When You're In A Band And Write

I Always Appreciate When People Save, And More Importantly, Share. As We Speak, There Are People In This World - Mostly Men - Who Have Giant Collections Of Recordings That No One Will Ever Hear. And The Value Of That Collection Is Almost Defined By The Fact That Nobody Else Can Hear It.

I Put My Name On That Occupy Musicians List Because Someone Wrote To Me And Said, "would You Do This?" I Said, "yeah Sure, I Support This." What Artist Wouldn't Support That? What's The Big Deal? But Then People Wrote To Me, "wow! You're On That List!" And I'm Like, "who Isn't On That List?" That Would Be More Shocking.

I'd Much Rather Talk To A 30-year Old That Survived Rough Times In Their Lives [practicing Straight Edge] Rather Than Someone That Was Harmed By A Culture Of Violence.

We Play Loud Electric Guitar Music, And We'd Hope That That Doesn't Mean You Have To Act Like An Asshole.

There Are Certainly Good Examples Of Incredibly Brilliant, Beautiful Music That Has Been Made Commercially Available And Sold Everywhere. But I Would Say That, For The Most Part, Quantity Certainly Does Not Speak Well For Quality.
