I mean that's something we're very conscious of when writing. Tempos are very important. Like "Oh we can't play the song too fast because people aren't going to feel it." There's a pulse to a song. You can't play it too slow. We're always trying to find the perfect tempo.

When a label is throwing money at you, you have to recoup it.

We're striving to stay in the arenas. We [Papa Roach] had just little things that just took our show a step up and were so stoked for that.

I was still doing the punk thing, but also playing in some indie bands, I had a less crazy hairstyle.

I'm the drummer that kind of plays more on top of the beat.

We[ Papa Roach ]'re always trying to get bigger and bigger. It's weird because I wasn't around when they sold millions of records. Now it's just always about "OK what new people can we get to." We're trying to package up with younger bands like Bring Me the Horizon or Of Mice and Men. Those bands always get talked about, because their demographic is so young. But, actually we are seeing a lot of younger people at shows which is awesome.

I have known people throughout my years of playing where maybe they had a gig, but then lost the gig because they didn't really move forward with them.
