"I started [Third Eye Blind] with Stephan Jenkins, the singer [...] He needed a bass player and someone recommended me. So I quit school and started writing songs with him. We failed for a lot of years and then Oasis came out. Stephen went, “I’ve got to be just like Oasis!” and started down that road. I just didn’t want to get laughed at the rest of my life, so I quit. I was always into the heavier stuff, but it was impossible to make anything happen.".
