Nirvana was like that- Nirvana was like the only band to come out of that- it was like the same thing, Seattle was like this whole scene and it was like this big scene that was thrust upon America.

I mean people have compared us to like the Grateful Dead and all these like psychedelic sixties bands.

Led Zeppelin was pretty much what made me pick up drum sticks.

When I go on stage man I just want people to have fun, I don't want people to think about their problems, I want people to get energy and nutrition and food from that so they can go back into the real world and work on their problems.

I think that you really don't have a choice, when you see that things are wrong the only choice you really have is to just do what you can to make it better.

People are trying to live freely outside of, or within a system that maybe for them on a day-to-day level isn't as free... I definitely think we're positively orientated.

I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music.
