Naw, man, you know we did but the funniest thing in the whole world to me is that you can sell 500,000 copies of your first album and everyone loves you. You can sell 280,000 copies of your second album and everybody thinks you suck and they are ready to blow you off. We are going to sell two million albums this time and tell everybody to go and screw themselves! (laughs) Don't print that!

Nickelback happens to be managed by the same management company as us and they are good guys, good friends of ours actually. Selling six million albums doesn't exactly hurt and a lot of people showed up at those shows and we kicked ass.

We really, really pride ourselves on our professionalism and not canceling shows and I would say the most unhealthy aspect of our band is that we eat a lot of junk food.

Oleander music is Oleander music. It might have made a difference as to how we would have sequenced it on other albums but the music that we are writing today is just a better version of the stuff that we have been doing for years.

You just worry too much and the industry is a business and we are artists and unfortunately we have to pay attention to the business side of it to the point where we are paying mortgages and we are eating but it does tend to take away from the fun and that is really what we are here to do. Now it is like, we just get up every morning and look forward to throwing down and getting off.
