My tastes lean toward the more negative, angry and eclectic.Collection: Anger
Like all of us, we have pretty serious mood swings.
I think that most artists are leaning towards fragile idiots.
Peter has the biggest mouth, so it goes to be a mouth contest.
Being in a band is far more than playing an instrument. It's surviving. It's getting an album together.
I definitely have favourites in terms of albums.
I do my job in Type O Negative.
I just want to focus on one thing at a time.
I lean towards traditionally what people would consider the more negative side of life.
I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.
I really believe that we're a studio-based band, and I have always thought that.
I think the fact is that World Coming Down was just a really hard album for people to deal with.
I used to love Bach.
I was for a minor amount of time but I was probably a better pianist at 15 than I am now.
In regards to the reaction to Life Is Killing Me, I would say that I'm never happy about anything.
No, I'm sure that there's a lot of L.A. bands out there.
One album has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.
So right off, I'm going to have to say that a lot of people have been comparing Life Is Killing Me to World Coming Down, and I think a lot of those people equate art and sales figures, and I don't do that.
That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.
The World Coming Down tour was around four years ago, and other than the wear and tear we've all sustained in the last four years, nothing much has changed.
To compare the albums is like trying to compare apples and oranges.
We do do such a variety, especially if you consider all five records.
We don't pump out albums eight months apart from each other.
We seem to do better in the studio than we do in a live environment.
We still have a very good core following, and the shows have been almost one hundred percent sold out.
We think that we have great potential but never reach it.
We'll look at a bunch of deals that are being offered to us, and we decide where to go and continue on I guess. It's not too early to start considering our options with other labels.
We're from New York, so we have a decent following.
We're not the millionaires that people think when they see busses.
Well, I love Pink Floyd, so I wouldn't be offended by it. I only intentionally robbed them three or four times.
Yeah, I guess everyone's had a reasonable amount of sex in their lives, some less than others.
You know, musicians aren't very stable, in case you hadn't noticed.
