The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.

I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.

I sound like an Englishman impersonating an American impersonating an Englishman.

Making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.

There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
