It's weird for me to come from the 80s when metal was so uncool and see how far it has come.

So don't get me wrong, I love my songs, and I still love hearing them. That's history, baby.

I was kind of always attracted to red. I used to wear red socks a lot for some crazy reason.

I've never walked to an altar in my life. I gave my life to Christ in my bedroom as a child.

Usually, I think you have most of your musical influences locked down by the time you're 16.

I loved Billie Holiday more than any other person other than myself on the stage. Yeah, I do.

Here's a little song I wrote. You might want to sing it note for note. Don't worry, be happy.

Internet is a good and convenient device for us for easy communication. It has lots of value.
