He didnt touch the guitar.
He said, Ill just play some harmonica and sing.
We get to the gig.
Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell goes deep on his new memoir’s revelations in our interview.Brian Rasic/WireImage
Thats the beauty of Bob.
And hes responsible for a lot of the earnings that were making.
And that was not hard for me really.
I knew we were all going to do well anyway.
I had a feeling that whether Tom gets this slice or that slice, my slice is very healthy.
And thats what I tried to communicate to the other guys.
Like, dont break it up over this.
Were all going to do fine, you know, if we just hang in there and make music.
Hell never have time to listen to them.
I dont even have time to listen to them.
So I just pick out the best ones that I thought he might like.
But yeah, its kind of like the opposite of writers block.
And I can understand that.
In retrospect, Im glad I didnt put anything out then.
There was a little of that thrown around right after Tom passed away, says Campbell.
And it just didnt feel right to me.
It still doesnt feel right.
I mean, I think that just doesnt feel right.
I dont pursue that idea.
And I dont think the other guys do either.
Theres so many tribute bands now too, that do us, that are so weird.
You know, I dont want to be one of those.
We havent started recording it yet, but Im really excited.
I think next month well go in and start tracking these songs.
But its going to be a great record, and we have a tour next summer.
