So many men and women today don't want to show any emotion but anger. I like how he says baby instead of bi*** too. That's right! Yeah!

We used to practice at the lead guitarist and drummer's house (they were brothers and shared a bedroom). Their house didn't have a garage. We threw their mattresses up against the walls to deaden the sound and crammed four guys and our equipment into that bedroom, playing elbow-to-asshole. At one point, we talked about adding a keyboardist and a dedicated vocalist until I said, "Nope. We could never fit them into this bedroom."
