I loved rap, especially in the early days. But I wasn't trying to shove it down anybody's throats.
I was a big troublemaker in the group. I put them through a lot of pain, but as much as I gave to them, they gave right back to me.
I didn't have the confidence to leave the band because of a solo career, or anything like that. I just wanted to grow.
No one in the group was really growing up besides me, which is pretty weird 'cause there was no one in that group more self-destructive than I was.
Ricky Nelson... I couldn't believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.
I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands, like Bad Religion, cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.
