People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love music of all kinds, but there's no greater music than the sound of my grandchildren laughing; my kids, too.
People never ask people doing serious music, 'Do you ever think about doing funny music?'
I've always said music should make you laugh, make you cry or make you think.
There's no type of music I don't like. I think it's important to be able to make fun of all types.
I'm really only happy when I'm on stage. I just feed off the energy of the audience. That's what I'm all about - people and laughter.
For me, music is all about emotion and attitude.
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
If I do a song where I'm angry, when it's time to perform it live I'm not mad, I'm happy. I'm at a concert. But I have to somehow drum up that rage. That's acting.
I appreciate an audience that reacts to the music, even if they jump on stage and try to beat us up, I think that's a fantastic reaction. I think that they're really hearing something then.
On stage, it is a tremendous thing to be able to make people laugh. But one of the things that I have always loved is when I am in shows where you can turn the audience upside down and make them cry or move them. That is when things are the most rewarding.
