There are so many good guitarists out there, I am by no means a very good guitar player.

Because music wasn't free yet, they wouldn't really offer MP3s so you had to buy things to see if you liked it or not. Which is crazy if you think about how much music you bought and then didn't even like the stuff. It was a different world where bands made money off their music.

When you've got insane drums and a lot of guitar, it's really hard to mix the vocals, to mix it all well.

I feel like people who are guarded and shut off, I feel like they should have to wear a button that says, "shut down", "guarded" or something.

The reason I could last for that long a period of being up was because the piece accidentally caught the excitement and adrenaline from, "Ooh this sounds different from usual... Ooh I like that..." That was the energy that kept me up.

Labels want to capture a certain market of kids and blah blah blah, and it's true, I just never think about that stuff. It's all part of a chain that's moving along, but this phase of music has to switch.

When I go on and listen to the stuff on the websites, I can't tell, it all sounds like the same band, like they should all be in one band together.
