You can't buy happiness

I would like to get rid of the homophobes, sexists, and racists in our audience. I know they're out there and it really bothers me.

I knew I was different. I thought that I might be gay or something because I couldn't identify with any of the guys at all. None of them liked art or music, they just wanted to fight and get laid. It was many years ago but it gave me this real hatred for the average American macho male.

I wasn't thriving socially, so I stayed in my room and played guitar all the time.

Music is first, lyrics are secondary.

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

I don’t wanna have any other kind of job. I can’t work among people. I may as well try & make a career out of this. All my life my dream has been to be a big rock star - just may as well abuse it while you can.
