Kim Shattuck Quotes On Obituary:
I saw the Bangles before I was in a band. I really liked their rhythm. That was right when I was trying to learn how to play guitar. I was really frustrated because I couldn’t strum, and then I saw Susannah Hoffs do this cool strum on a song, and it was my goal after that to learn how to do that strum.

Heavy metal is the enemy. Everybody but me keeps going back and forth between metal and punk, but I’m narrow-minded and a purist. I’d never mess with it.
