More From Chuck Klosterman

Sid vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist. sid proved that you don't have to play well to be the star. you can play badly, or not even at all. i endorsed that attitude. if you can't write songs, no problem - simply steal one and change it to your taste.

It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. i don't appreciate worship of dead sid vicious or of dead james dean or of dead john wayne. it's the same thing. making sid vicious a hero, jim morrison - it's garbage to me. i worship the people who survive. gloria swanson, greta garbo.
Hero People Appreciate
Instead of thinking in terms of chords, i think of voice-leading; that is, melody line and bass line, and where the bass line goes. if you do that, you'll have the right chord. [these voices] will give you some alternatives, and you can play those different alternatives to hear which one suits your ear. keep the bass line moving so you don't stay in one spot: if you have an interesting bass line and you roll it against the melody, the chords are going to come out right.

People ask me: ‘what is punk? how do you define punk?' here's how i define punk: it's a free space. it could be called jazz. it could be called hip-hop. it could be called blues, or rock, or beat. it could be called techno. it's just a new idea. for me, it was punk rock. that was my entrance to this idea of the new ideas being able to be presented in an environment that wasn't being dictated by a profit motive.
