We don't have any horn solos on this record, but there are a couple of spots where you can really hear them. It's like a big sound that goes underneath the guitars that you really don't hear, it just fattens it. That guitar riff on the track that you hear has the horns playing the same thing. Sometimes when we feature the horns you can hear them, but what we usually do is have them play the same parts as my guitar, like in the " I Hate Myself For Loving You" track. You have to listen carefully or otherwise you can't really tell. We've done this on every album since I Love Rock And Roll. JJ: No, there are several songs that have them in it. You mentioned that you used the Uptown Horns on the album. I'm proud that all the background vocals are ours and that all the music except for the Uptown Horns is us. We did it all ourselves and I'm really proud of it. They always play incredible, but this time they did everything exactly the way it was called for in each song without even thinking about it. Thommy Price and Ricky Byrd really fucking played their asses off. I think that the band played to new levels.
I don't know why, maybe it's because of all the vocal exercises that I've been doing. I also think that I've sung better that I ever have before. I really love every song and every note on the album. The reason I feel that way is because a lot of times when we finish a record, even though I've always loved all the songs, there were always one or two that I wasn't as crazy about like I was about the others. I really believe this is the best one we've ever done. Everybody always says that their new album is the best thing they've ever done. We really grooved in the studio this time. I also wrote several songs with Desmond Child, the band and Kenny Laguna. We wrote one song together called " Backlash." It's the first song on the record.
Before we went to the Far East, I started writing with Paul Westerberg of The Replacements. We were in the studio everyday - all day long. JJ: We went in the studio once we returned from Malaysia in January and we worked on the album until it was completed at the end of June. What's been going on with the band the last few months?
