Mike and I are two different people, so we can’t sing about the same things, but we both know about frustration and anger and loneliness and love and happiness, and we can relate on that level.

It was more like, “This riff is sick!” Then, we’d just scream over it, and the next song would be a mid-tempo ballad and you’d sing the way that song needed to be sang. We also didn’t care whether or not the songs fit together stylistically as a whole or a collection of songs. We didn’t really care about what anybody else was doing. We knew what we wanted, and we knew how to execute to a certain degree.
