You have to make sure that your assets and your back is protected before you make any big decisions.

We just wanted to get as far away from the rap-rock scene as possible, because its been done and other bands do it better than us anyway.

You have to make sure that your assets and your back is protected before you make any big decisions.

Actually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.

So you have to just be really careful and make sure that when a deal comes along, that it's like the right deal for you... not necessarily the most money, because you have to pay the record label that back in like record sales and stuff.

Lyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.

Being a new band, I just can't think of a better way to get your name out to all of the Hard-Rock crowd than playing with twenty of the biggest Hard-Rock bands in the world.
