PZO:
What do you take pride in the most?
Dave: I would say the fact that my band actually just got a gold record,
and Im actually really proud of that. Im proud that my band
can continue. Weve been on the road for 12 and a half months, Ive
only been home 2 and a half weeks, and its still as much fun as
we left. Everyones actually has grown a lot tighter as friends,
and musicians. Were writing new songs; actually really strong songs,
like everyones grown together and I have a lot of pride in that.
Im actually really proud of my band.
PZO:
What is one CD you cant go on the road without?
Dave: I would have to say Around the Fur from the Deftones.
I like to listen to that CD all the time.
PZO:
Where do you always look forward to play at?
Dave: I look forward to playing in L.A. just because its home. Its
kind of like the chance to see friends and family. At the same token it
evokes the reason I dont like playing L.A. <Laughs>
Everyone and their uncle wants to get into the show, and Hey, can
you get me on the guest list.
PZO:
What is the dumbest thing you have ever done when you were young?
Dave: Actually, you know when I was a kid I broke into a---me and some
friends and I broke into a music store when we were like 14, and got caught.
That was kind of dumb.
PZO:
What singer has the most annoying voice?
Dave: I think probably the guy from the Talking Heads, David Byrne.
<laughs>
PZO:
What is one band you would never like to play with?
Dave: Id say theBackstreet Boys.
<laughter>
PZO:
What is the weirdest combination of food you have ever eaten?
Dave: Oh god, uh thats a hard one. I think basically any food you
get from Europe will be a weird combo. <Laughs>
PZO:
What is something you are not good at, but you wish you were?
Dave: Actually, I wish I was a better piano player. I really dig playing
piano and stuff, and I wish I was better at it.
PZO:
What do you look forward to the most when going home?
Dave: Just barbequing and hanging out with friends, and family. Sleeping.
<laughs>
PZO:
What is one song you never get sick of hearing?
Dave: I think um. Thats a hard call. Actually, this song called
Back to School by the Deftones. I love that song.
PZO:
What is one of your favorite lines in one of your songs?
Dave: Actually, I like in The Way you Like it during verse
Appreciate, dont playa hate, congratulate.
PZO: Oh yeah.
Dave: I like that line a lot.
PZO: I like the way that he says it.
Dave: <laughs>
PZO:
What would you never get tattooed on your body?
Dave: I dont think I would ever get a chicks name tattooed on me.
I might get, if I ever have kids, I might get my kids name tattooed on
me. I dont think I would ever get a chicks name. <Laughs>
PZO:
What is something you would like to do before the end of the year?
Dave: I would like to, actually, I would like our record to go platinum
and I would like to go to Japan and Australia actually.
PZO:
What makes you laugh?
Dave: Listening to Kris sing in the shower. Kris is the drummer. <Laughs>
PZO:
What do you have a fear of?
Dave: Nothing I am fearless.
PZO: There has to be something.
Dave: Actually, its not so much a fear as it is an annoyance. I
hate when you wake up in the morning and you have socks on, and you step
in a puddle or something. I hate going to the refrigerator and someone
spilled something the night before and didnt clean it up. My socks
get wet, I fear that every morning. I put my shoes on when I wake-up.
<laughter>
PZO:
What is the strangest thing a fan has given you?
Dave: Ive gotten a lot of weird stuff. Actually when we were in
Europe I got this; it was just a couple of weeks ago. This chick gave
me a little sock, its like a puppet. Its a cartoon in Europe.
<Laughs> Its like this cat, its this pink-stripped
cat and its like a puppet. Its a really ugly ass doll. I guess
it is like a huge cartoon in Europe, like everyone has heard of it over
there, but no one has heard it in the states.
PZO: Did you keep it?
Dave: Oh yeah. I still have it.
PZO:
What is something about you, that you get made fun of for?
Dave: Something about me?
PZO: Yeah.
Dave: Oh God, theres a million things. I guess my long-winded answers
to questions. <Laughs>
PZO:
What is your favorite possession and why?
Dave: I would have to say my car. I have a 2001 Honda that I bought, and
thats my favorite possession.
PZO: When did you buy it?
Dave: I got it awhile back; I got it when we got the advance for our record,
I bought it.
PZO:
What is the worst present you have ever gotten?
Dave: Like when you were a kid you are hoping to get a toy and you get
like sweaters or socks for Christmas, or socks and underwear.
PZO: Yeah, that happens to me every year.
Dave: <Laughs> Exactly.
