I love good momentum. It makes everybody happy and in this time that we're living in, especially musically speaking, if you can make a record that has more than 4 or 5 songs deep and it has a good variety of songs. You don't frontload it with those first couple of songs. You continue the record taking the listener on a journey, musically speaking. I think you've really got something there.

I've been obsessed with The Beatles since I was two.

If something inspires you, try and hold on to that inspiration because if you lose that inspiration, what do you have left?

Exactly you had to dress in flannel, and if you were a grunge band, before the grunge thing took off and you said you were METAL.

Basically you're doing the best you possibly could do and until it's out there and until people are hearing good feedback, I guess that's how you know you've done something good. We're so close to it that it's hard to look outside because we're inside of it, so it's really nice when you hear good feedback on the outside.

I mean if it wasn't for The Beatles, none of this, none of the music we listen to would even exist. They're my favourite band of all time.

I couldn't deal with anything. I wasn't enjoying what I was doing because of the situation. My Paiste rep, a symbol company, referred me to this doctor in LA. I went there and had a consultation done. So, he examined exactly what the problem was and I went for the operation and it was a success.
