I'm super serious about that stuff. I mean, it's rare that I sit down at a drum set when I'm not touring, because we tour so much.
I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.
I'm a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you'd tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me.
A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.
Oh, I was super serious about practicing and rudiments, and still am. I still have all my books.
It's something I want to overcome. And my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.
We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour.
I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.
My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened... well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.
I guess YouTube is the new destination spot for music videos. That's where I go.
In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.
