“Ever since I can remember I’ve had positive and negative fan reviews. And whether it was positive or negative it wasn’t always based in reality or what my perception of the music was. But judging from playing these new songs live and my feelings on the record [Scream] – and it’s a great record – there is definitely an audience for it. Also, I don’t really go to clubs so I don’t know what sounds are made there.” KnowsMadeI CanFeelingsRealityRememberSongSoundAudienceRecordsFansJudgingPerceptionNegativeClubsReviewsScreamNew Songs Author:Chris Cornell

“That culture, of looking at catchy music as a negative thing, is weird. It has nothing to do with me, or the music I was into growing up. The Stones and the Beatles only tried to write hits. Every Motown song, every Credence Clearwater song - they were trying to write hits.” WritingTryingSongCultureGrowing UpGrowingNegativeStonesCatchyMotownCredence Author:Dan Auerbach
“Not everybody is going to like what I do or get what I do. With as much positive, you always get the negative to deal with. I get that as well. Most of the time, I'm very honored to have a fan base that they react to my songs. My songs speak to a lot of them.” WellsSongSpeakDealsFansNegativeHonored Author:Hank Williams III
