I've been vegan since I got out of the hospital... It's another eye opener. It changed my life in a number of ways.
Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.
In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally.
My chops are still up, even though I`m not still in high school.
On tour, you never have a home, you don`t get used to anything, and you`re always super busy.
I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet.
If we play to first time Blink 182 listeners, it's good they are listening to us and not the Backstreet Boys. Old Fans or new fans, it's all the same to us.
In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day.
The whole time after you record an album, you're just waiting for the release date. You're waiting for fans to hear it and stuff.
We just wanted to write a bunch of songs that we thought were good songs.
Then I tried out for the Fontana High School drum line, in Riverside, and I did really well. I got second chair, and played snare in that drum line for three years.
We were concerned with having good songs, not just songs that go two hundred miles per hour.
Volunteering is the last thing that this generation is going to do on their own, ... so if this is what it takes to get them to volunteer, then so be it.
My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.
