:02:01
But can I say something
that I think is bullshit?

:02:05
This whole fucking solo
outdates the whole thing.

:02:09
That's so bullshit. You know?
:02:12
lf you put a guitar so... if you don't
put a guitar solo in one of these songs,

:02:16
that dates it to this period.
:02:18
And that's cemented to a trend
that's happening in music right now.

:02:23
l think that's stupid,
and I think it's totally trendy.

:02:25
That's not what I said. It's always
been about, like, where could it go

:02:30
that's kind of new and interesting,
:02:33
instead of repeating something
from the past.

:02:35
I'm not interested in playing
traditional guitar solos anymore.

:02:40
- You know, that's just... For me it's...
- And you told me that.

:02:43
...it's just boring, you know?
:02:46
To me, if you can add a color
to the song that satisfies you

:02:52
and works for the song,
then that's what we should do with it.

:02:54
But I don't want to get
in the position

:02:57
where it's, like,
we put something down on the tape

:02:59
to satisfy your ego, my ego,
Lars' ego or James' ego.

:03:04
l think it should serve
what's going down.

:03:07
Like, in other words, there shouldn't be,
like, a rule of no solos.

:03:12
There shouldn't be a rule of solos.
It should be...

:03:16
And I agree. I mean, it really is,
to me, all about serving the song,

:03:21
and, you know, I feel
much better about that.

:03:24
Because, you know, I just don't
want to follow certain trends

:03:29
that I see other bands following.
:03:32
We don't necessarily have to
stick to our traditional way,

:03:35
but we also don't have to
follow that trend.

:03:49
I'm actually very, very comfortable
with my role in the band, you know?

:03:54
l've actually always been very, very
comfortable with my role in the band.
