SUCKS ASS!!!!
Missing: </huge>dont take my being mean so seriously!!!! I mean geez!!!!
Missing: </huge>yeah so I'm so happy! I got my lip pierced....aga
to all my special floridian friends,
I love you all and will miss you more than you can possibly immagine. I will always be with you so long as you wish it. and dont worry....I will be back.
Two years isnt so long is it? we still have the rest of our lives to live, and live it to the fullest.
so these are the rules:
1. NO CRYING!!!! because you'll make me cry and I promised a certian someone that I wouldnt make this a bad thing, but another chapter in my life story.
2. contact me, because more than likely I will be contacting you.
3. dont forget. memmories are a good thing. If you loose them....your brain may be to old for your body.
4. live laugh, and love much. these are three main things to live by. life is not so much a bad thing. challanges make you stronger, and these days you need to be strong to survive.
things could be worse, believe me I could tell you all about it.
Coming here to florida was the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. It's funny how all the hardships in your life turn out to be the things that teach you the most.
Here I have learned how to laugh, love and how much everything you care about most in the world could be taken from you in a momment.
Always be thankful for what you have in life. never doubt a momment. things always happen for a reason.
I am thankful to have met all of you and will miss you more and more each day. but never to fear because I will be back.
xoxoxoxo
I love you for all eternity,
<3

Interviewer: Why did the 80s rock so hard?
Jade Puget: I can’t answer that because it would take an essay.
"I’m so rock hard. You should call me Block Rock chest. Or Chip Rock Block. Or something."
Q: Who in AFI can bench the most?Jade: Probably me, I can bench 5 corn dogs.
"Hunter's wireless is hilarious and would you be complaining if thousands of girls liked you? Besides, they're just using him to get to me."
"If you've got something to say about Hanson, say it to my face!"
"Anyway, as far as the sxe question, everyone has their own interpretation of sxe, from hardline, militant vegan sxe to someone who just thinks it means not drinking. Who can say what the real definition is? Maybe Ian MacKay, but he doesn't even care anymore."
"I listen to AFI songs quite a bit when we're recording them because it helps me to come up with new ideas on how to improve them. It would be kind of embarrassing if I was at a stop sign and someone rolled up and saw me rocking out to my own song though..."
"I'm not sure who your cousin is but I am familiar with the "crappy crew." Fritch had this kind of dirty punk house where everyone would hang out, all of us, Nick 13, Smith, and it was called the Crappy, because it was so damn crappy. We skated, fought hicks, and generally had a bitchin' time."
"I remember than Manchester show. I was skating around backstage and I bailed on this candy bar someone had left on the ground. It wasn't even a decent candy bar like a Snickers or a Twix, it was one of those weird English candy bars, like the Big Turk."
"In 7th grade I ordered this shampoo out of a comic book and put it in my sister's underwear drawer"
Question: anybody who cares to answer this please do when your new album drops is DreamWorks gonna you it like they did jimmy eat world?
Jade: I really tried to figure that question out but I think it's missing a crucial verb."
"I'm not really feeling Tropsnal, it sounds like an ointment for jock itch. Your band should be called either Ripping Hammer or Starving Zombee."
"On an unrelated topic, I know many of you have downloaded our album already because you couldn't wait, which is understandable
"You could hollow out a big pumpkin and wear it on your head for the entire week of your birthday. This will allow you to get in touch with your Halloween emotions."
"I haven't seen Tory Amos but I did see Tory Spelling from Beverly Hills 90210 one time. She was frightening."
"You could be a hit man for the Scorpions, your job is to kill people and make me macaroni and cheese."
"My friend hated the word "palm" and got it so I couldn't say it without shivering revulsion. It just doesn't sound right coming out of your mouth. Palm. Palm."
"During the recording of Black Sails, Davey and I played chess constantly. Why do you figure me for Monopoly? I played Mike Tyson's Punch Out far more than Monopoly”
Triple_Zero: to the jademeister hello jade, I think you are good at playing the guitar. Ok now for the questions: you use les Pauls exclusively. Any thoughts of recording certain parts using a different guitar? When you pick up your guitar what is usually the first thing you play? In an interview with AMZ, you said that you wrote 11 of the 13 songs on black sails, I was wondering which two you didn’t thanks a lot for being so coolio, my mom thinks you’re handsome -Evan
Jade: Evan, I hope you're not going to have a problem with me being your new dad, I think we can make it work. There will be a few changes, however, like no more late nights out with the friends and would it kill you to take out the damn garbage once in a while?
