I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it's got green in it. I don't know what the hell that was about.
From Nuno Bettencourt
I think I'm a music fan before anything else.
I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.
I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.
I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.
I always imagine later on these songs I could've played with a band, but it never worked out that way.
Half the bands I guarantee wouldn't at this point want Nuno to open for them.
Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.
As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people.
As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.
