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.

Imagine how frustrating it is, being completely locked up and watching your family leave, your wife and children, and not being able to do anything about it.

If it's successful and it sounds awesome, and looks killer live, then I guess I can pat myself on the back and take all the credit too.

Once the song is done and recorded, I like to go back and then cut the drums, because then I know exactly what the song needs, and what it doesn't need.

But you know what I'm trying to say, it's that there's a couple of really dangerous drugs out there and I've lost some friends to them.

No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore.

Why is it that the hot chicks never can sing?
