Lyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.
ADAM RICHLyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.
ADAM RICHHopefully people can look at our band and see that we’re a heavy rock band.
ADAM RICHWe knew that we wanted to play heavy music but I hadn’t gotten into melody and things like that.
ADAM RICHThat was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really
ADAM RICHI wanted to write some lyrics that had some meaning to them, lyrics that were meaningful to me and hopefully people can take something from that.
ADAM RICHYou have to make sure that your assets and your back is protected before you make any big decisions.
ADAM RICHWe really try to make sure that the band writes the songs, not just one person.
ADAM RICHActually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label.
ADAM RICHYou don’t want the biggest record deal as far as money goes, you just want to make sure that the people at the label really support your band and the music and stuff.
ADAM RICHWe learned a lot and made a lot of good friends.
ADAM RICHWe have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.
ADAM RICHWe just wanted to get as far away from the rap-rock scene as possible, because its been done and other bands do it better than us anyway.
ADAM RICHWe’re definitely not a metal band, but we’re a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.
ADAM RICHI really didn’t think about song writing.
ADAM RICHBeing on Ozzfest has been a great way for us to break out and show metal fans that we have a heavy side.
ADAM RICHA lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.