Jade: Oh yeah, and using different guitars for different feels in a song is definitely cool. Fender guitars lend themselves well to clean tone parts, they have a nice sparkly yet warm tone that'll make you want to pee in the sink.
Question: now that you guys probably have some nice cash now would you ever ever ever buy a mansion? Or stick with the midsize houses, like 20-30 thousand just asking and cars do you stick with the cool old cheapy's or go with the hummers?
Jade's Answer: I will be moving into my mansion as soon as I get back to Berkeley, it says Frigidaire on the side. It'll go well with my Porsche that says Safeway on it.
"...And we believe we have quite a bitchin' selection of songs, every one's a Lamborghini."
"I'm craving chicken and granola bars like a pregnant woman" "Hmm, corn nuts. Can't say I'm a big fan. I'm more of an apple pie kind of guy because it reminds me of sex and death."
You're only bored because you don't have a hobby!"
Gavin: So why don't you just tell us what you do in the band?
Jade: Um...I play saxophone?
"I think it's more like songs remind me of times in my life when I wrote them. Like Malleus Maleficarum, because it was the first song I wrote for AFI, or Totalimmortal, I was about to go out and get a cup of coffee and for some reason I just picked up my guitar and the whole song came out in one shot. Or God Called In Sick Today, it reminds me of Davey and I laying around on my bed writing songs for Black Sails. Hope I answered your question..."
"Actually, I enjoy both Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pink Floyd. Don't they say Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd is the best album to make out to? Personally I think its FsharpAsharpIn
"You know, I never stopped to think that the majority of our video does indeedtake place in my crotch. I must contemplate the significance of this. "
T: if you could be a character from the original Nintendo, which would it be?
Jade: It would be the crab that throws the rocks on Super Mario Three
"That doesn't sound like any Loose Change or Redemption 87 song, I think it's Enrique Inglesias."
"Spiffy is a freeloading deadbeat kitty who sits around on my couch, watches TV and eats all the Triscuits"
"Ninjas are TOTALLY SWEET, what with all the guitar solos and flipping out and totally chopping peoples' heads off." -Jade
"Being a sociologist, which technically I am since I have a degree, is not too interesting, although it depends on what field you go into. If you're really thinking of majoring in it, most schools have decent Soc. programs but Berkeley has one of the best in the world. However, I'd recommend working at McDonald's. More fries, less statistics."
"Next time I come to Phoenix we are so going clubbing Chanelle No. 5. I'll wear my pink sleeveless see-through nipple shirt with the Pegasus and rainbow on it."
"Actually we promised you dirt and hippy leaf cakes..." Don't write crappy songs, write GOOD songs, don't be a crappy band...don't catch SARS like all of us"
"I think Tucson should arm wrestle Phoenix and whoever wins, we'll play there." Question: Hey Jade. There is this football jock in my school who tries acting like all that. He called me a faggot today cuz I wore an AFI shirt. Should I jump him after school or just hit him with a bat or do you recommend something else? You seem like the type of guy who got in his share of fights.
Jade: You should grab his butt.Ask him if he wants to make out with you or fight you and then do the opposite of what he says. The last thread in which someone wrote, "Mooove bitch, get out the way" disappeared before I could say: BITCH! Watch out, watch out, watch out BITCH! Watch out, watch out, watch out, move here I come; there I go UH OH! Don't jump bitch, move you see them headlights? You hear that fuckin' crowd? Start that goddamn show, I'm comin' through Hit the stage and knock the girlies down I fuck the crowd up - that's what I do By the way, that's Mystikal. If I had wrote it, it would be far tighter.
"He's answered a bunch of questions, he just gets the most, look at all the Davey questions, and it’s a daunting task keeping up with it. Either that or he's still trying to go online with his Play station." -Jade
One day, when I was young, my Dad brought home a guitar. I was quite intrigued and went to pick it up but he said, "Son, unless you can wail on that thing like Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme or maybe Steve Vai when he was playing with David Lee Roth and he had the sweet double-necked guitar that was like two legs coming out of a heart, keep your damn hands off it!" And I never touched a guitar again. So to answer your question, yes, I answer the phone whether it rings or not."
