Before every show, we get into a circle, hold hands, and someone makes a speech. Most bands are too cool for that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We wanted to offer something new to our audience. I hate it when bands stop taking chances.
People in bands don't have the kind of conversations people might think they have. The best things about being in a band are the things that are unsaid.
I've been told by a lot of people after concerts that they felt the show was just for them. And I try to make it that way.
I want the audience to be so involved in the sweep of the music.
There's a band called Pantera that I listen to, and then Metallica's 'And Justice for All.' If you listen to a little bit of that before you go on stage, you're pretty much set for the whole show.
I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there.
That is one of the things about going on tour, that I get to work with some really talented people and it allows me to be able to listen to them as well - and just have fun on stage.
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
When the band would leave the stage, and then the audience would just take over, and keep the groove goin'.
People buy a ticket to see your show, so from the moment I get onstage, I can have no insecurities, because they're already there. You have to get people to listen. If they listen, everything's cool.
