Actually, it's funny that you mention that, we just started making plans within the last few days. We're going to hopefully do at least three videos for this album. We have tons of live footage and tons of the making of this record on film so we're hoping that by the end of next summer here that it will be out and it will run for about two hours.

Yeah, we're talking and I think things have been pretty much smoothed over. He's doin' his thing and is really happy. Financially, he's doing exactly what he needs to do. I think everybody's happy right now.

It can be. It can be crazier. It's not popular to be an outlaw anymore, so if you get into some trouble now you really get into trouble. In the old days you could pretty much walk into anywhere in the states with a joint in your mouth and a copper would say, 'Oh, you're a rock star.' Now, going from state to state, if you get caught with a valium in your pocket, you go to jail overnight. It's a little bit different but just as much fun.

Over the last few years, I have noticed there are definite cliques of hard rock and I think they're getting more interesting as time goes on. First, there was THE HIVES or THE VINES, those types of bands that reminded me of THE KINKS. Real stripped down, not out of control. Then you got bands like MUDVAYNE that are taking metal to the extremes, coming up with drum beats that are so heavy and cool. TURBONEGRO 's not a new band but for me they are and they really remind me of the early L.A. GUNS, just a lot of high-energy rock 'n' roll. Actually, I like a lot of bands that come from that part of the world. REFUSED, they're a Swedish band and they're really extreme. I wish it was more commercial. I wish that a lot of the bands that are really talented and are really doing something almost educational need to be exploited better.

Music always comes first in everything that I've been involved with. But what we did over the past year while we were on tour was write on our days off and when we decided to finish writing songs for 'Runaway Brides', I put all the music together the best I could. Then London [ LeGrand, vocals] had all the music for about a month. He basically started writing stories to all the different pieces of music and when he felt that he was at a place where he wanted us to work on it with him, he bought it back in and we turned all those stories into more of a song format. That was a little different. It was something new for me doing it that way. It's a little bit more artistic in the end.
