How do you approach writing tracks?

"Some songs, it starts on drums. Nylon 66 started out as a drum riff with the opening 6/8 beat. I remember I’d just put fresh heads on my kit and was trying out the kit and thought it sounded pretty cool so I recorded and looped it then came up with the guitar line and then that song wrote itself.

"Or I’ll start with a click track and play my guitar parts, then play drums and build from there. Once I get the drums down I re-track the guitar and bass then add the weird ear candy, mix it and send it off to the boys."
