Gaslight Anthem's thing is its power. It's just like boom and explosions and loud, and play with everything you got.
I spend my money on cars. That's why I have a Challenger. It's a muscle car, like a Mustang. It's big and rumbly.
When you write a lot of songs, sometimes you don't have a place for them, and you need an outlet for them.
You never get away from that thing in your hometown that it has over you. You don't outgrow where you come from.
I've spent my life playing music.
I was never a fan of open tunings, because some people will do that and fumble around. But that's not my jam.
When I first started fingerpicking, the first thing I learned was 'Don't Think Twice It's Alright' from Bob Dylan.
I don't want to be a lead player. I don't want to shred and play fast licks. I just want to be the best rhythm section ever.
I think I lose myself in interviews sometimes.
It's always Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Waits for me - the big three.
Tom Waits is someone who has really struck me, ever since I was a kid. He's really a big deal for me.
I think some people don't even know what they're talking about, and they just start talking with an opinion, not even asking questions.
I don't like it when people spout about the popular opinion just to make it louder.
Where I live, every band ever comes through, and you can see anything you want, pretty much.
I don't go to rock bars. Why would I go to rock bars? I can do that every night; it's boring.
There's no way I'm going to write for other people.
There's never going to be a new Beatles because we don't consume things in that way anymore.
There is no basis. It is intended to create headwinds for her campaign, but it is not going to work.
The Gaslight Anthem is very streamlined. We don't usually use organs and strings and things like that.
The first time I heard 'White Man in Hammersmith Palais,' I loved the vulnerability in the music and the lyrics.
The Clash will always be from London, and we will always be from New Jersey. But New Jersey doesn't create us.
That's how I would describe myself, persistent.
That will probably impair their ability to advance their legislative agenda.
That was the best night of our campaign.
Thank god someone as competent and patriotic as bob mueller is in charge of investigating this awful mess.
Springsteen is a hero to a lot of people in New Jersey. He's a role model - because he's a local guy who got out.
Songs are like anything else - they dictate to you which ones go together and which ones don't.
Sometimes I get the bug to live in London for a year, or something like that, and maybe I will. But New Jersey's home.
Shoes are everything. You can tell more about a man from his shoes than his handshake, because they tell where you're going.
