Chris Kilmore Quotes
I remember when they called me to try out for them. I think we had maybe an hour-long tryout. Forty-five minutes of that I didn’t even set my gear up. We just sat there and talked about conspiracy theories and the meaning of life and what our beliefs are. I remember Brandon and I found out that we were both Aquarius’s and we started buddying up with each other. Then Mikey had some crazy, wild stuff to talk about and we just ended up talking. I think for them that was actually as important as my musical ability. They wanted someone that they could get along with and they could bare while we’re on the road.
