I Mean, I Never Liked Being Told

After 10 Years, I Have Been Touring For 20, Playing Basically The Same Type Of Music, A Four-piece Or Three-piece Type Of Music With Loud, Crashing Drums And Screaming Vocals. It Gets To The Point Where You're Looking For Something New, And You Don't Want To Do Something That's Way Too Left-field, For Fear That It Might Seem Contrived.

My First Instrument Was Actually The Trombone, But That Didn't Last Long. Soon I Was Playing Guitar In Bands From The Time I Was 11 Or 12.

When I Listen To The Radio, I Just Hear So Much Music That Doesn't Even Sound Like People. The Vocals Are All Tuned, And The Drums Are All Fake.

When You're Thirteen And Listening To Punk, The Aggressive Nature Of Music Can Sway You To The Dark Side.

It's Funny, There Aren't Too Many Musicians That Also Moonlight As Studio Engineers. There's A Few - The Really Brilliant Ones.
