Come as you are by Nirvana

Anything. Prog Rock, Metal, Shred, Latin Jazz haha kids songs!
You're a pro at playing live shows now, but what was your first one like?
It was with my dad when i was young jamming with his band on new years eve. George Thoorogood who did "bad to the bone" sat in with us and played some Van Morrison tunes. Great night!
To date, what is the most memorable show you have played?
God..... Um....... So many. Knebworth was pretty memorable. The Olympics with Avril. Budokon. They sometimes blur together but I remember bits from all of them.
Any updates on when your new official site will be up and running? I am meeting with Studio XIV today to go over the final layout. With sites like myspace, facebook, and twitter the website became less important to me but now I want to get new stuff up for everyone. Sould be up by Sept 1!
Fan Questions
Why have you taken on LOP ahead of all the other artists/bands you could work with? What's their hook?
LOP was just a record I got hired to play on originally. One day Robb called me to have lunch and told me about his ideas for this different approach to a band that has never been done before. I loved his idea and we basically just started working on it. The momentum has been huge which has just made it take more of my time and become a full time thing. We are all having a ton of fun and are very happy with the progression.
What other projects besides Lights Over Paris are you a part of these days?
I still just song write and play on albums along with working with them.
Who is the most overrated recent musician? And who's the most underrated one? Musician or "artist"?
Overated to me: Mike Posner, Iyaz, Kesha
Underrated: Bruno Mars, Karnivool, Black Keys
We're still waiting for your guitar videos and to hear you sing, any updates on those?
Listen, I work everyday all day. I try to get as much stuff out there but I am not one of those people to put 8 million videos of me doing bullshit online. I hope to have some substance and show some cool stuff soon.
Do you have any plans to come over to the UK/Europe?
Yes. Later this year.
Any plans to tour with Avril and Evan?
We are working on some crazy cool ideas!!!
What are your thoughts on the new Sum41 album?
Amazing! Sum41 need to fuck up all those overrated assholes I mentioned.
How many tattoos do you have? Which one is your favorite and why?
3. Not sure if there is a favorite. The next one will be the favorite!
