"I'd ask her what shampoo she uses.. What underwear she wears does she prefer like lacy7 underwear or kinda you know. I don't really know much about ladies underwear. I'd ask her to give me a rundown on ladies underwear."
Ben on Dates and Mates
"Some of my friends at school have, well they're only 17, but they've got girlfriends and they're kinda like hot and heavy . So we riff them off and go 'what are you doing?' you gotta hang out with your mates. Dates before mates... you don't do it. It's mates before dates." -taken from "On The Edge"
on Freak Show:"This album is more influenced by -we haven't been listening to any Seattle at all.It's been more like Tool and Rage and Korn and we've even been getting into Sepultura and a lot of heavy stuff. We actually got back into a lot of the old stuff as well, like Led Zepplin,Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and all that."
"We can go and play in front of 30,000 people and we wouldn't give a shit. We wouldn't be nervous or anything. But if we played in front of our friends we'd be like really emabarrased and really nervous."
Where do they see themselves doing in 10 years?"Hopefully still playing in this band. If not, we'll be playing in another bands, or sitting at home getting fat, sitting in front of the TV. Eating hamburgers, going to the beach."