"Tell him to come check me out when I'm shredding some sweet finger tapping solos and then he'll be like, 'Power chords blah blah blah' and I'll hit the whammy bar and it'll sound like a plane crashing at an air show and then he'll try to say some other stuff like, 'Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda' and that's when I fire up the wah-wah pedal and it'll be like 'Wokka wokka wokka wo-wokka wokka' all up in his freakin' face"
Question:Hey jade I don’t know if yaw read my last post but I swear to god im your long lost son. I think you knocked up my mom or something. But it is great to look like you guys kick so much ass.your music has inspired me and brought me out of the hardest times in my life for which I am thankful.
Jade: I definitely knocked up your mom so maybe you are. Sorry I was never there for you, son.
"Let's totally be best friends. We can walk down the street with our guitars and I'll say, "Hey chicks!! Check us out, we're rad!!!" and when all these hot chicks start checking us out, we can blaze off some totally sweet solos and then you'll be all, "Hey chicks, you wanna hang with us?" and they'll be like "Hella!!" and the we'll both be like, "Ok, cool...psyche!
"For finger exercises, I do the removable thumb trick about 50-70 times to limber up."
"I think they should play us on BET."
'A kid told me a couple of nights ago, in New York, that my sideburns are a real inspiration to him... his sideburns were very inspired by mine.'
"Upon further review, I've realized that my last post was neither interesting or informative in any way. Here's what's REALLY going on: We're getting super radly awesome close to being done. We finally finished backing vocals and the came out totally 100% neat. I made plenty of super cool faces while I was singing, like this one where I had my eyes all clenched tight and then I hit this high note and looked up to the sky and slowly raised my fist like Whitney Houston in "I Will Always Love You". Another time, I ate all the cheese bagels and Adam was mad. In other news, we had a photo shoot today for the album artwork in this old abandoned building. Here's what happened to me there: I stepped on a dead mouse, sat in a stinky pigeon nest, and set my glasses down in crack head puke."
"My favorite foods once upon a time were chicken and
granola bars, but now that I'm vegetarian, just chicken."
"Corduroy pillows, they're making headlines!"
Croissant: Do you still roll tight like a perm?
Jade: When I'm not holdin' shit down tight like a hairnet.
"Jeebus! Those are great things to recieve! I'd be freakin' stoked to get a lovely juice box!! Try getting a walnut. I got a damn walnut one time and it sucked. Totally. And I said, "Hey, this damn walnut totally sucks"
"Hackey bag foot sack always confused me, I could never figure out what the score was or who was winning so I'd always get mad and end up kicking it into the lake."
"Yeah, I had some embarrassing ones, Mr. Rad, Mr. Buff, Mr. Freakin Buff and Tan as Hell, BuffTan the Vegetarian, mostly stuff like that"
"God, remember Tab cola? It was so nasty, possibly the worst soft drink ever, even worse than Crystal Pepsi. I'll always think of Tab as the beverage of choice for child molesters because I knew this creepy old man who drank it and he must have been a child molester because all old people are child molesters"
Deadfishsandwi
Jade: Of course I'll be your friend; I'm also the cool girl version of me. Maybe if you changed your username you might attract more friends, and less flies
"I think most people in North Carolina listen to Hootie and the Blowfish. Last time we played there I was standing outside the club and this guy came up and said, "You guys are ok, but Hootie's from here and they're amazing!" And then he said, "They live right there!" while gesturing vaguely towards this dried up riverbed with some scraggly trees around it."
-
"If I asked you to sleep with me, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?"
I'll eat the hell out of a bagel, that's my job!"
"I mainly use Lineur Intense by L'Oreal but I also use the MAC "Smolder" pencil as well as the liquid liner. The L'Oreal liquid is the best I've tried as far as color and smudging but if you've ever seen me after a show you know that I'm not immune to running eyeliner.”
Perhaps you could call your cat Meow so it could say it's own name. Or how about Stupid Cat Get Out Of Here. That would really confuse it if you tried to call it over to you."
That would suck, his fists look like canned hams or maybe bricks with Lincoln logs sticking out of them. He’d probably punch my whole neck off. Luckily we’re like brothers so I won’t have to find out.
"Yes, I have an iron cross on my arm. Yes, I got it when I was 17. Yes, I would change it to Taz in front of a weed leaf if I could. No, I’m not a Nazi."
