If I'm not writing songs about things I've actually been through, it ruins the idea of making music to me.
I'm not going to be like a rapper and mention the people I'm talking about in my songs by name.
We'll have a part and it's clearing up, so you think something is going to happen and it totally stops and does something completely different and then the part you thought was going to happen comes out of completely nowhere.
When I think of nu-metal, I think of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot and even Chevelle - those types of bands.
Its disheartening to read the really negative stuff, but at the same time, I know who I am, and Im comfortable with myself.
What I think of when I think of nu-metal: structured, heavy music that has a point. It's angry just like all the other music, but the bigger parts are bigger and the powerful parts are more powerful and the slow parts slower.
If you're a fan of hurting others, talking down to, or trying to bring others down, then never call yourself a fan of mine.
You are good, You are great, You are amazing
LOVE WHAT YOU DO! Whatever that is, put your entire heart & soul into it, or don't do it at all.
People can say what they want but it doesn't stop me from doing what I'm crazy about doing.
Happiness isn't a destination; its a journey.
To me, music is emotion and if when you're listening to it and it doesn't make you feel that, then it's not music.
Never understood a lot about the world... music is one of the only things that makes any sense.
Never give up. There is always hope, there is always life. You've just gotta open your heart to it. Live in love.
