Heres something else that happened that night: "and, i could only think of a three word phrase. and after soundcheck, anyone id meet backstage, people i know, people who work with us. all i had on my lips were those three words. i wanna tell you what those three words were. the first one, the first one i would like to define. clarify. the first word is We. and when i say We, i dont just mean me. i dont just mean the other guy over there on the drums. i dont just mean our labeling, booking agency, publishing, all those people who are here tonight, checking us out, watching what it is that you guys created playing with us. its not just this amazing crew who tours with us. and somehow its not just you guys. in this room. but its the thousands of people who are going to here about this show to. listen. and thats just to define the first word, We, thats what i mean when i say We. the phrase is this, i couldnt stop saying it the whole day. anyone i saw, they just said, what do you think of this man? i just said, We Did It. listen. every single one of you who listened to me say that right now, you can yell after that this is a celebration.
