We manage to bounce ideas off one another. Every band fights, but at the end of the day, we're very positive about the way we fight. At least we come out with a result.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.
I feel more confident about what we're doing as a band and what we're trying to do as a band and the way we're looking at it as a band.
Being in a band is a really magical thing because you've got a family and you operate as this one entity. It's very democratic; everyone is involved in the output. But within that, there can be a lot of disagreements and strife.
Being in a band is always a compromise. Provided that the balance is good, what you lose in compromise, you gain by collaboration.
It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.
It's hard to say when the life of a band starts and stops... but playing music together is an act of trust. When that's broken, it's impossible to continue.
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.
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.
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.
Everything is a battle with this band.
