I have speakers all over my house because music is such a huge, huge part of who I am.

I love good, loud speakers.

I play bass. I don't have to go out there and screech.

Sound should bring you in. We have people in all these specialized departments to make it one whole. They are supposed to work together to bring us into their world, not push us away. For example, rock music has to be loud, but it doesn't have to be too loud.

Sometimes we drop in and do an acoustic set somewhere, and that's really fun to take all these insanely loud songs, and to do them quiet. It's really a sight to see... or to hear!

I decided to build a studio in my house. We built it in my basement kitchen. I had the drummer up by the fish tank. I was in the toilet singing. The bass player was out by the shelves in the living room, and the guitarist was on the couch by the telly.

I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

I've always tried to expand what heavy or loud music was and where it can go and what it can do.

I go to a club to relax and hear the music on a big sound system. I don't go to pull a guy.
