"It's an addiction man. Music really does fuel me, it's my lifeblood"
"It’s an addiction man. Music really does fuel me, it’s my lifeblood. I wake up and it’s there - I’ll have a random song running through my head first thing in the morning, like something from the 1970s or ’80s that I haven’t even heard for years. And I have dreams about music, about songs that got me started when I was a kid.
"Recently, when we were working on the Murderdolls record, I’d open my eyes and realise that I had guitar parts for Blood Stained Valentine or Bored ’Til Death running round my brain. It never leaves me."
"It’s cool with me, but it’s caused issues with other people. Ex-girlfriends would see me when I sleep - and I’m a deep sleeper, nothing wakes me up - and I would be playing drums and singing in my sleep. I don’t remember it, but I do.
"And people ask me why I won’t go out, go to an amusement park, do stuff, have fun. But I can’t, music is the only thing. It’s kind of like a problem, but it sustains me."
