No one can ever accuse Third Eye BlindΓÇÖs Stephan Jenkins of being a shrinking violet. On the contrary! This oversized rock star has a big mouth, a booming voice, and an insatiable ego that threatens to consume everything in its path. When he sat down for a one-on-one with LAUNCH executive editor Dave DiMartino in Las Vegas late last year, Jenkins ranted about a variety of controversial topics: Britney SpearsΓÇÖ ΓÇ£ta-tasΓÇ¥ (ΓÇ£I think theyΓÇÖre genuine,ΓÇ¥ he asserts), rock star behavior (ΓÇ£Like snorting a big line of coke between a slender 15-year-oldΓÇÖs thighs? Never!ΓÇ¥), and bogus comparisons between his band and Matchbox 20 (ΓÇ£Critics are dumb. ThereΓÇÖs no excuse for them.ΓÇ¥). Jenkins admitted that his band has made some ΓÇ£sh-ttyΓÇ¥ videos, and when pressed for a description of the groupΓÇÖs style, he offered up the following tag: ΓÇ£chopper rock.ΓÇ¥ Jenkins and bandmate Arion Salazar joined the rest of TEB on a Vegas stage later that evening where they performed this lively rendition of ΓÇ£AnythingΓÇ¥ from their newest disc, Blue.
