Its extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.
I am constantly amazed at their support over the years.
I love playing with Jeff. That's something I never really say in the press, but he's my favorite bass player. I've played right next to him for 10 years.
The thing about Matt Cameron is he has made us 1000 times a better band than we've ever been. He's such a freight train on drums and such a cool individual as a man that it makes us better as a band, and we are now complete with him.
There's Eddie's conviction and his lyrics and his ideals, and he can just rock straight out. His vocals are incredible. And we all are really competent musicians.
I have to eat in a way that's good for me.
I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.
Star Anna is an American original. She sings from a place of beauty that takes me to a higher place.
The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.
Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.
My life would have been different without Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. They would have to be the greatest on my list as an influence to my life at 11 years old.
It's always push and pull with a record company.
That's what music has always been to me: a feel. I've listened to the Stones many times and it still makes me have that feeling of joy every time. They are still around and put on a really exciting show. We also give it 120 percent.
I have had Crohn's for about 19 years. It is a debilitating disease that affects my colon.
