we made it very clear we were not doing another record for tvt. but they made it pretty clear they weren't ready to sell. so i felt like, well, i've finally got this thing going but it's dead. flood and i had to record "broken" under a different band name, because if tvt found out we were recording, they could confiscate all our shit and release it. jimmy iovine got involved with interscope, and we kind of got slave-traded. it wasn't my doing. i didn't know anything about interscope. and i was real pissed off at him at first because it was going from one bad situation to potentially another one. but interscope went into it like they really wanted to know what i wanted. it was good, after i put my raving lunatic act on.
