There are no big groupie fans or anything. |
We never considered ourselves to be a good band or anything, we just thought we were playing for fun and we wanted to play music that sounded like Black Sabbath or Soundgarden or the music we were into at that time. |
There's an inherent thing in me where, if things are going too smooth, I'll sabotage the hell out of them, just to make the music more of a sanctuary. |
I have a theory because I was being beaten up a lot by people outside of school, it was almost like if I could make myself sick enough they'd take sympathy on me. |
There was three or four years of my life where I hated myself and you know, would have quite happily ended it. |
With our first two records we backed ourselves into a hole musically. |
It makes it hard to get over a certain period of your life when you are constantly revisiting it every night. |
So I went and visited a doctor and he diagnosed me with reactive arthritis. |
We met The Cult and were talking to them for a while. We went a few places with Offspring. |
I think I definitely got scared by the second or third time a doctor told me I was dying. |
I'm always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products, testing on animals, and the health benefits of being vegan, although I'm probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment. |
I have not really experienced any significant conflict with anyone in regard to my choice to be vegan, although going out to eat is hard sometimes. |
I never really paid attention to sales until the second record. |
I had to try and find a way to express happiness without sounding corny. |
