this is an appreciation post for my favorite people in the world.

“These guys have been together for 10 years, and they’re still legitimately best friends. The first night I went out with them, the four of them went up the street to get a pack of cigs or something. I looked up, and they’re in a group hug going up the street, still psyched to be doing what they’re doing, together. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”

 “Oh man. Billie Joe from Green Day influenced everything about how I play guitar. He just made it look so easy. He was the first person I aped. And if it wasn’t for Green Day I wouldn’t have picked up the guitar. The band couldn’t believe it when we heard the news, I got the call and I was in the street in New York City and it was pouring rain, but I was just yelling and people were staring at me. And that was everybody’s response. I think Bob fell down a flight of stairs when he heard the news..”

“You’re going to come across a lot of shitty bands, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names because of what you look like, or because they don’t accept you for who you are. I want you to look right at that motherf****r, stick up your middle finger, and scream F**K YOU!
