The funny thing is that when you have any form of presentation to your band, meaning you have the foresight to see outside of your creativity, you have a bigger vision.
'Red Band Society' is inspiring, funny, and an uplifting story that makes you want to make the most of your life, love and live to the fullest, and that's a great message.
As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.
I would have wanted to be a rock star, a lead singer, if I wasn't a model. I'd go touring in a bus with my band. In my next life, that's the plan.
A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.
Growing up I used to love bands like Free and ELO and the Rolling Stones. When Robert Plant got in touch it made perfect sense to me.
As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own.
I love playing with a full band, but there's just like a different feeling up on stage when you're playing with a smaller group. It's easier to play off each other.
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.
It seems like the older bands are bigger than ever. We get a mixed crowd where you have kids and old blokes like me.
The guys in my band buy instruments and sell and trade them. But if I have something I hang onto it. Everything is sentimental to me.
My son's taking drum lessons, and my daughter's taking piano lessons. One day they're going to start a band.
I didn't have the confidence to leave the band because of a solo career, or anything like that. I just wanted to grow.
The human spirit is like an elastic band. The more you stretch, the greater your capacity.
For a while I had somebody that came to clean my house that turned out to be in a band that I really loved.
There's definitely a solitary aspect to not having a band, and there are times when I wish that I did.
Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for Halloween every day.
I've grown a lot as a singer and a songwriter, but also as a person. I communicate better with my band, and our relationships are stronger and closer.
I think social media is so important; the young bands have certainly embraced that and used that to their advantage.
Over the years, when you're in a band with a catalog like Aerosmith's, you accumulate a lot of instruments to duplicate those songs.
There's also a lot of gritty Americana type of bands. I actually have a lot of Britpop on my iPod, too.
