Quotes about Emma Anzai

"What can I say? She's amazing. I get to play with one of the best bass guitarists in rock 'n roll (if not the best). She plays in the pocket, she slaps like a mad man (or mad woman) and she is so damn consistent, she is a drummer's dream! And I'm the guy that gets to play alongside of her every single night. It is a privilege and is something I don't take for granted. I continue to learn from her all the time and the great thing about playing in this band is we continually learn and play off of each other everyday, which allows us to grow all the time. I love playing with Emma and I wouldn't want it any other way." - Mark Goodwin (Sick Puppies)

"Emma's precision is impeccable, and definitely her strongest suit. She incorporates slap elements flawlessly, which is greatly complemented by her crisp Warwick tone. I remember watching her play and thinking "I have to go after... her?" She always rests tightly in the 'pocket' with the drums and she has a very charismatic and confident stage presence. On top of all this, she's a very sweet person." - Pat Seals (Flyleaf)

"It was kinda hard to take the stage after the Sick Puppies because not only is Emma better than me at the bass, she's much prettier than I am too..." - Tim McCord (Evanescence)
