Tre: Shut up. Shut up! JUST SHUT UP!!!
Tre: You gotta play for as many people as you can. It's, like, if someone wants to see you, and they, you know, can't, then that's lame.
Tre: It's the best church-in-the-title song ever written, you idiot. Why did you even ask?
Tre: I'd tell them to suck my ass. I'd knock them out, say they're probably right. [I'd say] you probably won't like this record. We doubt that you have the taste or sophistication to enjoy an album of this caliber. So don't even mess around with it. You probably wouldn't understand.
Tre: Tre Cole!
Tre: One ain't enough you gotta ask yourself, do you believe?
Tre: If you're not a 49ers fan, man.
Tre: California cheese!
Tre: Directed by Robert Downey JR.
Tre: Yeah, Virginia is for lovers.
Tre: I busted out my precipitator 2000.
Tre: I'd just chop down the one tree on that desert island like sacrifice the coconuts and make myself a geetar.
Tre: My dick is missing still.
Tre: You know, I knew the day that George Bush was elected president that we were in deep, deep sh-t. I knew it. I was like, 'Well, some sh-t's gonna hit the fan now,' 'cause, you know, the Bush family's been in the politics business for way too long to not have crazy enemies.
Tre: It's a good thing you can't smell farts through the tv, because this is a good one.
Tre: I'm just gonna conscientiously object to everything.
Tre: I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it's terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it's definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can never murder murder itself.
Tre: When I die, they'll bury me in an Anvil case.. with wheels. I don't push my drums down; I go through 'em. I use my body as a battering ram. I had some sports therapists yelling at me for not taking better care of my body. I got a concussion bake in Rhode Island..no, that's where I got thrown around by this bouncer. I got the concussion in New York City. The paramedics wanted to take me to the hospital right there. But I was like, 'No, I'm cool. It's not like I'm going to settle down. I thought it was funny. The thing is, I could never afford to just trash my drums like that before, until I got my deal with Slingerland.
Tre: Drums started to be the only thing I was excited about. School sucked. I was a bad student..too rambunctious, and I never paid attention. But bands were cool. I was totally into being in a band. I liked how bands looked at the awards shows, like the Grammy's, in their little sparkle suits. When you're a little kid, that looks pretty rockin' impressive.
Tre: Yeah, we told Nissan to fuck off, we told Apple to fuck off, we told all the beer companies to fuck off. Although we do drink a lot of beer.
Tre: I just sang a song on the radio called 'Suck My Dick Until Your Lips Fall Off'. Although, saying that, that does sound like a Blink 182 song doesn't it?
Tre: We're charging what we're worth and we don't think we're worth $22.50. We take a lower cut than Pearl Jam.
Tre: We don't like superstars and rock idols.
Tre: It's like - put your shoes on, dude. Fuckin' dirty hippie?!
Tre: Tap my phone, Mr. Bush. Do whatever you want. Fuck my ass too, it's all right. God bless America!
Tre: We were influenced of the opposite of usually influences are. We were influenced of what we hated -- all those mainstream 80's crap.
Tre: We put in some serious fucking hours to be considered slackers.
Tre: When people bring weed to our shows, that's wonderful. I'm the guinea pig. If somebody throws a bag of weed onstage, Billie will watch to make sure we all don't get fucked up on it, but I dive right in.
Tre: I hid the engineer's cigarettes.
Tre: It's a good song, toot toot, fuck you. Robert Smith, eat our dust.
Tre: We keep our receipts, kids.
Tre: Where do you hide money from a hippie? Put it under the soap.
Tre: I am drumma hear me roar! I am Tre Cool don't ignore.
Tre: You can't pull out the gun and blow away the telly anymore when there's something on you don't like, 'cause the baby might be sleeping.

Tre: I'm the greatest rock and roll drummer on the planet and you suck.
Tre: Kaching, I think we just sold another one.
Tre: Hey, I framed my crotch for you guys.. diamond dave!!
Tre: They were tear gassing the crowd and all these things. Next they're announcing, Green Day has left the building. Green Day has left the building. It was fuckin' funny.
Tre: Lick the goat.
Tre: I like to smoke a couple of hours before the show, to get in the right mood...I get mad when people are against pot. That's what makes me mad. It should be legalized. Do it. Do it, but don't give the control to the big tabacco companies.
Tre: I wish people would turn off their computers, go outside, talk to people, touch people, lick people, enjoy each other's company and smell each other on the rump.
Tre: All you do is get fucked up. There's nothing to do. It's like What'd you do yesterday?-Smoked a fatty and drank a six pack. You smoke a fatty and drink a six pack. You just sit there and rot.
Tre's dad built Laurence Livermore's house.
Tre can play the violin too.

Tre: I just go and play. It's not a question of resting or stopping or
wimping out or hitting soft. I play as hard as I can. We just know how to wring ourselves out. On demand, we just put in every ounce of energy that we have. It's getting harder. The bigger places that we play it gets harder to get the energy, because it takes longer to get ready and
you're there longer and it's boring and stuff. But we don't pace ourselves. By the end of it we're just wrecked.
Tre: It is, totally. The reason I just play the snare is that if you play the whole drum set when you're mad, it can sometimes piss you off more. Because it's a lot harder and you can be more
critical. On a snare, you don't expect anything of what you're playing.
But what happens is you end up doing something totally incredible with
just one drum. And then you impress yourself.
Tre: My hands are the first things I have trouble with, because the calluses wear off. Like right now I've got totally baby hands. Usually it's like
crazy calluses all over the place. So here's a drummer's tip __ soak
your hands in salt water every day for a week before you go on tour
again. It toughens up your skin. When you take a bath put tons of salt
in the bath, swim in the ocean, go surfing or something every day for a
week. It dries out the top three layers of skin with the salt, and
strips the oil from it. You don't want any live skin touching the stick.
Tre: When we're on tour I play all day, and then we play a gig at night. We keep a little Slingerland practice kit backstage, the one that I
actually use at my house. It has a rack tom and a snare and one cymbal
and a hi-hat. We have little teeny amps for bass and guitar. And we just
play backstage, like surf songs or whatever,because we don't stay in
hotels. We stay at the gig on the bus and hang out with the crew all
day. But I don't drum at home as much as when I'm on tour, because
there's so much stuff to do around the house.
Tre: In fact, we have about 30 songs ready to record. By the time
we get into a studio, we'll probably have 50. We made Insomniac a little
weirder to help us avoid the sophomore slump and so that people don't think
we're all commercial. But the new songs are catchy, catchy catchy!
Tre: We're not breaking up, but it's cool that people are talking about us. It's good for publicity.
Tre: I cut my first record when I was 10 years old for a band called Lookout. From that band grew Lookout Records, which is now a prominent label in the punk scene.

Tre: I wanna survive an avalanche, I wanna be one of those people a dog finds buried under a ton of snow, almost dying of starvation.

Tre' Cool: Roll, roll, roll a joint. Twist it at the end. Light it up and take a puff and pass it to your friends.
Tre: I object. I object to any killing at all. You know, it's terrible what happened and I think retaliation definitely makes sense and it's definitely one option. But, personally, I prefer peace. You know, maybe I'm just being ignorant and shortsighted, you know, it's true I'm not running the government, I'm not running the United States. I just don't think that killing people is a good way to remedy people dying. Martin Luther King Jr., said that you can murder a murderer but you can never murder murder itself.
Tre: You'd think we were really good at writing songs or something.
