They have to do with all the different aspects of being in a band. I always want to make what we do better. As long as you have that mind-set, you won't get stale. You only have to worry about that when you get this jaded attitude that you've made it, that you're established and that you can pretty much go and do the same thing for as long as you want. That, to me, is living death.”
Tom Hamilton

“No dissenter rides in his coach for three generations; he infallibly falls into the Establishment”
