QUOTES:
" Actually we're sick of it now, I used to get naked back stage just as a joke.
And i'd walk into other bands dressing rooms and be like " hey have any of
you seen my towel?" Then we did it for videos and a couple of other events,
cause we thought it was funny. But now everyone expects us to do it. So we're kinda over it now.
Maybe we'll ask our audiences to get naked instead."
