It's important to have a life outside the band.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the reasons we survive as a band is that we are seen as a band of today. We don't want to be seen as a band that tours and plays old songs. We feel that we are making the best music of our careers.
The band is a living, breathing thing. It grows in the same way we do as human beings and if it doesn't, it dies. It's important to feed the organism, and one way of doing that is to set musical challenges that keep it alive.
I have a lot to do with the writing, and also the production, but it would be wrong of me to say that I'm the most important member of the band, because everybody is important the way I see it.
There's definitely a solitary aspect to not having a band, and there are times when I wish that I did.
That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.
It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle.
Bands are like people. They're born and then they die.
We're proud to be lifetime musicians and a band that lives like a band and loves the music and gives our lives to it.
We're a live band. It's what we do best.
Being in a band is far more than playing an instrument. It's surviving. It's getting an album together.
