The record is definitely a musical journey. It's kind of all over the place, which I like.

I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.

At 17, I signed a recording contract right out of high school, so I started touring and traveling the world. I sort of missed out on the college experience.

That's the good part of having my past follow me, is that sometimes some of that stuff can help.

I'm really a cool, mellow guy. I'm not as crazy as everybody thinks.

I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me.

One day I would love to do rock a gig on the moon - how rad would that be? Isn't Richard Branson flying planes to outer space? Mötley Crüe could be the first band to play on the moon.
