• I see all these guys now-a-days who are like the Michael Jordan of bass playing... I've always considered myself the Evil Knievil of bass playing. I just go 'out there'. In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.
• When you throw things on stage, it is a sign of small and insignificant genitalia.
• This song, it is about a journey that myself and a good friend had a couple years ago, and.... I'll just say it, we were on hallucinogenic drugs. Sorry Dad. (introducing the song "Over The Electric Grapevine")
• Please don't throw your shit at me... unless that shit resembles a bag of marijuana
• There's testosterone in the air sons of bitches! (performing "Blue Collar Tweekers" at Ozzfest.)
