"We nearly killed each other! No, we actually ended up deciding on a few songs that not only were our influence, but have their own story. THE BEATLES one in particular, “She’s So Heavy” I wanted to do mainly because, first of all we’re all fans of THE BEATLES – that’s one thing we all agree on – and that was also one of the first songs we jammed on as a band and had a very cool experience between the four of us. So it had special meaning to us. The HEART cover that we did – “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You – used to be my go-to karaoke song! (We love two things; we love karaoke and we love bowling, cheesy stuff!) So it was one of those songs, where it was like ‘ok I know that one so let’s do that’ so we layed that down. Obviously, the GUNS N ROSES “Out To Get Me”, who doesn’t grow up listening to GUNS N ROSES of any generation?! It’s just such an influence! The SKID ROW cover, it’s funny, it’s literally like falling down stairs if you’re playing it! You can’t stop moving or you’ll loose it! You’ll fall off the tracks! So we just wanted to see if we could do it! And of course TEMPLE OF THE DOG just a freaking great track, but a little obscure. We were debating between PEARL JAM and SOUNDGARDEN, ’cause they’re two of my favorite vocalists, so it’s just like ‘do em both!’ It hasn’t really been covered before so it was a good one."
