Zombie believes long-time guitarist John 5 has the right attitude. "He's been in a million bands, from Marilyn Manson to David Lee Roth. He's been in this band for 10 years. He goes, 'I know it's not better anywhere else.'"

That's at odds with what he thinks is an immature attitude from others he's worked with. "Musicians are weird," he reflects. "Musicians have this real talent for doing the absolute dumbest things to their careers that they could possibly do. You give them two choices and they're always going to pick the wrong one. Always. It's just human nature, I guess."
