circles guess second sit time work
I used to second guess myself all the time. I can sit there and work in circles when I'm nervous about what I'm doing.
When you're younger, you have a lot more aggression.
religious thinking symbolism
I think a lot of bands are influenced by religious symbolism and not even necessarily Christianity or Catholicism.
mom mean long
As Korn go on, it's the same things - bad childhoods and mean moms. It gets too old after a while. How old is Jonathan? Thirty? How long has it been since he lived with his parents?
mind deja-vu happens
Deja vu is one of the weirdest things that happens to me. It boggles my mind.
blessed thinking priorities
Deftones is always my main focus. I’ve been doing it the longest and it’s definitely a priority. I think of these as projects. It’s not like I’m unfulfilled with a need to find another outlet. I look at it as making music with my friends, and I’m blessed that they’re great musicians.
fun people want
It's fun, working with different people, everybody works differently. When I have time off from music, I want to make other music. That's what I do, that's what's fun, that's what makes me happy.
band felt good oldest reminder weird younger
That was weird because we were the oldest band there. You see a lot of the younger bands, and it's just a reminder of how things are now. It was a good time, but we felt like grandparents out there sometimes.
label music putting tried type
I've always tried to stay clear of being labeled, putting a label on what type of music that I make.
early electronic music
I've always had a deep passion for a lot of early electronic and sampled music.
I want to talk about my band, you know what I mean? I don't want to talk about other bands.
happened
I just happened to wind up in a metal band when I was 15.
grew throughout
I grew up in the eighties; that's probably why I like some of the earlier electronic from Kraftwerk to all throughout new wave and things like that.
best playing raw
For me, the best part of being in a band is playing shows, all the raw energy.
