like-you damn feels
The best friends you will ever have are the ones who don't make you feel like you owe them a damn thing.
metal-fans people metals
Some of the smartest people I know are metal fans.
live-your-life may
Live your life; whatever that life may be.
mistake reflection technology
The way I make music is just a reflection of how I think music should be made. Where you sit in a studio, and you make music, and you use technology to your advantage, not to hide all the blaring mistakes.
come-up dare my-own
Nobody can dare me to do anything that I don't come up with on my own.
metal-fans long personality
The weird thing about metal fans is we're all so maladjusted in a lot of ways. We're individualistic and opinionated and severe in our personalities - sometimes we really turn each other off. A little bit of a metal fan goes a long way.
superhero my-favorite all-time
Everyone knows Spiderman is my favorite superhero of all time. My favorite supervillain? George W. Bush.
meat raw-meat peta
PETA. I would make everyone eat raw meat. [why] because I could.
beat crappy essays fan fiction grew growing huge hunter kept literary music poor sane tastes thompson various
I grew up poor in crappy situations... various crappy situations. What kept me sane was reading and music. I had so many different literary tastes growing up, be it fiction like Stephen King or Piers Anthony or non-fiction like reading Hunter S. Thompson essays or reading the Beats. I was a huge fan of the Beat movement.
hit music people point reached studio technology tired walk
I think people are tired of fake music, man. And there's a lot of it. Technology has reached the point where any boob can walk into a studio and with a little AutoTuning you can have a hit song. I think it's pathetic.
add along couple craziness definitely eat fame gotta knife lucky money people pocket rock roll table
You gotta remember: we're musicians... we're just crazy people who can't get along sometimes. I've definitely come to the table with my knife in my pocket a couple of times; you know how it is. It's part of being human. Now add fame and money and all that rock and roll craziness to it - we're lucky we don't eat each other in this industry!
geek guy lucky serious taken
I am the kind of guy who has never taken myself too seriously. I mean, I am very serious about what I do; I'm very serious about the creative process and everything, but at the end of the day, I am just another lucky geek who got to live out a dream, you know?
admit call conveys screaming shout songs sour stone
There's nothing wrong with the screaming style of singing, and I'll be the first to admit that it conveys an emotion. But I'm getting older, and I can't scream and shout about the same things anymore. The songs I'm writing with Stone Sour call for a lighter, different approach.
carrying deadly personal realize stuff
With 'Seven Deadly Sins,' there was a lot of personal stuff in there that I didn't even realize I'd been carrying around for awhile. And a lot of guilt involved, a lot of emotion, a lot of depression. Once I was done writing that book, I was able to really let go of that stuff.
