If we were going to do this for the first time and we're covering a Led Zeppelin album, let's do Led Zeppelin I .

I saw the advertisements and decided to come. It was really cool that Monica Rao decided to spend time with us.

Perhaps. Or perhaps it's a tradition of covering first albums.

Brendan is a really cool guy. It was a really cool thing to hang out with him in this niche environment in Atlanta and see how Stone Temple Pilots did their stuff.

We're all on the same page, as far as doing what's right and waiting for the right time. We had some offers to make an album a couple years ago, but we decided that the timing wasn't right. It wouldn't have benefited us as much as it will now.

We had a kicker cause a fumble; you don't see that very often. Any time that happens, things are going your way.
