in Los Angeles in 1992

Performance that stands out for you?
We played the Opium Den in Los Angeles and got
offstage. We were going to do an encore and couldn't find our drummer.
We almost had to pull a drummer out of the audience to finish it. Our drummer
didn't have a set list, so I don't think he knew we were going to do another
song.
Moment in studio that stands out for you?
The very first week that Chris, Brad and I started
working together to see if we were going to work together. We had written
a song called "Passive" and Brad had taken the tapes and laid this orchestra
section on it . The moment he played it, I knew we had stumbled onto something
that was unique. We all agreed that yes, we need to start a band.

On Diary of a Drug Fiend: "At the time when I
was in a band where some people were struggling with drug addiction, it
was important that I read that book and finish it. It's about not being
a drug fiend. It's got some powerful images in it."
