A lot of people thought Hell would freeze over before you played with Dave Ellefson again. How did you two bury the hatchet?
When I became a Christian, my life really changed. Unlike a lot of people who say that they’re Christian and really are hypoChristians, I’m not a guy that goes around, tells people how to live their life and then lives a double life behind closed doors. So, when I was forgiven I realized I needed to forgive. We had that incident with the lawsuit, and I forgave Dave for that. Several years ago when I went out to Phoenix on a business trip, I asked him if we could go out to dinner. He said, “Yeah.” And we sat down at California Pizza Kitchen and had some food and talked a little bit. I told him, “I still love you.” And he said, “I love you, too.” And I put that behind me, because he’s a little brother to me. So I’m looking at this as an opportunity to do the right thing for Dave and show him that I am a good leader and we are a great band, and we do belong playing together.
