I remember in the old days, when we were promoting a show, we'd be out taping flyers to high-school lockers. Now you just announce the show online, and it's a full house.
Even though there's these songs and whoever the hell put it in the internet, if there's any good riffs in them, we raped the songs and put in the new ones.
When something irritates me, I don't go home and write; I just don't do that.
If you're a gay person I'd rather not be stuck in a lift with you.
No, my first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got. I wish that I only would have done the SLAYER eagle and not the dragons ´coz I like tribals that stand out from a distance. Like you could be a snowblind in the concert and you are still gonna see it. That´s why I like about it.
I think no matter what kind of music you play, there will be moments when you feel like it's all been done before.
I have tons of friends in the heavy-metal music world, and just going to see them inspires me.
Hate heals, you should try it sometime.
I don't really have a life philosophy; my thing is just rebelling against pretty much organized religion. That is my main thing, because personally I think it's a crutch for people that are too weak to get through life on their own. I'm the kind of guy that says if I don't see it, then it doesn't work. And nobody can show me God.
In the beginning when I started to write lyrics, I wanted to do something what I haven't done before. So, I threw away the synonym finder.
