Homme was particularly annoyed at the way the music moguls spend the company's money for something relatively unnecessary. "The last thing they're stripping down is their own expense accounts and sh**," he said. "I mean, Jimmy Iovine of Interscope records takes a private jet or rides first class to tell a band they don't get tour support. You know what I mean? F**k that shit, I'm tired of it."
