Name three words that describe you
Stubborn, insecure and hard work.

Who was/is more important to you - your father or mother?
I can't pink, I have to say both as they are a perfect pair.

Bottle it up or let it all hang out?
Let it all hang out because everything gets too convulted and messy if you bottle it up.

Do you view the world through a glass half-empty or half-full?
Depend on the day.

You wake up suddenly at 4AM. What's up?
I would still be awake usually. Everything would be fine.

A record you listen to that cheers you up?
It's called 'Here Comes Everyone' by a band called Aloha. It's an amazing record, you should go listen to it yourself.

Something you've regretted doing?
Tattooing most of my body. I will probably get more done, but it's like looking back at songs you could have done better. When I get a tattoo I really like it, and then a year later I wish I could change it and do it different and better.

Best piece of advice you've ever ignored?
Probably my mom telling that maybe I should not get a tattoo.

What would be your eighth deadly sin?
Knowingly acting in a musically repetitious manner; uncreative bands are horribly corrosive to the human soul.

Religious, spiritual, humanist or none of them?
None of the above.

How long to you spend in front of a mirror in the morning?
Sometimes when I am trying to decide whether I enjoy my tattoos it can be quite a while. Other times I run my hands through my hair and I'm done. Five minutes to and hour.

Last time you got upset?
Fifteen minutes ago. It was when I was trying to do this interview and the phone kept cutting out.

What was your Plan B?
Being a guy struggling to be a musician.


What's your ultimate ambition?
To be as cool as The Ultimate Warrior. Seriously, the ambition is to always write a better song.

What's the record you never confess to owning?
There is no such thing as a guily pleasure, you like what you like. Why like something and feel you are not allowed to? It's not right.

Do you believe in marriage?
Yes.

Family or work?
Right now work, but hopefully family down the line.

Worst day of your life?
Ther are so many of them. I don't know if I can pick. As much as I like to complain, I lead a wonderfully blessed life, so I don't really want to pick one.

Proudest day of your life?
When we put the first Alexisonfire record out. Going to the store and buying it was a good feeling.

Biggest turn-on?
Laughter, at the of the day it's important.

Biggest turn-off?
Smoking.

Best childhood memory
Staying inside and playing guitar instead of going out. That proved to be a wise move.

Main hobby other than music?
When I'm not playing music, I'm playing music. Apart from that it would be skateboarding.

Worst/biggest vice?
Root beer. I cannot stop drinking root beer, and I know sugar is bad singers, but I love it too much. Not exactly crazy. Maybe I should start doing crack, you get awards in this industry for doing that sort of stuff.

Have you ever double-crossed someone for your own benefit?
I'm sure I have, I don't know if I can pick one time. I probably butted in line for cake, but when it comes to cake it's every man for himself.

What will be your famous last words?
Oh shit.

What would you like to be remembered for/as?
A guy who took music very seriously but not himself.
