Touring is an incredibly isolated situation. I don't know how people tour for years on end. You find a lot of people who can't stop touring, and it's because they don't know how to come back into life. It's sort of unreal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Touring is really a pretty lonely business.
Touring can be repetitive at times.
Touring gets really lonely.
Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.
Touring is tough. You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment, and the next thing you know, you're onstage performing for 60,000 people, then you're back on an airplane. It's very hectic and I couldn't do it without my family.
To me, the only good reason to be touring is if you still have something good to share instead of just revisiting past glories.
A touring band is a family and a workplace at the same time, and you're living with people you didn't necessarily choose every day for up to a year.
Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.
Touring for two years is excruciating.
Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.
