like Aerosmith were ruling the world, or like hair metal bands, right?
They're doing rock.
Now, when I would listen to those, I'd enjoy Aerosmith, which are super bluesy, who are super bluesy, but only because I just couldn't believe his voice is just the most incredible instrument, you know, one of the greatest voices of all time, I think.
So I loved him, but I felt really disconnected from any ability to go anywhere near that style of music.
It just seemed I didn't have the pants tight enough.
So when I played the Pixies, and I remember the moment,
because the most beautiful artwork, Vaughan Oliver, who I subsequently hired to do Razorblade's suitcase record, because I love him so much.
If I couldn't get signed to the label, I might as well use their art director, right?
And when I put that record on, just the Steve sound, well, it was the sound of the Pixies, but actually Steve's sound, which is just Steve's drum sound.
And then hearing, you know, Michael Frank Black, whatever, singing, I suddenly realized that it was possible to make rock music, emphatic music.
It'd be fair to say that what I'd done exactly at that point is I had been in London, and my second band had failed, and I was left looking what to do.
And it was the first time in my life I was worried about it, because before that I had brazen youth, like, it will come right, it will come right.
And that was just the most helpful sort of...
signpost on a bleak mountain of where to head towards.
And then you have to make your way.
Kim being the perfect foil for him.
There's so many things about it you can't emulate, you can't do.
They were unbelievable.
But that was where I really felt liberated that there was hope, that there was a way forward.
you have to forge your own way.
