We had a lot of screaming in the old albums. Major labels don't want that because it doesn't play on the radio.

Everybody I talked to -- and this shouldn't be taken negatively -- I've never been around a player that small who has that much bat speed, that much hand-eye coordination, that much power. The ball jumps off his bat.

People at local shows like the hard-core sound and screaming.
