writing listening playing-music
It's all about the music. For me, that's truly what I live for. Just music constantly. Always listening to, writing, or playing music. That's definitely me.
writing home house
When I got home from The Ozzfest in September 2000 with Methods... I just locked myself in my house and I started writing.
creative anything-goes freak
What I wanna do with Methods is keep that around as sorta my freak out, creative free for all- anything goes project.
crazy thinking guy
I'm really a cool, mellow guy. I'm not as crazy as everybody thinks.
thinking should
I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever.
girl lonely fun
Single's fun - you don't have to check in with your girl, but it's not easy. I do get lonely.
problem temper
I don't have a problem with my temper.
school band juniors
I did the marching band all throughout junior high and high school. Music was one of my favorite things in school.
writing feels knows
You know what, I just write what I feel.
wise animal two
The quad toms are a completely different animal than the standard drum set/trap kit. Playing wise and stylistically, they are two different beasts.
real math people
No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore.
rocks lists albums
Aerosmith's 'Rocks' is on the list of my top favorite albums of all time.
heart people hopeless
I'm a hopeless fu**ing romantic. That's a part of me that a lot of people don't know about. They know everything there is to know about another part of me, but not a thing about my heart.'- Tommy Lee

I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.
