I may be loaded. I may be drunk. But I ain't stupid.

I tried to take heavy metal... and balled it up and chopped it in half and really tried to create a new form of energy. I really tried to re-shape extreme music as I see it through my eyes.

We definitely have a hardcore following.

I may be loaded. I may be drunk. But I ain't stupid.

Pantera revolutionized the sound and the approach to heavy metal. It's been regurgitated. Once you up the production on a product and not just the playing but the actual production, then it's going to up the ante.

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.

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.
