To be a great band it's like you have that telepathy. You know when the bass player's in back of you without even looking. You know when your guitar player's coming up to you to lean up to you and sing into your microphone. You just know these things. You feel it. You feel the energy of it.

It's got big riffs and really it's a rock and roll album. I think Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver fans will relate to that

I prefer to break new ground, but it gets harder and harder with the territory that's already been walked on.

Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.

Processed pig is white trash meat. Some people call it Spam.

I had a period in my life in the '90s where I was definitely young, dumb, and full of even more dumb.

But at this phase of my life, I want to write and not have to think about whether a song is going to be a hit. I want to explore the music that inspires me, and I don't want to ape myself.
