Whenever I write, I only write about what I know or what I have experienced or feeling.
Imagine how frustrating it is, being completely locked up and watching your family leave, your wife and children, and not being able to do anything about it.
I'm happy doing what I'm doing, and if you have that kind of attitude then everything else from there on is a bonus.
I was just reading some poetry, and it talked about how things start as one thing and change into another, and I just thought, what a great concept for a song.
I think that when I did the Methods Of Mayhem record, some of the hip-hop stuff probably freaked a lot of Motley Crue fans out.
I still play but for some reason, I am having so much fun playing guitar and singing that I don't really miss it because I've done it for so long like twenty-something years with Motley.
I lived up on Kanan and Mulholland. It's a bit of a drive, but once you get there, the horses, vineyards, it's just so peaceful.
I just write... if it's really good, it's going on the record. If it's average, it's going in the trash.
I find that doing the drums last, coming from a drum history, really works well for me.
It's all about the music. For me, that's truly what I live for. Just music constantly. Always listening to, writing, or playing music. That's definitely me.
