Little things can make such a big difference during recording.

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.

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

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.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

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

The music has had a certain quality that people like just because it's a real true expression of how we are as musicians.
