We Die Young is about gang violence. That was something that was happening in Seattle, something that kinda opened our eyes. It just seemed like things were getting out of hand. Incidents where kids were getting shot, and getting their tennis shoes ripped off their dead bodies. It just seems like these kids are dying at younger and younger ages and getting involved in gang activity.

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.

I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me.

I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.

I don't do much else but stay in my hotel room.

I guess I can go anywhere I want. If only I knew where to go.

I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.
