Living in L.A., it's such a big huge place and there's so much of it. It's so much fun to be in Chinatown, or Downtown L.A. I was in Lynnwood, I was in Huntington Beach. I was in Venice. It's an incredible place.

Any time people are breaking outside the norm and playing something that isn't expected - that feels like punk to me.

I'm a conspiracy theorist. I can't help but look at the lunar landing and go, 'We didn't go to the moon.' We never went there. My dad worked for NASA on the Apollo missions, and I've always felt it's been fake since I was a kid.

Is punk rock really music, or is it really just an attitude? I get into that discussion with people all of the time. I personally consider be-bop jazz to be punk rock. And prog rock would definitely fall in that category too.

I feel so lucky that I feel the music is at the forefront of Audioslave, and the songs are the most important thing.

I can't stop myself from finding information that makes me mad and writing about it.

As a member of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave and now Prophets of Rage I'm pretty used to coming on stage and there's a full house.

If Rage gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it'll be interesting to see who shows up.

For me, I've always been intimidated by the computer coming from the era of record industry and record stores and buying records and looking at album covers, waiting in line for records when they came out and then ultimately being successful in a band where we recording pre-computer era.

To me, music is not a stunt. Music is not a joke. I take every lick of music that I've ever played very serious.

I like 'Discipline.' That's my favorite King Crimson album.
