“We’ve been doing festival gigs all summer and the music just sucks so bad,” Melchiondo says. “It completely blows my mind just how spineless the music is where there’ll be 115 bands on four stages and there’s not one fucking guy up there playing a guitar solo with distortion.”

“I thought Pearl Jam was the wimpiest shit I ever heard when it came along,” Melchiondo says. “But I will eat shit and say that while I was a total hater then, now it comes on and it sounds amazing.”
