kids people strange
I was a strange kid. I'm still strange. People didn't get me. And I didn't expect them to.

I'm homesick all the time. I miss my animals. I miss my family. I miss my friends.
classical dynamics helps listen music understand
It'll help you be imaginative if you listen to classical music. It helps you understand dynamics and how important they are to create an environment.
berry brian chuck dave
My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks.
time
Onstage is the one time in my day that I can let it all out.
time
The first time I learned how to play, my guitar was out of tune. I didn't know it; I just started writing songs.
music
To me, if you're a musician, then you're interested in music, and if you're interested in music, then you should listen to a lot of different types.
gardens
When I picture England, I picture little gardens and beautiful yards. I don't really like cities; I like to go and see things like that.

bands drummer guess home playing since small time
Every time I'm home, it's like a vacation, but I've been playing in bands since I was 11. I guess our goals were always small goals. It started off my goal was just to be in a band. Then it was to have a drummer that would show up.
across country debut drove falling leaves left purple scenery seen setting time tour
For my band's debut tour in 2011, we road-tripped across the country in a 15-passenger van. It was the first time I'd left Alabama. I drove through scenery I'd only ever seen in calendars: auburn leaves falling in Vermont, the sun setting over purple mountains in Arizona. It was incredible.
almost cameras conversation driving hit people russians turn videos whatever whenever wrecks youtube
For whatever reason, whenever I'm having a get-together, I'll turn on my projector and play YouTube videos of 'Russian driving fails.' Russians all have dashboard cameras in their cars, so there are all these videos of crazy wrecks and people almost getting hit in the street. It's a conversation starter, for sure.
best came early guess music playing
I don't care what you're playing. You can be playing EDM music. Well, guess what? That came out in the early '80s. There's no way to be original. All you can do is put yourself into it and do the best you can.
best crazy drink health restore skip sleep ton
I drink a ton of water a day and try to get as much sleep as possible. Sleep is the best way to restore your health. Never skip on sleep; it's crazy important.
