| ''When Rob first started in this band, he knew like three chords. I'm not even being a wiseass. It showed on our first album because there are like three or four chords in every song. Then he started playing more and more guitar, but he started playing a lot more piano, and he was writing a lot of stuff on piano as well. A good example is 'You Won't Be Mine' off of 'Mad Season.''' ''You can now kind of tell that his song structure gets a lot more complex. And that lends to more sophisticated sounding songs, which he still lends his pop sensibility and his melodic catchiness and friendliness to. That's what I've noticed as being an insider-outsider viewer of the Robby T. show.'' ''We notice when we play our shows live, that really feels more like the right representation of what we do and who we are. What we wanted to do was go out and go into the studio and try to bottle the essence of matchbox twenty per se.'' "We were lucky to have an open date on Sunday, and since it's Mother's Day, we're encouraging all our Boston fans to treat Mom to a night out with matchbox twenty. Needless to say, we were more than happy to shift the date to accomodate the playoff battle between these two great teams. Now what do we have to do to score some tickets?" "Keep smiling, enjoy your life, and always remember...nothing is to heavy. Just have fun!" Adam: Do we have any mother's here? Do we have any daughters? Rob: What are you doing? Adam: I'm looking to see who's a mother and who's single. Rob: You're looking for the single mothers?!?" (Boston May 11, 2003) "But enough of mutants....let's talk about my FAVORITE word. Love." "We ALL want to see Pookie dance." "I just want the rooms to be as pleasant as possible...or I will fetch my Grandma on all you. She used to kick field goals for the Green Bay Packers in the early 60's." "Personally, I am looking forward to taking a few Home Ec. courses along the way to sharpen my pie making skills and of course one can NEVER sew well enough. ::Prick!:: Excuse me? DAMN! Stuck my finger again with that sewing needle. Oh." "Please bring your own chips." (to the concerts) "Shows are going great! I tell ya, between the American and Australian audiences...I could bottle you all for a SWEET smelling bottle of LOVE!" "Seems like all is going well on the GD board. Love that you guys have control over your world there...important to us that YOU guys know that place is for YOU all....so whatever you need...except a new rug....PLEASE ask!" "I have to say, I know it is OUR job to entertain YOU guys....but HELL if some of you don't do your BESTEST to entertain US! Makes the night seem a bit more interactive." "This man is going to get some kind of a food substance and beverage to sip and think about making sure YOU are all happy!" "No really, we love Rob, he's our boy, he's the man!" "I just build." (in response to writer's block, LMAO) "I like to sit around the bus, drink some sangria, and watch old Tony Orlando and Dawn concert footage." "He's not a ass." (about Superman) "I think it's funny. It's hard to appreciate,It's weird, when these people are really young it's like what are you doing, and when they're older it's a little disturbing." (in response to female streakers/flashers) "You know what I always say, The Freshman. A Verve Pipe song. How's It Going To Be?" (fave song to play live) "I'd like to know the date the Mexicans were fighting, who were they fighting with. And why. The first caller, wins. Because we're all drinking, and no one knows why." (about Cinco de Mayo) "That one day I'm going to wake up, right?" (his worst fear) "I'm lucky to get thru one." (Can he eat 10 Cheeseburgers when it is 50cent Cheeseburger sunday at mcdonalds?) "Like an angel!" (how Paul sings) |