Sorry, that was I, not Davey that made that post; I seem to have a habit of using his name to pick up girls. *cough*.boys.*
"If you really want to see some I'll patty cake, you have to see Davey and I do it. And then watch us play patty cake.”
"We'll be playing in Minnesota in the Mall of America, at the mini golf course...in the windmill."Chro
"I saw Billy Idol about six years ago getting out of a limo and I yelled "Billy Idol!!!" at him, in case maybe he forgot. He gave me a thumbs-up."
"Even when I go see one of my favorite bands I start to get bored/tired/ov
Interviewer: Do you wear boxers or briefs?
Jade: Boxers. Briefs are stupid. Briefs constrict yo shit.
Interviewer: I was wondering if you and Davey ever fought over a mirror backstage or something, and if so who won? And who has used the most makeup on one single night?
Jade: Actually, yes, that happens all the time. Finally, I was like, "That's it! It's time to settle this make-up contest once and for all, I challenge you to a make-out!" Wrong choice of words.
“Is that a Carrot Top mug?...I'm jealous..." -
"You wouldn't want to get your ass kicked by Carrot Top.”
"Davey doesn't watch the road when he's driving. I'm sure if we crashed he would be fine and I would be imbedded in a tree. If he ever kills me with his driving though, I'm gonna come back as a squirrel and run up his pant leg."
"I still skate occasionally but last time I did, at our show in Hanford, I did a 360 front side variable over our rolled-up banner and broke every damn bone in my body. Ok, I only broke one bone. Well, I didn't break any bones, but I could have!”
"Stevie Wonder picks out my clothes for me."
The secret to AFI's awesomeness according to Jade: "It's all in the wrist."
"If you want Davey to sneak you in, it'll probably be in some little make-up case or something."
"I don't think the Montrealites have recovered from my yelling, 'I am a grapefruit! Give me all your croissants!' in French in the supermarket last time I was there.”
"AFireInside, to me, means these three other guys who drink all the soy milk backstage before I get a drop of it."
"Yes, I'm a vegetarian, but not because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants."
I didn't get my membership stuff! Weak! I stole the patch and armband from Fritch, though, so in your face Fritch!!"
Hmm, maybe instead of jumping off the drum riser you could just step carefully down of off it but make a crazy I'm-going-off-
"The whole time we were recording, we were trying to get permission from Winona Ryder to use her "My whole life is a dark room" part from Beetlejuice but we never heard from her so we said fuck it, we'll use our own spooky dark-haired girl and called in Davey."
"So things are going just swell, we eat bagels, we play songs, we take our shirts off and wrestle."
"I love your duck with all its ducky goodness."
On what the guys would eat for their last meal:
Adam: How pathetic is a Round Table pizza?
Nick13: I don't know, what's on it?
Adam: Probably just cheese and olives.
Jade: Pathetic...
Hunter: Sounds good.
Adam: You know, maybe some of my mom's tabouli, but that's about it. I don't know. Coca-Cola Classic.
In unison: "Hey...we're AFI...we're in the vault"
"I'd rather hump a human leg than a dog any day..."
"Maybe you should drop the whole "being in a band" thing and just go crazy while doing something else...you might find it easier to go crazy while working in a library or while you're waiting to see the dentist."
"I like Philly. Every building has at least one brick."
"I have so many black T-shirts, Fruit of the Loom gave me my own private jet."
"I have two cell phones and I don’t feel weird about this. No disrespect to children in third world countries that only have one cell phone."
"Humidity means that once you start sweating, you never stop."
"Why? Why on this hottest of hot and humidest of humid days would I want a cup of hot coffee?! No idea. Sorry, I just lost my mind."
"Jawas are scoundrels...I would have a Jawa as a side kick. Ewoks are too cute. I wouldn't want to be slowed down by grandmas while at the supermarket."
"I have a picture of the one god that I do put all my faith in, right here. [pulls out his wallet and shows a picture] His name is Molo, and he’s the god of moles."
"I've got a poster of Adam on my bedroom wall..."
INTERVIEWER: "Oh well I was just wondering because all your songs are like 666 and stuff..."
HUNTER: "Yeah its my phone number, I didn't want to tell anyone."
PERSON: "Are you planning on getting into your birthday-suit later tonight?"
HUNTER: "I'm actually already wearing it under my clothes."
FAN: "What do you want? I was seriously thinking of making you a silver spork with your name on it. How's that sound? I dont know how the hell I'm going to go about getting it made or even making it myself, but I'll try everything I can."
