In my better sense of mind, I know that Im far from alone and far from the worst, and the earth keeps spinning. Everything keeps moving, with or without me.

I am the type that cannot stay put in living in the past and solely in the past. It's not healthy and it doesn't feel right.

You're always going to have detractors, and you're always going to have people who love you, and that's how it's perfectly balanced and the world spins on.

I can easily say I've done everything I've wanted in music.

Speaking of stage freight. I was terrified! It was in NOLA at an all ages show. I was wearing Jeans, a Van Halen t-shirt, and a bandana on my neck. Once I gripped that microphone stand, I did not let go! I plugged my microphone into a guitar FX pedal. Then at the end of the a Black Sabbath song we were covering, I hit the guitar pedal. It was horrific!

With this LP we were all very clear on the approach we wanted to take, which was to do something heavy, but also experiment with a lot of other things we really like.

And it seems to be today, image is a real important thing once again.
