"I love thunder and I love lightning. It's one of the sickest bands ever. That guy's voice, I mean, you know their one song, but you should listen to their other songs."Watch this moment
"Pretty impressive. I played a show one time with Rage at the Palladium here, one of the scariest nights in my life. They had, literally, riot police encircling the fucking Palladium, helicopters and I'm up there with an acoustic guitar playing sad alt-country songs to Rage Against The Machine fans that all wanted me dead."Watch this moment
"I forgot about this one because I've listened to their other records a lot more than this one, but it does have some jams."Watch this moment
