• Communication between band-mates is imperative. Communication is the key to any healthy relationship.

Same goes for anyone else in any band.

It's a band that I've been in for many, many yearsm and I've just been waiting for the right itme, and boy, it sure is the right time.

• Speaking of stage freight. I was terrified! It was in NOLA at an all ages show. I was wearing Jeans, a Van Halen t-shirt, and a bandana on my neck. Once I gripped that microphone stand, I did not let go! I plugged my microphone into a guitar FX pedal. Then at the end of the a Black Sabbath song we were covering, I hit the guitar pedal. It was horrific!
