PZO: What do you take pride in the most?
Dave: I would say the fact that my band actually just got a gold record, and Im
actually really proud of that. Im proud that my band can continue. Weve been
on the road for 12 and a half months, Ive only been home 2 and a half weeks, and
its still as much fun as we left. Everyones actually has grown a lot tighter
as friends, and musicians. Were writing new songs; actually really strong songs,
like everyones grown together and I have a lot of pride in that. Im actually
really proud of my band.
PZO: What is one CD you
cant go on the road without?
Dave: I would have to say Around the Fur from the Deftones. I like to listen
to that CD all the time.
PZO: Where do you always
look forward to play at?
Dave: I look forward to playing in L.A. just because its home. Its kind of
like the chance to see friends and family. At the same token it evokes the reason I
dont like playing L.A. <Laughs> Everyone and their uncle wants to get
into the show, and Hey, can you get me on the guest list.
PZO: What is the dumbest
thing you have ever done when you were young?
Dave: Actually, you know when I was a kid I broke into a---me and some friends and I broke
into a music store when we were like 14, and got caught. That was kind of dumb.
PZO: What singer has the
most annoying voice?
Dave: I think probably the guy from the Talking Heads, David Byrne. <laughs>
PZO: What is one band you
would never like to play with?
Dave: Id say theBackstreet Boys.
<laughter>
PZO: What is the weirdest
combination of food you have ever eaten?
Dave: Oh god, uh thats a hard one. I think basically any food you get from Europe
will be a weird combo. <Laughs>
PZO: What is something you
are not good at, but you wish you were?
Dave: Actually, I wish I was a better piano player. I really dig playing piano and stuff,
and I wish I was better at it.
PZO: What do you look
forward to the most when going home?
Dave: Just barbequing and hanging out with friends, and family. Sleeping. <laughs>
PZO: What is one song you
never get sick of hearing?
Dave: I think um. Thats a hard call. Actually, this song called Back to
School by the Deftones. I love that song.
PZO: What is one of your
favorite lines in one of your songs?
Dave: Actually, I like in The Way you Like it during verse Appreciate,
dont playa hate, congratulate.
PZO: Oh yeah.
Dave: I like that line a lot.
PZO: I like the way that he says it.
Dave: <laughs>
PZO: What would you never
get tattooed on your body?
Dave: I dont think I would ever get a chicks name tattooed on me. I might get, if I
ever have kids, I might get my kids name tattooed on me. I dont think I would ever
get a chicks name. <Laughs>
PZO: What is something you
would like to do before the end of the year?
Dave: I would like to, actually, I would like our record to go platinum and I would like
to go to Japan and Australia actually.
PZO: What makes you laugh?
Dave: Listening to Kris sing in the shower. Kris is the drummer. <Laughs>
PZO: What do you have a fear
of?
Dave: Nothing I am fearless.
PZO: There has to be something.
Dave: Actually, its not so much a fear as it is an annoyance. I hate when you wake
up in the morning and you have socks on, and you step in a puddle or something. I hate
going to the refrigerator and someone spilled something the night before and didnt
clean it up. My socks get wet, I fear that every morning. I put my shoes on when I
wake-up.
<laughter>
PZO: What is the strangest
thing a fan has given you?
Dave: Ive gotten a lot of weird stuff. Actually when we were in Europe I got this;
it was just a couple of weeks ago. This chick gave me a little sock, its like a
puppet. Its a cartoon in Europe. <Laughs> Its like this cat,
its this pink-stripped cat and its like a puppet. Its a really ugly ass
doll. I guess it is like a huge cartoon in Europe, like everyone has heard of it over
there, but no one has heard it in the states.
PZO: Did you keep it?
Dave: Oh yeah. I still have it.
PZO: What is something about
you, that you get made fun of for?
Dave: Something about me?
PZO: Yeah.
Dave: Oh God, theres a million things. I guess my long-winded answers to questions. <Laughs>
PZO: What is your favorite
possession and why?
Dave: I would have to say my car. I have a 2001 Honda that I bought, and thats my
favorite possession.
PZO: When did you buy it?
Dave: I got it awhile back; I got it when we got the advance for our record, I bought it.
PZO: What is the worst
present you have ever gotten?
Dave: Like when you were a kid you are hoping to get a toy and you get like sweaters or
socks for Christmas, or socks and underwear.
PZO: Yeah, that happens to me every year.
Dave: <Laughs> Exactly. |
