• "This might be more fun than any other time on the road. We're energized about getting new material. For us, it's getting back to what makes us happy, which is doing stuff that people can't sing along to."—Dave Foley

• "There were five years when we weren't talking to each other after "Brain Candy". The common denominator, as much as we may disagree in theory about a bunch of stuff, we all made each other laugh even in the worst times. The guys would still make me laugh harder than anyone that I knew no matter what I felt about them at the time."—Dave Foley
