I remember when metal was something you really had to search out, and now I hear it on car commercials.
I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.
I never understood why the metal heads in my school hated the punks.
I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.
I love playing in Fantomas, which is very strict in terms of composition.
I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.
I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.
I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.
Hopefully, as a band, it will grow and develop for a good length of time.
I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way.
Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.
But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.
Bungle is definitely a priority right now.
Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.
I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.
