My sound is more like a drummer, I�m a percussion sounding bass player. A lot of times people think that what their hearing is drums, when its actually the bass - Fieldy
For instance when Les Claypool (of Primus) heard some of our stuff like �B.B.K� he said �that�s a pretty cool double kick�. The only thing that inspires me is hip-hop all West Coast hip-hop. Not that I favour West Coast over East Coast its just what inspires me, just the beats and style. "I play when I have to, I don't practice ever. If were going to write a song, I'll play, but I don't sit around and play my bass. Not even on my most boring day! I used to practice back in the day. But, I mean, I'm not about practicing today. I'm more about creating songs and we only do that when we're in a room together. I don't just sit around watching TV practicing or trying to make songs up." - Fieldy
Before he was in the band L.A.P.D he worked as a carpet cleaner, his other forms of employment include being employed as a door-to-door Plant Salesman. "I did good the first day, I was like 'Yeah! I got this down'. I went to my Mom's house and everybody we knew, and sold to them. The next day, I didn't sell shit. It sucked. I got fired". -Fieldy

When was the last time you got in a fight? Shit, it's been year's man. Probably six years ago. I've almost fought Head a couple of times, but this was a long time ago. One time Head was yelling at me and he got really pissed off. This was back when we used to fight - we work differences out now. He threw a kick at me and I caught his leg and dragged him down the street, and he was like, 'Alright, it's cool!' David and me also used to have our differences - bad. One time we were arguing and almost getting ready for a fistfight. We were like, 'C'mon, fuck you! c'mon!', and Munky had the tape recorder on while we were doing it. We listened to it after we cooled down and we where just laughing so hard. You could hear how stupid we sounded. None of that shit happens now; we just laugh about shit."
