Im too hung for womens underwear.

I think 'The Stage' is kind of left field.

Rock music will never die. We all know that.

We are ever evolving and never repeat ourselves.

Growing up, I was always playing with video games.

If I ran the Grammys, it would probably go bankrupt.

I've never made a comment on a message board in my life.

We stand for musical individuality. That's all we stand for.

We want metal to be dangerous again. How cool would that be?

WE'VE BEEN READING THE MÖTLEY CRÜE BOOK. THATS OUR HOLY BIBLE.

Trying to impress people who hate you is just a big waste of time.

I want to stay away from trends and do what we want to do musically.

I wanna write a classic metal record, a classic rock record, in 2013.

Music and space collide for me, as I find them incredibly stimulating.

The reality is you either step into the future, or you become a dinosaur.

As we develop, I just see us following our heart on this musical journey.

Unless someone physically tries to attack me, I don't care what anyone does.

Censorship, telling people how to live their lives I completely disagree with.

It really does help everyone when there are some big bands leading the charge.

We go out there and kill it every night, and you can see what this means to people.

Everyone has an opinion, and everyone should be entitled to say whatever they want.

Metal needs to be exposed to more people, so it's good for rock if there's bigger bands.

We're really excited to be even talked about in the same breath as Foo Fighters or Metallica.

I just think that a metal band covering a bunch of metal songs is so boring, so 'done before.'

Musically, I just like when people are knowledgeable about music and they can talk to you about it.

No. 1 records are fine, but in 2016, they just don't mean as much any more - the currency has changed.

'This Means War' is up there with 'Hail to the King' in terms of crowd reaction and kids chanting for it.

I used to get a huge kick out of walking into a record store and finding something I didn't know was out.

We write when the time comes, and we try to be exciting, and stuff that excites us usually makes the record.

Most people know we're kind of one of the only bands around right now that will admit that we're Republican.

The thing about covers is that the first thing you're going to notice is the vocals, because it's not the same person.

I saw The Rev the other night and he was on like four different things. He was like, Dude, Ive been gone for three days!

When we were growing up, we listened to all sorts of music, but the first band that really grabbed all of us live was AFI.

We live in the realm where all the metalheads and rock fans know us, but we're not giants like Linkin Park or Black Sabbath.

If people respect us as artists, they know we'll give them something different every time; they know we're pushing ourselves.

What made 'Dark Side Of The Moon' so great is some of the mystique and where it was coming from and just the authenticity of it.

Our band has always been really big on imagery. We've kind of used that as one of our strengths; we tend to do that pretty well.

The idea of turning an album into a living piece of art and adding new installations is really intriguing. It expands the journey.

For me, 'Far Beyond Driven' just had an oomph that kicked it over the edge and just pure aggression. And I always appreciated that.

We really like having songs where we think the arrangement is just as important as the melodies, even though they're typically not.

I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd, the Doors, Elton John, Sabbath, Metallica, GN'R, Megadeth - just classic rock, classic metal stuff.

When I was very young, it was Guns N' Roses and Metallica. I'd play air guitar on my bed. They've been the thread throughout my life.

We always want to do covers, but we found it kind of boring to do covers of bands in our genre, and we were always asked to do those.

I'm glad that we can add something new to the fold that Metallica's not going to bring to the table, and they're going to do what they do.

Every once in a while, we can touch somebody's life in a way just by writing a melody or writing some music, which is always really special.

I was a fan of 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,' and I got into 'Call Of Duty: Black Ops,' which was my favorite 'Call Of Duty' game of all time.

I went to this vocal coach, Ron Anderson, who has worked with Axl Rose and Chris Cornell, to train my voice and learn a whole new way of singing.

A lot of the metal bands that were around when Metallica put out 'The Black Album,' now they're playing clubs, and Metallica is playing stadiums.

I got an email saying we were nominated for a Grammy, and I instantly thought it was a joke. So I started Googling the nominees, and there we were!

A lot of times, people just want to be more extreme than the next band or the next person, and that's all they focus on. That's kind of lost on me.
