Get these people drunk. I don't know if you're aware of this, but we're horrible acoustic. We're going to play all of Neil Diamond's greatest hits, chronologically, alphabetically and scientologically.
I don't think it's good to run on anger, but it's really great when that's the first couple of gallons in your tank - when you've had enough, and you're just pissed off enough to go for it. In a lot of ways, that sort of environment can be a catapult for a great situation.
I got into guitar because no parent will buy their eight-year-old kid drums unless they're divorced and trying to get back at their wife. You know what I mean?
Music is the only thing I've ever known that doesn't have any rules at all.

Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies. I'm always hoping that half the people get the joke and the other half are the joke.
Making people uncomfortable is one of my hobbies.

Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself.

It sounds like a circus -- like you won stuff at a carnival,
It's about friends and fun and about saving the kids.