HUNTER: "A silver spork would be fresh. If you can't afford to put my name on it, you could just put some random numbers like: 4300756 or 5352841...unle
INTERVIEWER: "What are your thoughts on eskimos?"
HUNTER: "I love eskimos. They have 23 words for sno-cone."
INTERVIEWER: "Disco bowl or rockin bowl?"
HUNTER: "Cereal bowl."
INTERVIEWER: "What is under your bed?"
HUNTER: "A giant mirror."
"Sorry man, I was on the phone with your girlfriend. Next time I'll wrap it up before we meet."
"I'm personally all like, 'Whoo pirates!' but it's cool if you want to be all like 'Whoo ninjas!' Because ninjas are pretty hecka bad too."
"Me, I was never too good at dating. So I was thinking maybe a couple of tall-boy beers, sititng on a hillside somewhere."
"I don’t like photo shoots. At all. I’m a drummer, not a model."
"It's my baby! No one can touch it!"
"Dude I'll totally make out with you."
"Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me..."
"It's all in the wrists. Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge."
"I hope I die before I become boring."
"Yeah, it's true. I don't really know how to do drum tabs but I can make really good drum sounds. Something like, "boom ba boom boom bah". I'll leave the tabs for more experienced people. I'd be happy to explain any part if you track me down at a show though..."
"Um, AFI was conceived when we were in high school, we were sophomores. I think Dave and our original guitarist Mark were sitting around at lunch and came up with the idea of starting a band, which is kinda funny because no one knew how to play any instruments, no one really owned any instruments, but they decided it was going to be Dave singing, Mark playing guitar, Vic Chalker on bass, and they knew I had a drum set so I was asked to play drums. And we just started practicing. It was a long time before we played our first show, it was several years before we wrote a decent song."
"Overhaul me words, matey, for what I say be true. Blessed ye be with a strong character and a forgivin' nature. These shipshape qualities have steered ye safely through squalls to the captivatin' shores of the Magic Kingdom. I see favorable winds and a pleasant passage if ye charts yer course through the sea 'o life by this golden rule: Avoid common gossip and shun' the bilge rats what live by it. Mark well me words, matey: He who chatters to ye, will chatter about ye!"
"About time, jerk..." [When Davey said he was sorry for posting so late].
INTERVIEWER: "What are the most embarrassing things to happen on stage?"
ADAM: "Nephilim sweat dripped into my eye once and blinded me for half the set. I also poked myself in the eye with my drumstick."
INTERVIEWER: "Are you a pirate?"
ADAM: "Yes."
DAVEY: "Slipknot??? I don't know what the hell they're saying!"
ADAM: "They want to take over the world."
FAN: "Will you sign my sports bra?"
ADAM: "I'd prefer not."
“If I asked you to sleep with me, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?”
“Will you have sex with me? No? Okay, rape it is!”
"Oh yeah, and using different guitars for different feels in a song is definitely cool. Fender guitars lend themselves well to clean tone parts, they have a nice sparkly yet warm tone that'll make you want to pee in the sink."
"Hmm, corn nuts, I can't say I'm a big fan. I'm more of an apple pie kind of guy because it reminds me of sex and death."
"In 7th grade I ordered this shampoo out of a comic book and put in my sister's underwear drawer."
"God, remember Tab cola? It was so nasty, possibly the worst soft drink ever, even worse than Crystal Pepsi. I'll always think of Tab as the beverage of choice for child molesters because I knew this creepy old man who drank it and he must have been a child molester because all old people are child molesters."
"I was sitting here without a shirt on, absentmindedly scratching my back with a pen for about five minutes and I just looked in the mirror and saw that I had drawn a nice mural on my back. It looks kind of like a map of Wyoming, with all the rivers and mountain ranges, or maybe a portrait of Bob Marley."

"I love your duck with all it's ducky goodness."
"Hmm, maybe instead of jumping off the drum riser you could just step carefully down of of it but make a crazy 'I'm-going-off
"Davey doesn't watch the damn road when he's driving. I'm sure if we crashed he would be fine and I would be imbedded in a tree. If he ever kills me with his driving though, I'm gonna come back as a squirrel and run up his pant leg."
"I remember Adam gave me this crappy piece of binder paper with a list of all these songs for me to learn and some had checks by them, some had stars, some were underlined but I already new how to play them so I threw that damn crappy crap-ass piece of dumb binder paper in the damn garbage."
