Steven Seagal or Chuck Norris and why?


Chuck Norris because the jokes are obviously better.


What are you looking forward to the most about playing at the Soundwave Festival?


Every day of Soundwave is so much fun.  It's amazing to be so far away from home yet the kids are awesome and you know a bunch of the bands.  I always find the flight from California to Australia to be amazing with just so many friends onboard.  It's quite a site to see.


List 3 essential items that you don't leave home without.


Contact Lenses, Laptop, Clean socks and fudgies


Favorite/funniest festival experience?


I think it was at Soundwave 07 when we had met Mark Hoppus for the first time in the airport.  When were in the airport before we go through customs we have to the throw out any fruit or nuts we had on the plane.  Our keyboardist had some yogurt covered raisins that he was offering to everyone but not Mark.  Mark decided to give us shit for the remainder of the tour due to these raisins.  For the last show of soundwave we put a bag of raisins and a container of yogurt at marks mic stand that said "make your own fucking yogurt covered raisins"


The best 80's movie other than 'This Is Spinal Tap' ?


The Toy with Richard Prior


Who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God?


Trick question, Lemmy is god!
