Personally I have my own political views and being straight-edge I'm happy to talk about that, but the music that always meant the most to me, was more emotional.

I just heard a story from someone the other day where somebody was beaten up by Christians for wearing one of our shirts. Of course, that's a very Christian thing to do.

But when I cut off my hair I even had friends not recognize me.

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

Personally I have never found the practice of recreational drug use appealing. In fact, I have always found the lifestyle and the people who surround it to be abhorrent.

I don't really like to infuse music with politics - but I wouldn't say as a general statement that it shouldn't be.

When I was sent to public school, I was relieved that I could wear what I wanted to wear.
