“I like the deeper cuts on
this album, they take me
on a journey. The first time
I heard ‘Driven to Tears,’ I
wondered why ‘Roxanne’ got
more airplay. Through Andy
Summers, I also realized the
true potential of chorus-
flanger guitar tones. Before,
I thought they were reserved
for terrible ‘80s ballads.”

Lust for Life
“I love me some Stooges but
this album has an element of
cool that nobody can touch.
It’s more mature than punk
but there’s a sleazy and
dangerous element to the
songs. It taught me to create
a mood and wallow in it for a
while. I don’t think anyone but
Josh Homme has been able to
create the same vibe that Iggy
was putting out during Lust
for Life and The Idiot.”
