“What’s a punk band? Hey, who’s got a beer?”

We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. Music is meant to be played as loudly as possible, really raw and punchy, and I’ll punch out anyone who doesn’t like it the way I do.

Yes. Yes, when we live our life like 1950s detective films. I often go to my fridge, “Hullo, we’re out of milk. I say mother, where’s the milk?”

I’m 33…before AC/DC I’ve played in a lot of bands in Australia. You’re never too old to rock and roll.

There is no legitimate use whatsoever for marijuana. This is not medicine. This is bogus witchcraft. It has no place in medicine, no place in pain relief.

It keeps you fit – the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food – it’s all very good for you.

People always – when you rise, whenever you’re getting to a point where you’re a very big band, which is a very rare thing, there are always going to be people that aren’t going to like you.

I’m my own worst critic and I think everyone in the band is a perfectionist.

You wouldn’t be a complete band without a slightly cocky frontman, would you?

I’m a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we’ve been in many bands.

As far as the grunge thing, there are three bands from Seattle that I would call true grunge.

You can’t just listen to The Smiths anymore. But then there are plenty of people that do only listen to five bands and six albums and that’s it.

Acting had always been the social scene I’d fallen into. It was sort of a merry band of band geeks and theater nerds.

If you don’t try and explore genres and have freedom of creativity, you’re just wasting your position as a pop band.
