So what this is is us, our personalities refined down on to a stage performance. In other words, the way we play is the end product of the way we live - we live in the cities, you see.
Well, we were all in high school and we got together, and in college - we were in art college together.
We got on his label, and the Bizarre organization is just going up and up. So we have faith.
That was very close to getting killed. Usually at pop festivals we have people jumping on stage.
You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that's what this is.
When we get together and rehearse, which is always living with each other, we always talk about what would make it better, what would mean more, what would say more. So we're always improving and growing.
We wanted it more live and raw. We didn't want a studio sound.
We started combining the use of light and the use of theatrics and the use of as many art forms as possible, and it's still growing - that's the whole idea of it.
The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades.
We can only take it so far, because man can only take it so far, lower self can only take it so far, and you have to realize that the public is only at a certain place.
They're reacting and that's wonderful. It's better than them sitting there doing nothing. I say make them react - do whatever's in your power to move the audience, and if that's where it is, and there where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it.
They pick all of us out, and then they decide, they computerize, decide if they like it or don't like it, and then they go home, and then they come back again because they're not sure what they saw.
We play it differently now. If we did the album now it would be different.
That's like making fun of a maniac because his brain isn't completely right, because he isn't in the norm.
