get it back..(laughing)
Waylon : That's no lie!!! You have to be that far ahead of the curve, you need to be thinking "Whats Next!" And then you get so far ahead of what's next, your into 2022!! (laughing)
Skinny: Its always good to have a ABC plan, you better think about it...Like me I was going to go straight Navy or a metal band
Mike: Really
Skinny: Fuck yeah! I wanted to fly jets! I just wanted to carpet bomb motherfuckers! That's what I wanted to do. I was totally down with that...see I didnt start to play the drums untill I was 16, I was a late bloomer. I knew I liked it, but I was like Hmmm... dropping bombs on people would be cool,
flying over them at 40,000 feet!!
Mike: Well now you just bomb them with your music!
Waylon: Yeah , Skinny just bombs people with his kick drums!
Skinny: Ya know, ultimatley, I think I may have been more financially successful if I had gone
Navy, but I am way more rich with life, love, fucking art, people and family. You can't put a price on that! Unless you made some massive kick ass bombing that changed the world, people will be
listening to my music for fucking ever! Thats like writting books, being a artist, leaving a legacy, that was something I never thought of, now it's setting in.
Waylon: Its crazy, we go to Russia, where none of us, I mean none of us speak the language. These kids cant even speak english, and I can't speak Russian but I hear "All alone I hear the angels scream my name!" and they sing it word for word! But they cant even say hello to me in english!
Mike: And what does that feel like?
Skinny: Unbelievable!
Waylon: But seriously its like that every night, Skinny
knows,every night I am going to drop the mic and the exact same time, and they will sing it. And I swear, everytime I hear the fans take over and sing it, every little hair on my arms absolutley stands up!
Mike: I wondered with stuff like that with fans singing your songs, did it ever just become a common place thing for
you?
Waylon: No, and now they are singing the new stuff and they know it just as well
Skinny: It's like with Righteous and The Butterfly. It's some our best work ever, the camp is 100%
on point, that album is like, I feel like its my first album! Its just the newest freshest version of MushroomHead!
Waylon: Its bangin!
Skinny: I feel that fresh about that album! It's that strong and the writing is just......Just wait!
Mike: Ok Skinny, you are going to cause me to have to rush home and try and dig up what you are holding back (lauhing) You almost slipped again!
Waylon: See, Skinny is the commander and chief. He is the brain, he is the visionary! But finally Skinny has the soldiers behind him, they are willing enough to stare down the barrel of the gun.
