song play issues
The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs.

Metallica - they're so demonic, they're crazy, I don't know how they do it.

All of my favorite records have vocals high in the mix, even if it's music that wasn't necessarily mainstream.
distance thinking people
I think the Internet shortens the distance between people, and that can often lead to inappropriateness.
people care facts
There's a side to being in a band that some people embrace and some don't: the fact that you're performing and you care about how it comes across.

I like to do what I do in my house and I love to play shows, but I don't want to have to go out and talk to a bunch of people I don't know.

bad cover hearing music playing ramones religion songs
I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands, like Bad Religion, cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.

I was a big troublemaker in the group. I put them through a lot of pain, but as much as I gave to them, they gave right back to me.
