“I never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.”

Hitting the bottle again, ever than I’ve drunker been. Or is it drunker than I’ve ever been?

Now, I don’t know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does.

Don’t ever try and be like anybody else and don’t be afraid to take risks.

Maybe it’s time we got back to the basics of love.

Now, I was on drugs, and that didn’t help a whole lot. He hated that.

There is one in every crowd, for crying out loud, why was is always turning out to be me?

I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.

Finally, my manager negotiated a deal where I got to produce my own records.

I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time.

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold, outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.

This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.

I can’t walk, so I can’t go home. No need to talk, cause I’m all alone. If I stay here they’re gonna lock me in, hitting the bottle again.

One thing is that I wasn’t getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold.

Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason…

Did ole Hank really do it this way?

If I could only fly, you see, a lot of my problems would be gone. When you think of just how much I’d save on shoes alone.

A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.

Being in a band is about making the band the priority.

We’re definitely not a metal band, but we’re a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.

Being a new band, I just can’t think of a better way to get your name out to all of the Hard-Rock crowd than playing with twenty of the biggest Hard-Rock bands in the world.

It doesn’t always necessarily translate into them doing a better job for a band, but I think especially if you’re playing the game of commercial radio and making videos and stuff like that, that’s sort of an expensive proposition.

Everything is completely democratic in this band so far and that is the way that we would like to keep it.

The more you tour, the better the band gets, and you get caught up in a lot more things than just traveling. It becomes a way to survive.

We 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.
