My favorite Extreme records were the last two. I can't listen to the first one.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

I have a little history. I met Stone Temple Pilots, and their guitar player was a huge Extreme fan. Somewhere down the road, Extreme made its statement.

You are in a state of mixing, and you just live with it. There is not one musician who is completely happy with a mix.

Your woman pisses you off so that gets in there; that's rock n roll.

If people get to the end of the record, then that is a treat.

The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.
