We're working on the new record, we'll be back in September, we'll work on finishing the record. And then we're supposed to do the tour. I mean, it's like, dude, you don't wanna play with me anymore? Fine. Play with whoever the hell you wanna play with. I couldn't give a rat's ass. Like I'm gonna get all jealous or whatever. But you know what?! Man up and give me a phone call and tell me what the hell's going on. You finished with me? Cool.

"I mean, it's just like� Everything's sounding like Black Label? [Referring to Ozzy's claim in a recent interview that his solo albums were beginning to sound like Black Label Society due to Wylde's involvement with both projects] "I guess everything sounded like Black Label when I first started with you, when I was 19. It was still the same guy; I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's Just Whiskey, Mama" is one I like because of the super emotional vocals ... although it might seem a little emo, which is not cool. Haha. But it also has a weird euro trash sound because of the keys, and that rocks.

It started out with this open guitar thing played with a capo on the verse along with the chorus chords. Just a piece of something, which is how everything starts and usually ends up completely different like in this song.

The weird verse drums were inspired by a pulsing kraut rock sort of Faust thing and the chorus was a drum part from an old song that we retired.

Usually I'd do the bass next, but I found this really distorted club bass sound on the keyboard that I fell in love with and added that to what we had and used it to make a bridge.

The bass was a pain in the ass because we technically had a bass part already with the keyboards, so after thinking about it for a week I had Jeremiah (bass) just ---- around and do some floor tom accents and distorted noise stuff on the verses. The chorus bass was just a rhythm thing I felt when listening to the song demo.

The vocals were also just put together from singing with the demo and the lyrics are really, really personal. It's obviously about a relationship that went bad, which inspired a lot of songs on the EP, but I wanted to do this one from the other person's perspective. At first it was sympathizing with her, but I think it turned out a little mocking. It sucks, but I think it's a reflection of my changing perspective on the situation.

Add some lead stuff which I put together before recording and some help from Buddy (drums) in doing some verse backing vocal parts, and that's it.
