"My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it.

“The nice thing about being a band that nobody knows about is that you can do whatever you want, you know? Without catching hell for it. That's sort of how we felt about the re-recording, too.
