There's no way to fit our entire story on this little page here. So we're just gonna lay down what we do, and why we do it - plain and simple...
We're a rock band. We're not out to make the girlies all wet with sentiment and introspect. And at the same time it's not our perogative to be louder, heavier, or more obnoxious than anyone else. If we accomplish any of these things it's simply because we woke up one day and decided that that was what we felt like doing at the time. From The Beatles to Tool - if the influence of every great rock band throughout history has taught us one thing it's that catagories are for pussies who want a safe place to flaunt their misguided creativity. Music = art = expression. And true..by nature) = chaos. Being in a rock band just gives you the right to piss a few people off along the way...
~Maxx:
"I tend to get pretty wraped up in the whole process of songwriting. Bass, drums, guitars, lyrics, arrangement - I try to make sure everything's working together for the song. But when it comes down to it the guitar rythm is where the magic's really at. That's where I really try to be extreme (not the band). The guitar riff is the bridge between the vocal and instrumental parts of every `Till Hell... song. I think Nuno Bettencourt said it best back in the day when he reached out to guitarists everywhere, schmacked them on the helmet, and said... 'Get off your asses and write some riffs!' That was probably the best guitar lesson I ever had!"

Hey thanks for the wonderful comment! yeah Dayton Aaron is going to be a handfull...but i have been threw a lot in my life and i know the ropes...unfortuantly...and he fucks up, i will know...thats what great about rasing children and knowing how the world works...the world is shitty..and since he's going to be a musician, he will shit on the world before the world shits on him....
I'd like to take this opportunity to point out just how big a dick I'm actually capable of being. I mean... My mother must be so fucking proud of me. Ah well... At least I'm a decent guitar player. Wait a sec... Aww shit.
