When asked how the Sonisphere reunion with Bush went, Ian responded "It went better than I even hoped it would go. I'd been waiting four years for that moment that we had on Saturday to have John Bush back in the ranks, and it was an unbelievably, magnificently emotional hour of my life; it was really amazing."

The interview goes on with that theme for a while until the inevitable question about a reunion came up. Ian responded, "It's obviously what we want, and I think this is just hopefully the first of a couple of steps to make it happen. The show went great � we all had a great time; John had a ----ing blast � and hopefully this is now... the foot's in the door to make this happen again. But it's absolutely what we want to happen. I don't really see any other possibility."

When asked about Reznor's comments by a fan in the "Letters From Fans" section of Simmons' web site, Gene replied, "No worries. Trent grew up on KISS and cut his teeth on our toons. When he was recording 'Downward Spiral', he had two action figures on his mix console � Jesus and Gene Simmons.

From guitarist Joe Pessia: Once we finished the tour with Saliva and Drowning Pool, we all went our separate ways home to begin writing for the next record. This one ("Mind Control") was written early-to-mid process in. Usually when I write, I'll record the bass and a bunch of guitar parts to a Pro Tools grid to make it easy for Hugo to experiment with adding/moving parts. The original was based on the bass line I wrote for the verses...that was also the intro riff. As the song kept growing, I revisited the intro/main riff and re-wrote it to something a bit heavier with a bit more attitude. (I was shooting for something along the lines of heavy STP as I love Dean DeLeo's playing). Fun tune...I think the song also gives everyone in the band a little spot to sink their teeth into live as well.

From singer Hugo Ferreira: "Mind Control" went through many periods from its inception. It was actually one of the first songs Joe and I wrote for this record, and we loved it from the start. I was in Louisville, Joe in Boston and he e-mailed me the riffs to "Mind Control." However, they were initially in a different order and even slightly different riffs.
