How did Godhead start to really take shape and become what it is now? Probably when we had The Method join the band is really when it became what it is now. It was around the summer of 96 when he joined. I wanted to add programming and more of a modern sound to what we were doing, and he was the perfect piece. At that point, did you ever expect you'd be this well-known? I hoped for it, but you never really know what to expect. You just sort of do what you do and hope that people catch on to it. How did you choose Danny Saber for producing 2000 Years of Human Error? Actually, it was really Marilyn Manson who felt strongly about doing the record. We liked what he could do, and at the same time, we weren't about to spend half a million dollars on the record, so we could do everything we needed to do on a reasonable budget. And we could do that with Danny because he has a studio in his house, so we didn't really have any time constraints or studio time problems. Do you write music while you're on tour? It's hard to write on tour. I might sit down and jot down some lyrics here and there, but right now we really don't have the time to sit down and write anything, so we try to write on our time off. Does the band you're on the road with influence the music? It can. I think it does, definitely, because you just start to hear it every day, and it can start to rub off. Where do you get the inspiration to write? Mainly from negative situations that have happened to me, and things that I see. But mainly, I take negative situations and try to make them into something positive. Like once I write it, and get it out, it's like an exorcism. In your musical career, who has been the most influential person? Probably Robert Smith. Do you have any weird/hidden talents that most people don't know about? I really don't know. Does touring ever become draining, mentally or physically? It can, like when you have 5 or 6 shows in a row, which we've been doing a lot on this Static-X tour. You start to feel drained after 5 or 6 days without a break. Also, when we toured with Marilyn Manson, we went to Europe, and being in a different country every day starts to kind of wear on you mentally, because you have to change over money, and everyone is speaking a different language, and it can all get really confusing. In means of touring in the US, what are the best and worst aspects of touring? The best part is performing every night in front of people that like your music, that's probably the best part; being on stage is the whole reason we're here. The worst part is probably the lack of proper rest. You have a CD and a song called 2000 Years of Human Error, which suggests that humans really aren't doing too good. Do you see the situation getting any better? I don't really see it getting better. What I wrote the song about, 2000 Years of Human Error, is that basically if you take all of the stories from the Bible and you take them at face value (like whether you believe they all happened or not), they're actually good stories on how people should live their life and treat one another. But no one really looks at the Bible that way, they just use it as their own weapon, to prove that something is wrong or to prove that something is bad, or to control people. Was the song Inside You written about someone you know, or was it just an idea you had? I think it was more of an idea, a conglomeration of ideas that I ended up changing around when we were recording it for the album, so it kind of came out as its own creature. What prompted you to record two different versions of Eleanor Rigby? Well, the idea of redoing was just the fact that since this is our major label debut and most people hadn't heard the other version, we'd put our best work possible on this record and show people what the band is all about. So there came a different creature, a different version through Manson and Saber working with it. How did former Bentmen guitarist Reeves Gabrels end up on Tired Old Man? Well, I met him backstage at a Bowie concert about four years ago, and we became friends. He had been Bowies guitarist for twelve years, and he had done Tin Machine, which was a big influence one me, so I thought it was great that he could work on our record. If you could do a tribute album for any band, who would it be? It would have to be The Cure, maybe Pink Floyd. Would you want to do a specific song? It would probably have to be Fascination Street, if anything.
