We're not the kind of band who writes an order abundance of songs and picks from them, we usually write for the album.

Going to the Grammys, being nominated for a Grammy, that was a really big deal for me, for us as a band.

I'm a member of the Recording Academy and I see the way it works and even with the whole voting process it's broken down into specific categories. There are Pop categories and Dance and Rock and Metal and Film and Score and everything else. Basically when you are voting you are urged not to vote in the category that you don't know anything about.

It's hard to answer that from my own perspective because when I'm playing I know where it is coming from and the sources.

I really rely a lot more on memory. I'm definitely not as good of a sight reader.

Songs come alive every night and can be a new experience for someone. You might have someone in the audience who has never seen us before and hearing it for the first time. We are aware of that.

It's a balance between getting the right string gauge that's thick enough where it sound good, and not rubber bands - but not too thick where your hands start to get real tired.
