I really didn't think about song writing.

Musicians don't respect a lot of the stuff that is on TRL and a lot of musicians think that stuff on the radio is not good musically so when musicians say that they like us it obviously feels good.

That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends.

Everything is completely democratic in this band so far and that is the way that we would like to keep it.

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.

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