We guess they didn't know that we had that other side, and we wanted to show that.

It was definitely a weird experience when a song goes to pop radio like that. The rock side of things is bands on the road, playing, partying and doing it because they love music. The pop thing was, like, how can we make money?

I guess he forgot what we talked about already.

I don't know what to say other than we're flattered, ... When it comes to the political side, we're a zillion miles away (from the campaign). But we love customers. Boy, do we love customers.

I don't know what can be done . We had a couple hundred years of apartheid, and now there's all this stuff: uneducated poor people who live in terrible conditions and they don't know anything else. All they know is gang life; robbing and stealing is how they survive. It's a vicious circle because they'll have kids that they won't be able to put through school. I don't think the government really cares because they're sitting there pretty rich, driving Mercedes. They couldn't care less about poverty-stricken people.

Our fans are good, old rock fans. There's no trendy posing, trying to look cool and wearing the latest Hot Topic shirt. We got kids in jeans and T-shirts who want to get a drink, listen to hard rock and have a good time.
