[drummer Daniel Platzman on the "Shots" music video] The concept was bringing in artist Tim Cantor, who came up with all the magical realism based art that we felt a connection. We worked with an amazing director, Robert Hales, and took all the artwork we made and incorporated it into the video.. we're all happy and proud of it, Tim's art surely helped bring it to life. I hope you all like it. Hide

[guitarist Wayne Sermon on second album "Smoke + Mirrors] We wanted the album to have some of the warmth of the vinyl we grew up listening to. As important as radio is to what we do - and we do love that part of the music industry - it's really frustrating to hear this record on radio, just because it gets so smashed. Everyone is competing with everything else, but we have this very dynamic record that we put a lot of thought into, and radio just smashes the hell out of it. There's not much left after that happens, just one level. There's no loud, there's no quiet. It's just smashed. Hide

[guitarist Wayne Sermon on second album "Smoke + Mirrors"] It's a very dynamic record, because the lows are very low and the highs are very high. Dynamically speaking, it needs to be played in a high-resolution form, which is the way I'd much prefer it be listened to. Hide

[frontman Dan Reynolds on feeling at home while on stage] There's always a moment where I can look at every one of the guys and know that all the other problems, whatever it is, we're not thinking about them in that moment. That's a pretty magical thing. I don't think there's anything else that provides me with that kind of escape. Hide

[drummer Daniel Platzman on his reaction to Weird Al's parody of "Radioactive"] I lost my mind! I'm a huge Weird Al fan. My family's reaction to winning a Grammy was proud, but when I told them Weird Al was parodying one of my songs, they freaked out way worse. It was one of the most real moments of my life. I actually got in touch with Al and the guys, they're gonna be coming through Vegas soon. We're gonna hopefully meet up with them. Hide

[guitarist Wayne Sermon on his love for vinyl] I think it's cool. Unfortunately, a lot of music on vinyl isn't recorded analog, but some of it's magical. I grew up listening to it. The first time I heard a Tom Scholz guitar solo was on vinyl with my dad, on an audiophile-grade tube receiver. I'd just sit there and listen to [The Beatles'] Abbey Road, Iron Butterfly, Boston, Badfinger; all kinds of stuff. That's how I got into music and playing guitar - hearing it and listening to it on vinyl. To me, it has a special place in my heart. It's such a snobby thing for people to say, but it really is true - nothing sounds as good as old vinyl on a tube receiver with an amp. There's something that's just magical about that. Hearing a saxophone solo on vinyl - you can hear the breathing. You just can't hear that anywhere else. Hide
