What do you like about the album? I like the songs, the energy, the way it was recorded and the way it sounds.

There's a sense of the whole and I think it's a nice evolution from where we came from on the previous album. What makes you like or dislike a song of yours when it's not new anymore? what doesn't work: it's almost always a fix, a wrong termination.

From a distance, you understand the error, you see what would have worked.

Sometimes it sucks not to have taken an idea to the limit.

But I also know that the songs are what they are and that you shouldn't get too obsessive about analyzing things. New songs seem to me to be something a bit timeless.

They could be from 1979, 1990. I promise you that I think of the music I make in the present, not from nostalgia.

But timeless is an adjective that I would apply to some albums that have marked me.

If timeless means that a work of art is capable of moving people at any time, that's very flattering. When did you start listening to rock?

In the years of punk? Actually, I've been listening to rock since before, very early because my parents were into that stuff.

And very passionately. I say this because sometimes there is a pessimistic view, a feeling that rock'n'roll culture began to lose some of its creativity after punk. The end of the 70s was a time of great creativity, but not just for punk.

I started playing the guitar because Van Halen appeared.

It was a very good time for pop, for classic rock'n'roll, for heavy, for punk, of course... I don't know if it was the peak.

The '80s and '90s were very interesting times too.

If anything, it was the turn of the millennium when a sense of crisis was noticed, more than anything, because there was a technological change.

It was normal: we all understood that digital was serious and that this world was going to attract some of the creativity that was previously directed at guitar rock.

But that doesn't mean guitars are no longer relevant in 2022. Was it ever punk?

Going with safety pins, dressed as Sid Vicious... No, but because I've never had much interest in following trends.

I love punk music and punk attitude.

But fashions don't really go with me. And of everything you've experienced as a spectator, what's the most exciting thing you remember? That's a lot of questions: 45 years listening to music.

I remember when it came out

How has Black Lives Matter lived? I want to be in it, this time yes.

Mixing music and politics has never been my thing, it has always seemed to me that they made a bad combination.

But this is something different.
