I pretty much built a band out of the most incredible guys I could possibly find. I didn't really want a six-piece band, but it just ended up being a six-piece band because these guys are all awesome.

Because nobody wanted to play bass, I was instantly in a band.

To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave.

Music in general is looking for something new overall.

I'm a big believer in spontaneity.

Band chemistry is a tricky thing. If one guy isn't feeling right with the other guys, everything gets thrown off. When you get the personalities and the chemistry right, that's a grand slam.

I like to open new doors and blaze new trails through the jungle and all that whatnot. What keeps me goin all these years is changin it up.
