Nick Hexum Quotations

Every time I'm here in New Orleans, I'm usually so (drunk),

Stay positive and love your life.

There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable.

Life's a bowl of punch, go ahead and spike it!

We've got the slowest 311 song ever, called 'Solar Flare,' which is a scathing political rap that [vocalist] S.A. [Martinez] puts over a really slow, heavy thing, And then there's also a really fast one called 'It's Getting OK Now,' which is [guitarist] Tim Mahoney channeling Dimebag Darrell [Abbott of Pantera].

The fish who keeps on swimming is the first to chill upstream.

It's generally an upbeat album. Sonically, it's uptempo and danceable. I like that people consider us positive, but I want people to realize that we're delving into sometimes painful, sometimes darker issues, but that we find a way to find a solution to it.

Other bands will have one band practice before they go on tour,

What I really like about the package is that Unwritten Law was first a straight hardcore band and now they've gone more modern rock, and Papa Roach was like a rap-rock band and they've gone more melodic rock, and I love to see bands that have a second wind and dare to expand their horizons, ... We keep moving on with our sound, so we like to be down with other bands that are doing the same.

I did think it was going to go that way. There was no other option than success. Every day I thank my lucky stars.
