We just have to plan everything in advance and concentrate it so that we get everything done in time. It's not as laidback as I wish it could be.

Now since I've gotten back into it, I've been listening to a lot more of the 1990s death metal type stuff.

There are so many things that kept forcing metal back down to the underground. It survives everywhere on the planet.

We aren't trying to make poetry or anything beautiful. It's just a rock show. We just want to enjoy playing loud. That's just about it.

When I was really young, I was really into Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden and those kinds of bands.

When we woke up every morning, one of our things was, "Let's go put a new sign in the back window of the van." Those are the different signs we had up in the back of our van, so that the people behind us could have something enjoyable to look at.
