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

My priorities now a a musician are so different now than they were as a kid. Everyone wants to be a rock star, and I wanted that too; I wanted to be on magazines and be running around the world and having all the fun.

I took music theory in high school and dropped out halfway through the semester because it was ruining music for me.

My deepest apologies to all of our friends, fans and people who have worked on and supported us being a part of this festival, we are sorry for these awful circumstances and you can be certain this will not defeat us.

We live with the things that we do to ourselves and others in doing what we've done to ourselves.

I know plenty of hyper-intelligent metal people, but at the same time, there's this dumbass, hardheaded, macho attitude associated with it. For younger people, it's like a succubus.

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?
