memorable smell feelings
You ever tasted a smell? It's a very strange feeling. I've done it quite a few times and it still freaks me out.
memorable giants booze
It's one giant Bowflex commercial covered in booze vomit.
memorable car attention
Justin Bieber is a douche bag. Now that I have your attention, let's talk about cars.
taken want checks
If you want to be taken seriously, always check your fly.
feelings listening albums
I don't feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it. One of my favorite albums to this day is the 10th anniversary ensemble cast of 'Les Miserables,' the ultimate cast recording, and it is still something I love listening to top to bottom.
mean ifs every-second
Do what you do and mean it every second of the day. If you don't, you're living someone else's life.
mean kids thinking
As iconic a band as Metallica has become, I think sometimes we forget just how raw they were in the beginning of their career, and to a 15-year-old kid like me, it was just shattering. I mean, it was beyond.
song writing rocks
I write almost all my songs on an acoustic guitar, even if they turn into rock songs, hard rock songs, metal songs, heavy metal songs, really heavy songs I love writing on an acoustic because I can hear what every string is doing; the vibrations haven't been combined in a collision of distortion or effects yet.
writing people guy
I'm a very lucky guy. I get to write music that I love, and lo and behold, people seem to really like it. I know how fortunate I am.
air dancing singing
There's times when I'm cleaning the kitchen, and while I'm doing that, I'm singing and air guitaring with a broom to 'You Should Be Dancing.'
mean writing mcdonalds
If you are too overwhelmed, then when you sit down and try to write something, it feels forced. There's nothing worse than forced music. I mean, this world has enough of that right now, where it's basically McDonald's making music. 'Everybody needs another hamburger and fries.' Here's a piece of crap that nobody's gonna care about it two years.
song dark soul
When I'm working on a Slipknot song, it's like a switch flips in my head. I can go there easily - it doesn't take a lot of soul searching - and it's a dark, almost sinister place. Stone Sour is more the way I've always written. It's a different tone.
song strong generations
A song is only as strong as its foundation, and when it comes so naturally in any setting, those are the songs that will hopefully outlive you, maybe even outlive the next generation of You.
artist differences tickets
The biggest difference between me and other artists out there is that they'll put anything out to sell a record or sell a ticket.
