"Playing new music, in front of people who've never heard it before? You might as well just take a crap onstage. People just look at you like, 'What the hell?'" - Robby. I love that one...

I feel like asking Robby if he feels like he just crapped on stage but he might not remember this quote and take it the wrong way...

Just because it's epic and every Goober should know it:
"I was sitting in my apartment one night, and I started playing a song It sounded like this: (Plays acoustic sort of like a banjo type tune.) Then I decided to slow it down a little bit and it sounded like this: (Plays beginning of Name) I kinda liked it so I went to Rob and said, What do you think of this? (starts playing beginning to Name) Robby said he liked it so we decided to put it on the album. So we went to the studio and recorded it. We figured we would stick it right in the middle of the album and hope no one would find it. So a couple months later I'm driving down the street in my car, turn on the radio, and I hear THIS (Play beginning of Name) FUCK.....that fucking god awful shitty song! So, I'm like, its over - we're finished! Then I'm in the supermarket at about 3 am one night and I'm cruising down the aisle with my cart....buying my peanut butter and jelly...my kitty litter...and what do I hear coming out of the speakers? (plays beginning of Name and stops abruptly, make a static sound, and talks in funny intercom voice) Pick up on aisle 6 ! (finishes beginning of Name) FUCK! (he pauses) So here I was - I had it all, no money, no nothing, but at least I had my punk rock image and my fucking Indie label, you know? And out of nowhere this song comes out and knocks me on my fucking ass! So I was like "Damn!" And to top it all off, a couple months later, I get this letter in the mail, right? I open it up and it says: Dear Faggot: You SUCK. I hate that fucking song.You're a SELL OUT. FUCK OFF signed , Punk Rocker But I thought to myself, everytime I do this (plays Name) you guys do that! (crowd goes wild) But I guess you cant please everyone, so I get out my pen and paper and write Dear Punk Rocker: Eat a bag of SHIT Love, Faggot
;D

As for “Iris,” Takac said, “We recorded ‘Iris’ and no one really thought too much until we’re sitting there with a 22-piece string section playing. I remember looking at each other and I remember (lead singer) John (Rzeznik) going, ‘well, we’re never going to fit this shit in the basement anymore.’” www.ecweekend.com/arts/story.asp?id=50819I loved this one. ;D

I love that one too ;D
This one if called 'the gutterflower story' from that 2003 concert, so you probably all know it already. but it's fucking hilarious. especially when you watch it on youtube "You see that little girl? Up there? (pointing to screen behind him) I'm going to tell you a story about that beautiful little girl, I'm serious man, this is a serious story.We brought her out, and we just thought she was so amazing, she was so strange looking, and beautiful, and she looked old even though she was a little kid and umm, we did a photo shoot with her and she turned out to be the biggest little monster I ever met in my life. No lie, no lie, no no lie, this girl PUNCHED me, right in the balls, and then told me to fuck myself, and her mother was just standing there going "oh, ha ha ha." So it escalated from there because she went around and she punched the photographer in the balls, she punched Robby in the balls. That was the one time in my life I said "Man, that kid needs a fucking beating," and then I felt really bad for it, because it was so obvious she didn't want to be there, so we, uh...fired her (starts laughing). But uh.she is pretty amazing. The best part, was when she threw one of those Ramon, cup-o-noodle things right in her mothers face (acts out throwing it). You know, on the album cover, she's holding this beautiful flower, and this, as God as my witness, man, she took that flower, and she ate it, she fucking ate the flower. So then I was thinking, maybe we should just hire a midget, get him a little high, and just say "don't move" Put a wig on a Minime, smear some > dirt on his face, roll him around on the ground a little bit, put him in a dress. "
