Sometimes you get an audience that's looking to just explode.

My job is not babysitting people; my job is focusing on making the best band I possibly can.

We have a problem now with parents stealing their kids' CDs, so the roles have been reversed.

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.

If we were to hit the level that Metallica or somebody like that hit, we'd have had a hard time dealing with it. I think it would have been our doom. It's hard for anybody at that level.

Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.

It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.
