“For me, if we're going to have a guitar solo, it needs to be over the top.”
“I think it'd be fun to tour with Kiss just because Kiss is the reason I got into playing in a band.”
“I've been a huge Megadeth fan for years.”
“Static-X had a great run. We did everything we wanted to do and everyone wanted to do their own thing for a while.”
“For some reason, I don't spend enough time getting to see my family because I'm always touring or working or whatnot.”
“As much fun as we had doing Ozzfest, I think it's good to try something else.”
“There would be no Static-X if I didn't write all the songs.”
“My mom is about 60 years old and she loves our music because she can bounce around to it.”
“Actually I love asparagus.”
“Well, for me the canning factory was minimum wage, which at the time I believe was $3.40 or something. I was just happy to have a job.”
“We became one of those bands that could be around forever like Slayer. We can go on as long as we want to, as long as we have fun.”
“I hate it when bands keep making the same record over and over, so we're pushing ourselves to try new things and experiment in our writing approach.”
“I know the Lamb of God guys. They're way mellow.”
“My passion outside of music is that I am a total gear head. My wife and I own six vehicles, three of which are off-road.”
“Here's the way Static-X has always worked: I write all the songs by myself - totally and completely by myself - I give demos to the other guys, and then they add their parts to it, and then we argue about stuff and compromise and it turns out being Static-X.”
“I listen to classic rock for the most part.”
“We had an incident back in 2001 where our drummer threw out a drumstick into the crowd and it hit someone in the eye and they were going to sue us. You just always have to be really careful with that kind of stuff.”
“Obviously, we've proved a lot of skeptics, who thought we'd be gone after a record or two, wrong.”
“All of our records seem to capture a certain period of time for us.”
“Even in those early years of Static-X, there was a pattern emerging where I would spend all my free time writing songs for Static-X and the other guys in the band spent their free time working on their other projects.”
