When I first heard Korn, they blew me away, and I've been a fan ever since.

I'm so excited 'Doctor Who''s coming back. It's a great show, wild and exciting. I watched it as a kid, and it freaked me out.

One of the things I love about this job is meeting different people.

'Vol. 3' is the most pleasing of our albums to me. And I want to keep making albums that are different from each other. And you can bet all our albums will have that twist that only Slipknot can do.

'Vol. 3' has broken down more barriers for us. We worked with different styles on this album. It's more musically mature in arrangement and is conceptual.

The music has always been the first and foremost element in our career.

I'm not more into one scene than any other, and that's why I feel very lucky to be able to go into two different styles of music and be successful at both.

I'm just as much into Emperor as I am Alice Cooper.

I actually played guitar before I played drums. And I always play guitar on the Slipknot albums as well, as well as being responsible for a lot of the songwriting.

I've been a fan of Zombie's since the beginning. I've toured with them and have always wanted to play for them.

Slipknot is hard work; I don't care what anybody says.

That's the way a musician is. You're isolated, in a weird way, because music is haunting you as much as it's loving you. It's non-stop.

I sleep music. I wake up, and there's a riff in my head. Every step I take, there's a riff, a beat, or something.

I'm used to living out of a suitcase.

Without Metallica, I wouldn't be doing what I am doing. I have every Metallica record, of course, and I would spend hours on drums in my parents' basement with the stereo behind me, cranking those records and learning Lars' drum beats, beat by beat.

I just can't bring myself to see Sabbath without Bill Ward, because he was such an integral part of that band.

Proper Sabbath is Sabbath with Bill Ward. I'm sorry, it just is.

There is nothing whatsoever friendly about Slipknot. Corey may have a singing voice, but it's always been done with so much passion that it's always been brutal.

That's where I learned, basically, all my skills from the drumming that I do - most of my style comes straight from death metal.

Basically, death metal, as a musician on my part, it just changed everything as far as the technicality and where you could take music.

Heavy music is really getting its due. With nu-metal fallen by the wayside, real metal has started to surface.

Every day, I look at life different; I don't take things for granted.

Making the 'Sulfur' video continued our quest to make a video different and visually stimulating.

It's not about the names or the faces: it's about the music we are creating.
