There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.

I had long hair when I was a teenager.

Back then, Pro Tools only had four or eight tracks, so we couldn't actually hear all the tracks. We could only hear eight at a time, so if a song had 25 or 30 tracks, we wouldn't be able to hear it until we went into the studio an put it all on tape. The process was a little bit backwards.

I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.

It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.

It's hard to make music knowing that it's not going to be received by the listener in the way that it should be.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.
