I got really tired of metal music. How do you pick what's good to sell when you're not totally into what you're listening to and marketing?

When you're not putting a bunch of chemicals into everbody, people tend not to fly off the handle.

It's easy to gravitate toward something negative as opposed to something positive, especially if you're an outsider.

I like just having that separation between my music life and my personal life.

I think metal draws dumb people. It's not exactly a thinking man's genre.

I don't think in time signatures, and when I do, what I write is generally 3/4 or 4/4, the most basic, straightforward stuff. I think that comes from just not being a super-schooled musician.

You can have the coolest job in the world, but it only seems cool until you get sick of it.
