We've toured with so many bands, and we've noticed that there are a few of them... Metallica, Rammstein, Tool - those aren't bands, those are events.

I use throat sprays on stage, but most of the throat sprays I was using had alcohol or other carcinogens in them, stuff I wanted to keep away from myself. So I started making a recipe for my own throat spray that was more of a natural approach to everything.

It's taken a lot for me to understand that the position I'm in is meant to benefit other people.

It hurts, man. When I watch people I love so much just deteriorate in front of me and I can't do anything about it.

I don't understand why some people get access to the universe and other people feel like they're meant to just be stagnant and fail.

My own bandmembers wouldn't return my calls and I lost multiple tour managers, crew members. I can't tell you how many friends stopped talking to me.
