The main thing is that this band keeps going.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We all enjoy the band and what we're doing, but we know this isn't gonna last forever.
Keeping a consistent band going is a bit like getting the Aston Martin out the garage - you have to run it every now and then!
One of the things I feel very strong about is the achievement of the Band really being a complete band.
I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet.
Bands don't last. Bands don't last forever - it's a rarity when they do.
The best thing about this band is I'm the leader!
Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.
Sadly, I've seen a lot of bands hit that sort of peak and then eventually start supporting again, you know, which we will never do. We always put a lot of thought into the way that we are going to go, and we always change.
When you keep the caliber of musicians very high in the band, people are going to come and go. Some of them will be people who have to try various things, it's natural.
Everything is a battle with this band.
