We write a batch of songs and they come out as they come out. It’s not preconceived. It just turns out there are loads of epics on this album. We have high standards for what we want to achieve, but it’s not really well thought-out at all. We allow ourselves a six week writing period to give us enough pressure to bring it out.

Some of Eminem's rap songs kind of have the teenage love songs like the fifties love songs. It's kind of like domestic drama set to music. He is really good storyteller.

As soon as someone else said 'You're good but you should go more commercial' or 'You're good but you should cut your hair' we said 'Oh, all right', and walked out.

I think that we are going to do various stuff like record live shows or put odd songs on the net so that people can download and say 'Oh I was there two nights ago, I was there'. I think technology's great if you can utilize it in the right way. It's good to be able to use all that stuff. I know I for one love all that stuff anyway. I love getting on the net and messing around. I think it's the way to go, its what people are into, its what we're into.
