00:00
Please welcome Dream Syndicate.
00:03
We were all so tired of this nervous, hyper-formulated music that was going on.
00:08
We just wanted to get lost in sound and repetition.
00:12
The 80s were brutal.
00:14
It was the age of Madonna.
00:16
We knew we would be our own favorite band. That's what it came down to.
00:19
A lot of noise, actually, but it was really, really good.
00:22
It was fantastic. It was like dark, moody, psychedelic, jammy.
00:28
♪ The words from outside is she's on the ledge again ♪
00:32
♪ Drawing a crowd and threatening everything ♪
00:36
That kind of Gilbert Underground meets Bob Dylan kind of vibe.
00:40
I was right there with that band, right off the bat, and it all happened within six months.
00:48
Dream Syndicate paid no dues. It happened so fast.
00:51
They were just poised to go straight to the moon.
00:55
♪
00:59
I think they were a little out of control.
01:01
Word got around, you know, "Oh, the Dream Syndicate spent $250,000 making a medicine show."
01:05
When the medicine show came out, it was very controversial.
01:08
Threw some people, you know, off the train, who were on the train with us.
01:12
There was a guitar hero lurking.
01:19
Carl wanted to be in a bigger band.
01:21
In other words, he wanted to be in a band that sold records and played bigger places.
01:24
I think any problems between Steve and Carl were strictly because they just had a different idea of the band.
01:32
It drove me and Carl apart, and I regret that.
01:35
As soon as we heard Paul playing with the band, we all just agreed that he was the guy.
01:41
It was a really perfect band for me to be able to join.
01:49
It's Paul's post-rock and jazzisms and punk rock sound with Steve's that really made me feel great about that band.
01:57
I saw Paul Cutler doing all those guitar things with tools and stuff before Eddie Van Halen was doing those things.
02:04
♪
02:07
Well, in America at that point, we were old news.
02:09
Our United States tour after Ghost Stories was a shit show.
02:14
It was super depressing.
02:16
I think when this is over, I want to stop the band.
02:18
I didn't enjoy the lifestyle, so I quit, basically.
02:21
♪
02:25
The band was, in a sense, just waiting for him to come back.
02:30
♪
02:33
Carl, Norm, Paul, Cutler wanted to do it, so I got the job.
02:39
♪
02:42
We were just blown away, as good as he ever has done.
02:46
May I curse? That's fucking fabulous.
02:49
So if you ask me, "Where are the Dream Syndicate going to go next?"
02:53
I could give you an answer, but I can guarantee you I'd be wrong.
02:56
We have a lot left that we can do with the same people.
03:00
Ultimately, the Dream Syndicate were always cool.
