As is commonly said, ‘to start anything is simple; to develop it and bring it to a successful culmination takes great effort. ’
I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.
The way I create music is maybe like a painting, to compose in a more visual way. Basically it's the music that I want to hear- that's my inspiration and bottom line. I just try to get ideas from books, movies, paintings.
Improvising things is always changing. A lot of momentum.
I was playing in other rock bands. Any of those bands didn't last long.
So now I don't have time to practice drums. It's been five years since I've touched the drums.
I'm interested in stories and the dark side of peoples' minds.
I love being in a band. I love playing with other human beings. I've never practiced drums unless there was another human being in the room.
I have a gigantic ego and need to be at the top of the pile and be doing amazingly well; also, at the same time, I'm just pleased to be anywhere.
It is the job of poetry to clean up our word-clogged reality by creating silences around things.
I don't think we really planned it ahead of time but rather oozed out of our pores. All three of the demonstrative themes of Corrosion of Conformity are on there. The HardcorePunk from the 80's, the late 80'searly 90's mathy metal and finally the more Pepper, swampydoomy stuff. We love all three so that's what came out on the album and I think it came out magically.
