Jordan Ruddes does [have a home studio], but it's all self-contained. I'll be the only guy with a fully built recording studio. So they'll have to come to me.

As far as bands doing that in a way where they think they're going to fight the government, the only people they're really hurting is the fans.

I'm a hopeless tone chaser!I love it and get into the whole thing.

The only thing I had in my mind [when I was 17 ] was that I was going to be a professional musician. So it was just the right environment.
