It was more like I might have been selfish.
Like, look, I'm just not getting what I want.
I'm not getting these guys to come to rehearsal.
I want the band to be really good.
I want to make a great album.
And they're crapping out on me right now.
And I'd be pissed.
But I wish I would have had the knowledge and the self-awareness to have acted in a more constructive way.
You know, obviously, particularly with Hillel, who died recently.
And so young.
And he was a beautiful, creative human being.
So, but I didn't know how.
I didn't know how.
I remember the last time I ever laid eyes on him, we had had a rehearsal that day and he called in sick, couldn't come.
And then I went out to eat that night and saw him at the restaurant, high as a kite, completely, you know, not physically ill.
Maybe he was sick because he hadn't gotten dope.
I don't know.
But I was angry at him.
You know, I saw him and I was like, hey, you know, but I was mad.
I was like, dude, we had rehearsal.
