1: His first concert was Bon Jovi and Skid Row when he was 8 years old.
2: He pees sitting down when he is at home.
3: He was paid $100 by bandmate Paul Waggoner to moon a crowd in Los Angeles. It took him a almost a year to collect the debt.
4: He has a fear of flying and doesn’t like crowds… Two things that he deals with constantly while being in a band.

6: The song “lkcvjvhljbvj?˜? ?nnnjmkjijm” on the new Thomas Giles album is for his son and the characters are the first thing his son ever mashed into his laptop.
