You guys would be great together. Give them a call. Thats how it all happened. They were just looking for something different going on in the band; they needed something different. So I went out and made my own album and then came back. But it was very hard at first; I never thought that would happen once I left. Never. But that was what I had to do to get where I wanted to be, so it wasnt so bad.’
