I've never been a calm, midrange type person.
When I was 13, I got my first guitar, and I could sort of play Ted Nugent songs, but I couldn't play the solos. But I could play along with entire Ramones songs.
I believe in the power of music. To me, it isn't just a fad. This is a positive thing.
I'll ride the wave, where it takes me!
Yeah, we'll play that. You want fries with that?
There's a lot of bands that get to a certain level, and it just stops. They scrap it. Compare this to, say, The Rolling Stones or The Who, where they just continued on forever and are still playing, or they quit after 20 years.
