We're not a political band. We don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think.
A lot of people, when they talk to me, I can't wait for them to shut up. Like, shut up. you're a moron. I have nothing to say, you know?
Every night I play as if my life depends on it.
I can't sleep very well at night. It takes me a while to get to sleep. I could just be nocturnal. I have my nighttime witching hour where I hang out, listen to records or watch TV.
My goal is to be one of the biggest bands in the world, and I have never been bashful about saying that.
We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we're not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
Life isn't pretty but it sure is beautiful.
I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.
Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball.
Rock 'n' roll can be fun and dangerous at the same time.
We're gonna get high, high, high, when we're low. The fires burn from better days. She scream why, oh why? I said I don't know!
To do something that you feel in your heart that's great, you need to make a lot of mistakes. Anything that's successful is a series of mistakes.
Punk is always something that's going to be with us and to try and explain that would be stupid at this point.
