My recording career has luckily run the gamut of recording environments.

In my last band, Soundgarden, I had a couple of different drummers sit in on some stuff and it was fun for me to kind of take a break and watch the band.

I try and stay limber, swim, run, ride motorcycles.

When I first went on tour with PJ in '98, I was still in shock having gone through the Soundgarden break up.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

A lot of times, when a band finds success with a certain style or sound, they have a really hard time breaking away from that to grow as artists.

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
