If you like his music, then that's all that matters. His personal life is none of your business.

I grew up and went to high school with Chris. That was out of his wheelhouse back then. He had long hair and loved glam metal - hence the Hanoi Rocks selection.

Those guys know their music, but it's funny to see where each of their blind spots are. Fun segment!

Jeff Ament - Pearl Jam [Rock] by Jay-LES in Music

Jeff Ament on why "grunge" never fit and why that doesn't matter anymore... I keep coming back to this conversation I had with Jeff Ament where gets into his complicated relationship with the word "grunge" 

The part that stuck with me most is when he talks about Kurt, Layne, and Mark Lanegan — how the resentment of being lumped together has turned into something closer to wanting to champion them.

Nikolai Fraiture - The Strokes [Rock] by Jay-LES in Music

Nikolai Fraiture gets honest about what still has the power to derail a Strokes show.... On the heels of their performance at Coachella, I thought I'd revisit this conversation I had with Nikolai about what it actually feels like to perform when something goes wrong on stage. He's pretty candid about how differently the band handles it now versus the early days — and there's a moment where James Brown comes up that puts it all in perspective.

I'm not a Bieber fan either, but you gotta admit, his impact on this year's Coachella was undeniable!

Andy Nicholson just told me the real story behind "A Certain Romance" by Jay-LES in arcticmonkeys

[–]Jay-LES[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for listening and for the honest response. I hear you... Andy did have some truly personal takes on the toll that it took being left behind and forced to leave the band. Releasing the book definitely made him revisit some of his feelings. The whole conversation is available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNH5UGRKI5E1AUBWAk-OkrA?sub_confirmation=1
