I broke the neck on my Gibson Explorer in 2008 when I ran around the venue in the middle of a song… that was a pretty big bummer. Aside from our damn instruments breaking, we handle technical difficulties pretty well- and I’m yet to take a bottle to the face.First record you ever bought and where did you buy it?

- Green Day, Silverchair, Zebrahead, 311, Incubus. My walls were covered in posters.
Name one song you’d hate to have stuck in your head.
- The theme song to Cops. And the song that never ends.
Name 3 things you need when you travel.
- Guitar, Phone, Beer
What is your favorite thing you own?
- Our van and trailer. For sure.
When you are out on the town, what is your drink of choice?
- Coors Light and Whiskey. All day long.
Stupidest thing you’ve done in the last 12 months?
- I asked Tom Morello if anyone ever tells him that he looks like Tom Morello. Yeah. Idiot.
Complete this sentence: In the future…
- hopefully there won’t be any more cables in the studio, and everything will be wireless.
