They’re extraordinary artists; an absolutely brilliant band.

Salvador Dali: "I don't do drugs. I am drugs. " Some people do not need such things to be this creative

Go Cedric!

[@TDs303]

Love the rants but you do not see many videos of Cedric so praise what we get cuz there might not be to many in the future

[@scope52005]

Great rituals!

[@J1Nflo]

I love how Carl Sagan's video is in the suggested videos :)

[@crowkangi]

not what you'd expect from some of the sounds they produce, you'd think they'd be channeling a herd of beasts...but it's great to hear some of the practical measures you have to take like he stressed. 8 hours sleep, eat regularly...when accessing the genius.

He just recently quit smoking pot. He mentioned 'sitting around all day watching TV and smoking pot if it weren't for Omar keeping [him] busy" in an interview from sometime after Bedlam came out. I don't think either of them are disapproving because Marcel, Deantoni and Juan smoke. He claims it kills the creative process, but if he honestly thinks it does he must have depended on it to be creative to some degree and wanted to stop doing so.

He might be a fool, but he's my favorite fool.

[@LisBizkit]

Wow, I have pretty much the same techniques

[@TDs303]

couldnt believe it either!! (although i knew a long time ago)

[@theatregeek84]

While I like this answer - I wonder what his answer would have been back in the day.

[@balloonsballoon]

eating and sleeping right is way more important than people think. try just eating arugula and hummus for three days and see what kind of art you produce. it will be a lot different than if you eat cheeseburgers and fries.

[@YoutanPoluo]

drugs? weed? is the answer to this question at least in the beginning of this bands career

[@13Kooki49]

what was the song The Malkin Jewel about? and what inspired it?

[@rafazeppelin]

I want his iPhone!

[@Ehivar27]

how did you decided to get into music over anything else? you think it was your fate or somethig like that?

[@13Kooki49]

seriously? huh that's interesting

[@tonyAJ420]

Weed is not a drug. "Rumored" to have been smoking pot with SOAD? Yeah, if you call taking bong rips with Daron on stage a rumor.

[@TylerHNothing]

Why are you wearing the same clothes in all of the interviews?

[@BeeBeeBones]

Oh..he's married...=[

we all know apple didn't invent dictation, right??
