Let's face it, ticket prices suck. Kids shouldn't be shut out of concerts. We wanted to see if we could do something about it, and our new deal gives us the chance to give something back. |
Our fans make the band. What they give we give right back. They're an integral part of us. They ARE us. |
People die from typewriters falling on their heads. |
Problems with my girl. Problems with my family. Business relationships. Friends. You name it. |
Real friends stab you in the front. |
so it's a really surreal kind of mind-twisting video. |
Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats, they just don't want to see the truth! |
Sometimes I go out disguised, but people still recognize me, so I find there is no point in even trying. It would be nice to get away from it, from time to time, but the fact is, there is no place on earth where I can go unrecognized. |
The determination was made by us and Prudential that this project was strong enough that we could go forward on a speculative basis, |
The fans have been really incredible everywhere we've been. You want to make sure you put on the best concert of your life to show them how appreciative you are. |
The kids out there want something they can relate to, something that's real; most of that whiny stuff isn't real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death. |
The music industry can make you feel like a prostitute. |
The music that's out today, the songs these kids are writing -- it's a new golden age of songwriting, ... Wonderful lyrics, soaring melodies -- these are beautiful songs. ... They are gems waiting to be mined. |
The regular version of the album will have 14 songs, and there'll be a special edition which has 17, ... The whole record in its entirety is so different. There are some straight-ahead, heavy rock tunes, but they're a different kind of heavy. It's like we have this industrial bastard child that flailed its head out of us. |
The songs are at almost the same tempo and I knew it would work right off, so it was just [a matter of] going into the studio to make it happen. So we hooked up with the boys ... and they're talented. It's fun and just different. |
