favorite gig: May 13th AHS Battle of the Bands because
the crowd was large and awesome and we finally got to play for old friends!
how
do you write a song/music?: Well, first of all, I rarely come up with full songs on my own that
become NOH material (but I do write my own stuff every now and then). Sometimes I write a few bass licks I
like, show 'em to Chris, and together we write a song instrumentally. Most of the time, its the other way around
(Chris comes to me with riffs and I put a bass line to it...). Then I go back and write lyrics that fit the song. Most
of the songs I sing are ones that Chris and I wrote together. Billy sings almost all of the new ones.
favorite quote/lyric: "unexplainable things will happen when we really see into each other's
eyes, right?"
