Life is a gamble. And I took a chance, man. And here I am, talkin' to you today, thirty years later, wondering what the hell I did in the first place!

And I'll tell you something, man, usually our sets are 45 minutes, maybe do an encore or two, maybe tops we'll play for an hour.

Experience really does make you better, man.
dumped finally kinda though time turned
And when I finally got dumped from Elektra, which was pretty good, though at the time it was kinda painful, I just turned things around.
suicide entertainment said
I always said I was never gonna be an entertainer, Suicide was never supposed to be entertainment.
falling-in-love rap gangsta
But, Eminem... No, I've loved rap for a long time, especially when it got out of its first period and became this gangsta rap, ya know this heavy rap thing? That's when I started to fall in love with it. I loved the lyrics. I loved the beat.
real men thinking
That's something - you laugh about Eminem... It's funny, man, because I didn't like him when he first came out, ya know. It seemed like a big joke. But I think the guy's for real, and I like his lyrics!
nice believe men
Usually I'm the one who does the covers. And I just said, man, it would be nice to see what somebody else could do, outside of this thing. A fresher look. And I never, in a million years, would have come up with this. Believe me!
suicide fingerprints courses
But of course it's always gonna be Suicide, our fingerprints, ya know? You can't ever get rid of that.
men laughing starting
You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.

That's why so much of the music today sounds so much alike, because there's no in-between. So it's kind of nice to still turn some buttons every now and then.
country emo texas
We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!
men thinking numbers
Every now and then you think about your life, what you would like to be, you start at Number 1 and you go down to 100. And down at the bottom, 100, was - Stage. Go figure. That would be the last thing. It terrified me, man. But I had to do it.
space guy cash
But it was great, we sit in the same dressing room where, like, Johnny Cash sat and Willie Nelson and all those guys. That was in itself something amazing - I was on the same space these guys stood on, ya know?
