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

Quote_1.png
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
"I haven't written enough songs to be able to say that I have a system. I've only written a handful."

Music

Quote_1.png
Mike Gordon
"I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know, maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point, I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go."
