lots shoot stuff time
In the time between records, I always have lots of stuff going on. I shoot photography, make little sculptures, play video games.
songs sound tool
I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other.
personally
I personally don't like to use as many effects because when you play live, something always goes wrong.
played program
I played violin and got into that Suzuki program in the second grade.
label market meetings record
We have meetings with our record label to tell them how to market us.
sounds
If I play anything that sounds like a solo, it's gonna sound like a lyric.
people
Different people get different things out of the images. It doesn't matter what it's about, all that matters is how it makes you feel.
art
Fine art is really something I want to get into.
hit love music
That's what I love about our music - it'll never be a hit because you can't dance to it.
people
I think people like Steve Vai are so boring.
les paul
I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom.
compared raw unsafe
That's the thing I like about my sound. It's real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound.
felt played until
When we played with the Rollins Band, we'd keep songs going until we felt like ending it.
