They are the only people in the world who I can truly trust and rely on. Touring gets really lonely. I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE

I never had tons of friends on tour. I was quiet and went about my business.
Touring gets really lonely.
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.
Touring is really a pretty lonely business.
I mean, it takes a large entourage to put on a tour. You can't have 'em sittin' around.
I've been on tour since I was 16, and I always do meet-and-greets before and after shows, so you kind of build these friendships with people. I have girls come up to me and tell me exactly what's going on in their love lives.
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.
I think almost every player has a few very good friends on tour. Mine are: Yves Allegro, Roger Federer, Michael Lammer, and Ivo Klec.
Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.
