This is exactly what the doctor ordered.' That unhinged guitar playing that Greg Ginn was doing was amazing. As a fan of [[Jimi Hendrix|Hendrix]] and [[avant-garde jazz]], he was right there at the centre of all of that and he embraced all of it in his playing. I could tell that what he was doing was deliberate, too. It wasn't just like, 'Oh this guy can't play.' It was discipline. Later on, I got to know Greg Ginn and it was all confirmed for me. He was like, 'This is method.' | url-status = live | archive-date = September 5, 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160905132911/http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-09-04/black-flag-damaged-william-duvall-alice-in-chains-giraffe-tongue-orchestra-interview }}</ref> [[Ben Weinman]] of [[The Dillinger Escape Plan]],<ref>{{ cite web | access-date = March 9, 2017 | url = http://www.therockpit.net/2015/Ben-Weinman-Dillinger-Escape-Plan-Interview-2015.php | date = July 15, 2015 | first = Andrew | last = Massie | title = The Rockpit interviews {{!}} BEN WEINMAN {{!}} DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN | website = [[The Rockpit]] | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150724203435/http://www.therockpit.net/2015/Ben-Weinman-Dillinger-Escape-Plan-Interview-2015.php | archive-date = July 24, 2015 }}</ref> [[Kurt Ballou]] of [[Converge (band)|Converge]],<ref>{{ cite web | access-date = April 15, 2017 | url = https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/converge_the_best_way_to_learn_is_just_start_doing_it.html | title = Converge: 'The Best Way To Learn Is Just Start Doing It' | publication-date = February 19, 2008 | first = Carlos | last = Ramirez | website = [[Ultimate Guitar Archive]] | url-status = live | archive-date = June 16, 2017 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20170616142041/https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/converge_the_best_way_to_learn_is_just_start_doing_it.html | df = mdy-all }}</ref> [[Justin Sane]] of [[Anti-Flag]],{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} [[RM Hubbert]],<ref>{{ cite web|access-date=June 16, 2017|url=https://slowthrills.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/interview-slow-thrills-meets-r-m-hubbert/|title=INTERVIEW: Slow Thrills meets R.M.
