I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.

I've got the recording process down, and I can knock it out very quickly.

The heavy guitars are the ones that sound good. They are not that comfortable, but they do sound great.

Nobody's perfect. Everyone slides here and there, and they have their ups and downs. When they are down, that is not the time to step all over them.

I'm not a guy to go in the studio and spend months, let alone years, like some people do. I cannot even be in the studio for a month, it will drive me nuts.

What I have is a bunch of really hungry, amazingly talented guys that can kick anybody's rear end.

I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.
