| "I liked the one when Kyle pushed me into a guy in a wheelchair. It was tough, I landed on this guy while still holding my guitar, he was still smiling getting into the show." "I liked Radio Raheem, and Meltrick Taylor the great welterweight boxing champion, a great influence in my life." "I think the only place we haven’t played is on Pluto. No not the Popeye character, the planet!" "Let me put it to you this way…Magilla Gorilla’s cartoon TV show only lasted about THREE seasons! And he was wwayyyy cooler than us!" "At the end August they go about their happy fancy free lives and we kidnap Paula Cole for the remainder of the tour." (in 1998) "Well today we were at a truck stop fixing a flat tire we got on the vast stretches of highway in this country we call the United States of America." (what rock stars do on their day off) "I had a lot of [alternative] titles, like 'Smile,' 'Thumbs Up' and 'I'm a Really Happy Boy.' (for their songs) "That's the beauty of this band. I don't worry about this band in that regard, because there are so many writers. It's really about the overall production and sound we're trying to achieve, that to me is the real tug of war, not, 'OK, we need material. Rob, go lock yourself away. Paul, go figure something out. I'll be here.' The material is going to be there. There's lots of things going on. There's no peace for Matchbox Twenty." "Was tremendous seeing all of our friends, fans and family out there...hiding under your cat ears or goat nickname....we see you all out there and we truly appreciate your support of these records we make and tours we all travel on." "So that is it....time to light up the barbecue, grab the neighbors lawn chairs and have us a SUMMER SIZZLER!!!" "I guess we hit Aussie Town next....box a few Kangaroo....hold a Koala and pet a young croc." "Besides that is just nice to hear from you guys...check on what your chatting about...and grab a few recipes along the way." "I hope this note finds everyone doing really well...and feeling really good...and if nothing else just making the most of the summer....from school....for a weekend away from work...find some time for yourself and use SPF 45 or higher." "Our thoughts are with you....our thanks run endlessly and the love you guys show....will always stay in our hearts...." "Much love to you all!" "His development as a singer is just phenomenal. You've got to listen to the twang in his voice when he's singing songs off the first album. It's like he's got that whole South Carolina twang thing going. And then you hear him in 'Mad Season' where his voice starts to get more mature. And now you hear him as this like balls-out rock singer that's just very structured in tone and very seasoned. That to me is so much more impressive than his songwriting.'' "They will if you get hit in the back of the head. Or if a train hits your car." (the only ways you can cross your eyes) "Two hours!" (how long they had to play in clubs until they became famous) "We have a band aggreement, signed in blood, that we will never perform Smooth. When I first heard it, Paul played it to me through the phone, and I was like: 'Oh my God! Rob thinks he's Ricky Martin now!'" |
