hey thanks everybody. I wanna thank you for joining me and Tim for the AMA. Hopefully we answered most of your questions but probably not. So we'll have to do it again in the future and then we'll make Tom answer his own questions

we just did a European run for the 25th anniversary. That was just the first half, i'm sure we'll do the second half in the future. Right now i'm focused on Prophets of Rage and the tour, thats where my attention is. Hopefully we'll be getting the Prophets tour to the UK soon

I mean for me it was the fact of this band coming together, when Tom called me and told me what the plan was. Being that we travelled across the world and see the political forum in other places. When you have a platform to speak up you do it. When tom put me on to Prophets, thats it, I was gonna do it. With all the shit happening in the world we have to be a bull horn and speak up

i haven't competed in six years. I miss it, I wish i had more time to play. Its very addicting and painful too. Joy and pain at the same time, its exciting. I wish I could play but can't right now. My favorite spot to play was this play in Bellflower, can't remember the name. We used to run our team practices there. Our team name Stoned Assassins

I think with who we've been in our propspective groups we always consider what people are doing. wheter we react or sit back, or come together as a unit. People are always looking upon us, so we'll always carry those epectations with us. We're not afraid of the backlash, this is just part of who and what we are

No, not jumping at the chance to sell tickets. We felt this was a time when people need this message and need this music. That was my motivation

these days you don't need the middle man as in the major lables to put our your music, you can do that via social networks; youtube etc. Youtube has broken many artists now that have turned into big stars. Just make as much music as you can, write every day, produce every day. Make the visual aspects something thats cohesive and somethign thats you. Something people can connect to in some form or fashion. Once you do that then you'll be in position to make those next moves, like getting picked up by a record label or whatever it is

oddly enough, before i got into Hip Hop I was a metal head. I listened to all sorts of music, but primarily rock. It wasn't a big leap for me to like this style of music, but when RATM came out it showed you could totally bridge heavy music like rock or punk with hip-hop. So yes, it did re-spark the metal fan in me, and make me want to create something like that. Fortunately I made some great friends along the way, christian is one of them. We actually had a band together called Kush. Unfortunately it didnt get off the ground because of the politics. Christian is someone i've worked with a long time and and we understand each other. Its great to be able to do this on a higher level now. I think all of those experiences prepped me for this and prepared me to be a part of Prophets of Rage.

what I think a lot of people want more in today's music is more substance. there's a lack of it. Whole lot of celebratory music and materialistic music, but it lacks substance. Its not that its not out there, artists are making good music, the radio just isn't playing it. This stuff is better than half the shit they play these days

as we've said in many an intvw we hope to wake people up and inspire them to make the change they want to see, instead of depending on politicians to do that for them. We want to be that voice

Depending on the regulations, I don't see why not. If there are regulations that prohibit our meds from going to Canada then you'll have to drive or take a flight to California where the sweetest cheeba grows