"I have a poorly done tribal armband that I got when I was 16, I love showing it to people because it totally sucks."
"Yes, I have an iron cross on my arm. Yes, I got it when I was 17. Yes, I would change it to Taz in front of a weed leaf if I could. No, I'm not a Nazi."
"Can't the lemons and pancakes just get along?"
"Jeebus! Those are great things to recieve! I'd be freakin' stoked to get a lovely juice box!! Try getting a walnut. I got a damn walnut one time and it sucked. Totally. And I said, "Hey, this damn walnut totally sucks."
"For anyone thinking about bidding on a Dork 7", please don't spend that much on a record, I'd rather come to your house and play those songs for you than hear that you shelled out $600 to someone who most likely doesn't even care about AFI and is just out to make a quick buck off a devoted fan."
"Thursday are great band and a nice bunch of fellows as well as one of my favorite days of the week. I haven't had chocolate milk in Rice Krispies but I did just spill a whole glass of chocolate soy milk on my pants."
"If you've got something to say about Hanson, say it to my face!"
"So things are going just swell, we eat bagels, we play songs, we take our shirts off and wrestle."
"Jordan looks pretty tough, maybe he should hang out with my little brother Gibson. Perhaps you could call your cat Meow so it could say it's own name. Or how about Stupid Cat Get Out Of Here. That would really confuse it if you tried to call it over to you."

"I still skate occasionally but last time I did, at our show in Hanford, I did a 360 frontside varial over our rolled-up banner and broke every damn bone in my body. Ok, I only broke one bone. Well, I didn't break any bones, but I could have!"
"Just because I had a few meaningless one night pattycake encounters doesn't mean I'm a whore."

"Yes, I've hit on Thrice before."
"I don't think they allow poor people to visit America."
"I listen to AFI songs quite a bit when we're recording them because it helps me to come up with new ideas on how to improve them. It would be kind of embarrassing if I was at a stop sign and someone rolled up and saw me rocking out to my own song."

“As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it, let it hold you until they come.”
“Bottom line: everyone poops, everyone pees.”
“Do you want to see my hunk of burning love?”
"A girl in Salt Lake once asked me, ‘Why are you wearing make-up, are you a fag?’ I then said ‘Well, if I'm a fag for wearing make-up, you must be a dyke in blue jeans.’ I also informed her that she was just angry because I was prettier than she was."

"The worst yet best show ever was in Toronto, the last time we were in Canada. The bouncers were being ridiculous – they were really roughing up these kids to the extent that we kept having to stop performing and reprimand the bouncers. At one point, I was telling a bouncer to leave this kid alone and this huge guy responds by slapping this little punk kid. Fuckin’ hit him right in the face, he fell back. I lose control, I’m freaked out and I told the audience, "this guy just slapped one of you. Get him." So the bouncers fled, and 700 kids started attacking them, the promoters were all over the stage. The show was going to end – it was fucked. I gained composure and apologized to the crowd, to the bouncers over the PA and told the kids what I said was really stupid, and not to hurt anybody. We started playing again, and the rest of the show was all for one, one for all. There was no security, so the kids had to watch out for each other. Our last song, the stage was just packed with 200 kids, singing along. When the show was over, the bouncers locked me in the dressing room, about four of them. They were threatening to kill me, breaking bottles and holding them up to my face. I almost got killed; it was one of the most frightening experiences of my life."
"The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much."
"In the darkest corner of your darkest dream. There is a place where all lost can be found. And in that corner, crouched in the cold, you will find me, and you will find yourself."
"The song is based on detachment, seclusion and separation, but I intentionally don't write in a way that is very specific so that people can take what they need to from my songs. When I was growing up there were songs that meant a lot to me, and then I found out they meant something entirely different to the artist, and it ruined it for me. I never want to do that to someone."
JADE: "We don't encourage our fans to send us dead things."
DAVEY: "Or alive things."
JADE: “People that like Ricky Martin are going to see our Latin song titles and be like, ‘Yeah, I'll buy this.’”
HUNTER: “That and Dave's pants”
DAVEY: “Yeah, Ricky Martin's got nothing on my pants.”
DAVEY: “I blow!”
JADE: “Davey is quite a 'demon in the sack' so to speak.”
