I've been a fan of yours since I was in 6th grade (1999), so I have quite a few questions:

• 1. Is there a particular song that you've written that means more to you than other songs you've written?
• 2. I remember hearing various interview over the years of songs that you guys wrote, but never released. The first that comes to mind is an instrumental track which was going to be on Hypnotize. Will any of these tracks see the light of day?
• 3. Do you expect to release all 4 of your albums by the end of 2012?
• 4. What was it like working with Buckethead? Is there still a follow up to "Enter the Chicken" planned?
• 5. Do you plan to play in San Francisco on your next tour?
  
• 6. What lead to Daron taking on more of the vocal duties on Mesmerize/Hypnotize?
• 7. How was it working with Larry LaLonde? Did you two write anything together or was he just playing live with you?
• 8. Are there any SOAD songs that you don't like playing live, but your band mates insist on playing live?
• 9. Also, not a question, but "Suggestions" has always been one of my favorite SOAD songs.

Speaking as a therapist, I am glad to hear that this experience didn't turn you off to therapy altogether. So many times another professional in my field sours someone's opinion on therapy because of some poor judgement on their part, but I am happy you were able to see it was a flaw in that therapist, not therapy.

Congratulations on getting the justice you deserve. I can't imagine how it felt to suffer such abuse, but I hope you've been able to find peace through this. I'm sure your story will help other girls/women come forward about their abuse and get the healing that they need.

Do you perform "extras?" Have you ever? If you do/have, do you have set prices or does it depend on your attraction to the guy?

I wish he had answered this question. I feel the same way and have wondered this, too. I asked my psychopathology teacher in graduate school about this and the whole class thought I was making a smart-ass joke :-/
