The N.Y.C. tech scene is vibrant, and Betabeat will be a great vehicle to cover it in depth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any vehicle that conveys great songs and the ability to perform them, whether it's 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys or One Direction, is all good.
The Yas Marina circuit is really pretty impressive. The track itself has some quite slow corners and not a great deal of overtaking opportunities, but it seems to combine a road course with a circuit course.
Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.
Limp Bizkit is my main priority, but my side project, Black Light Burns, is still a labor of love. We have a record written, so we'll see when that comes out. When we tour, we go out in a van and trailer with me driving.
The studio system reminds me of the stock market.
I find N.Y. very inspiring; there is an amazing energy and flow of creativity in N.Y. like nowhere else.
Just watching the people on the streets of N.Y. is inspiring; there are so many styles and unique points of view. Fashion is very much inspired by the streets, has always been, and I'm sure it will continue to do so.
I like SF environments that seem used, and lived in, every day; not just rolled off a props truck. Look around you! Everything is scuffed, scratched, dinged, faded, even rusty.
I don't mind doing the green-screen stuff at all, and in fact it's a lot like black-box theater, which I did plenty of in New York.
Detroit: Cars and rock 'n' roll. Not a bad combo.
