I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in.

When I got home from The Ozzfest in September 2000 with Methods... I just locked myself in my house and I started writing.

I got it: stay away from cocaine and heroin.

It's all about the music. For me, that's truly what I live for. Just music constantly. Always listening to, writing, or playing music. That's definitely me.

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.
