-"Both of us have always been fans of good riffs. You know, those Black Sabbathy type riffs something that's hit you in the guy. Neither one of us are real big fans of guitar solos, even back when I grew up playing guitar to Metallica, and Kirk Hammett would blast into a solo, I had no interest in that. I liked what was going on underneath the groove and the thickness. So neither one of us has felt the need to show our capabilities as guitarists in that way. I think it comes across in our riffs."
-"We don't look at it like we found a drummer we look at it like Rich found a band"
-"There are people who aren't happy we changed, I think there's die hard butt monkeys fans still out there."
-"Now any other day I would have normally chosen a 7-layer burrito over an improv exercise. But for some reason I had a change of heart, I'm not sure what it was, but it probably had something to do with my drama teacher seeing me trying to leave the school"
-Rick Jackett, Finger Eleven, rhythm guitar, April 20, 1974
