Theory Of A Deadman Quotes:
I always like to be alone when I get ideas for a song, sometimes I go for a walk or a drive somewhere.
Tyler Connolly
My father had one of those huge record players that doubled as a piece of furniture. He had a lot of old records that I listened to like, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Supertramp.
Tyler Connolly
Make music for fun and that’s it. This business can take all the fun out of it and kill the musician in anyone. Stick to the basics. Do what you love or you’re doomed!
