Oh yeah, our first tour in Europe they wouldn't give me the time off from work.

I just don't write musically, but lyrically, yeah I write.

I try to incorporate melody. Even though I'm screaming, I still like to think I bring melody into screaming.

After that I didn't listen to music as much because '70s music just wasn't... I remember all the songs, but it wasn't because I was into them, you know what I mean?

People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a SLAYER song.

That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass, and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar

I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I'm into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder - all that good stuff.
