play guy hummingbirds
I'm a Gibson guy. I play anything from Hummingbirds to J200s.
people trying path
As a writer, as a lyricist, you're just trying to make sure that you're not repeating yourself. And that's a danger for a lot of people. So for me, I just try to keep taking corners and trying to find new paths.
home iowa special
I've still got the same friends that I grew up with, I still go to the same places that I used to go to when I was younger, and it's just a very special place to me. I'm still very proud to call Iowa home.
reading laughing people
The fact that the public are mesmerised by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and all these miserable people makes me laugh because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism.
morning guy three
I'm the guy that gets up at three in the morning to jot down an entire sheet of lyrics for something that won't be recorded for six months. You have to get it down when you can, because thoughts are fluid.
stones sour stone-sour
I will always make music with Stone Sour. Stone Sour will always be here.
crazy people sin
I sin like crazy, but I protect my people.
stones kind sour
But I always kind of knew in the back of my head that I could come back and do Stone Sour.
song smell lines
I've always gravitated towards those ultimate lines in songs, the line you grab on to. That line in 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' 'Here we are now/Entertain us' - the irony, the antagonism; that's always stuck with me.
talking feels ifs
If you feel like talking, you talk, if you don't, you don't
meat raw-meat peta
PETA. I would make everyone eat raw meat. [why] because I could.
memorable mean thinking
I mean come on. Do you know how easy it is to be famous these days? Do you have any idea? The web has made it plausible to have your very own platform to stand and spew nonsense from on an hourly basis. There's an old saying: when everyone is special, no one will be. These days, everybody thinks they're special, so no one really does anything to be special anymore.
fun rocks band
Show me on the doll where Fun is a rock band.
memorable talking ideas
Popular thought appeals to crowds, gatherings and tribes, who use it as a way to guide the herd. It is very evident in protests - sometimes the very people doing the protesting have NO IDEA what they are talking about.
