Sorry if you don’t want to see this, but my diet is going well, and I think keeping track of my progress is going to help me stay accountable and not fall off again.

Papa John’s wife of 32 years has filed for divorce after Papa’s 30 day descent into pizza madness. It’s like when Anakin was seduced by the dark side. We’re only a few pizzas away from Darth Papa telling a delivery driver “I am your papa” and slicing off his fuckin hand.

Age 20: pit for every band I’m on tour with, play a set at 100%, then pit in the van when that heavy MF part from Domination comes on. Age 30: I slept wrong a month ago and I think I tore my rotator cuff.

A heavy metal record being number one in the US kicks ass. Like them or not, you have to recognize and respect what @slipknot has done to help get eyes and ears on heavy/extreme music over the years. Congrats, you guys deserve all the best 🤘

Every single recording I have ever done has had a 5150 on it somewhere. Every heavy band has utilized that amp in some way at some point. EVH did that for all of us.

We put ourselves through hell to for this. We recorded ourselves on days off on tour. We were uncomfortable and I think that shows on what we created. As much as we hope you enjoy this, we created this for us. It Comes In Waves.

Stage etiquette: do whatever you want and just have fun. Grab a mic. Do a fun spin move. Scream the wrong lyrics. Throw trash at Kevin. Fight Tom. Do a beer with Griffin. Stage dive in between songs when we aren’t playing. Be weird and make some memories.
