There's something undeniably oxymoronic about a 'successful' rock n' roll band. Who wants to hear a bunch of success stories whining about their success? More importantly, what can be the drive behind a band, what can they have to rage against when they are successes? That's a dichotomy every successful band wrestles with.

I wouldn't mind being the lead guitarist in an incredibly successful rock band. However, I don't play the guitar.

Most managers in the rock n' roll world... don't care so much about who's in the band as long as it's making money.

Well, I think we're the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.

I'm not a great band member; I'm more of a band leader.

The reality is, like any band, you can never quite quantify who does what.

When the band begins to get a name for themselves, and the writers get assigned to bands, they'll hit somebody who just doesn't like that kind of music, or they love hip hop but hate guitar rock.

People don't realize who this band is always been because we're so young, and it's hard to get over that stigma.

There comes a point where it is just undignified to be a rock 'n' roll star.

If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.
