I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.

I think that commercials can really ruin a song. You know that the person sold the song for a good deal of money, and that was the tradeoff. But, music and picture can marry in a beautiful way, and the reverse also.

I hate the industry even more now, no bands get nurtured anymore. Labels only spend money promoting acts they know will be Top Ten. I find it offensive spending $2 million on a video.

I rarely listen to commercial radio, and when I do, I'm shocked by how many ads there are, and how annoying they are, and how bad the radio station usually is.

Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.

Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.

Some people misconstrue our band just to be a commercial venture.

Commercial music, for the most part, is popular music and you always have to keep that in mind.

Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that.
