I’ve seen 13, 14-year-olds opening CDs as though they’re records from the 1920s, going ‘Look at this – there’s a little book!’… That makes me think the format has probably had its day. Jonny Greenwood Read Quote
I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed to play guitar. There’s something – I don’t want to sound ungrateful – but there’s something very old-fashioned and traditional about it. You meet kids today whose grandparents were in punk bands. It’s very old and traditional, but then, so is an orchestra and so is a string section. Jonny Greenwood Read Quote
Right now my mind is on the people who stole our instruments, and, specifically, the person with my guitar, which will no doubt end its days having Green Day songs worked out on it. A better fate was deserved – and while the reverence given to guitars annoys me, I shall miss it. Jonny Greenwood Read Quote