DAVEY: “I like French Crullers. There's a donut that they make in this donut shop in Ukiah, it's called the 'Chocolate Fuck You', or the 'Fuck You I'm Chocolate' or something. You know what I'm talking about Adam? It's this big chocolate bar.”
ADAM: “Uh, no.”
DAVEY: “What's wrong with you?!”
DAVEY: “Well, we have a couple of stories about that... When we played with SNFU, Geoff and I and our friend Smiff... Mark was there too, Adam had already left, for reasons unmentionable. We were standing at the table selling stuff, and there was this big girl... She was really tall, about 100 feet tall and...She wasn't fat or anything - she was just BIG. She had this big smile and bright red lipstick and a short blonde flat - top - a bleached blonde haircut like the girl in Rocky IV, or whatever.”
MARK: “Like Susan Powter.”
DAVEY: “Yeah, like her! 'Stop the Insanity!' So, she kept coming up to the SNFU table and out stuff and saying, "Anything free?" and she'd smile. We'd say, "No" and she'd make this grimace, pout, roll her eyes and walk away. She kept coming up and doing that and at one point I was drinking Jolt and I had let somebody else drink out of it. There was lipstick on it when she gave it back to me. I said to Dave (SNFU's manager) after I drank from it, "That's the closest thing I've come to a kiss in a long time." And so, he says, "Aw, Davey, you just got to exert yourself." So the big girl comes back and takes these two SNFU stickers off the table and tapes them to her breasts, which were kind of large. Dave says, "Don't make me go there, ‘cause I will." She says, "Well what if I run?" and Dave says, "Well, me and Davey will have to catch you and tear them off. Won't that be fun?" I was just sitting there, so Dave says, "I'll tell you what. If you give my friend Davey here a little kiss I'll let you have those two stickers for free." She says, "Okay," and then he asked, "How about you, Dave?", "Uh, okay." - I thought I was just gonna get a little smooch...”
GEOFF: “So Davey puckers up and the girl takes her hand, puts it behind Davey's head, and this 80 foot tongue shoots out of her mouth and goes down Davey's throat!”
DAVEY: “I was shocked, I was crying, I couldn't breathe. Oh, it was horrible.”
GEOFF: “My eyes popped out of my head about three feet.”
DAVEY: “It was traumatizing.”
MARK: “And later on when she saw you what did she say? Oh, ‘I'll see YOU later.’”
DAVEY: “I'm a fucking idiot.”
INTERVIEWER: “Alright um, how about, what's your favorite pick-up line?”
DAVEY: “I don't have a pick-up line. Someone asked me that already, just a few days ago. Um, I've, uh, I've never had one used on me, and I've never used one on anybody else so um, I've heard some I like, the one that goes, did it hurt?”
INTERVIEWER: “What?”
DAVEY: “When you fell from heaven? I like that. [laughsalot] I would never ever use that but, yeah.”
GEOFF: “Oh yeah, ask us about Wal-Mart.”
DAVEY: “Yeah, ask us about Wal-Mart.”
INTERVIEWER: “What about Wal-Mart?”
GEOFF: “Well, let me tell ya. I went there with Dave and Mark looking for material to print patches on and there was this gangster girl there and she walked by and laughed and said, "It's not Halloween, you know." While she was walking away I said, ‘You could have fooled me.’ She came back and got in my face and said, ‘What did you say?’ I looked her in the eye and said, ‘YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME.’ I basically spelled it out for her and she was tough or something and said that Ukiah was her city and Wal-Mart was her territory and to watch out for her or some crap.”
ADAM: “That's basically why we left.”
GEOFF: “Then her boyfriend got in my face and said, ‘Hey man, this is my girl. Why don't you shut up?’, and I said, ‘well then why don't you tell her to shut up?!’, and he just walked away. That was about it. Oh, and there's another story about Wal-Mart. Davey and I were buying dog chains and this redneck, typical Ukiahan guy walked by, and said, ‘Hey look, they're buying their jewelry.’ And then Davey says…”
DAVEY: “That's right, MOTHERFUCKER!!
GEOFF: “I didn't see who it was. I looked for him and was gonna go up and say, ‘Yeah, they're for your wife’, but I couldn't find who he was.”
FAN: "Davey is the new Jesus!"
DAVEY: "I think it's the hair. Is it the hair?"
FAN: "Davey, I wanna have your kids!"
DAVEY: "Well I'll be sure to call ya."
