Being in a recording studio is a very different feel from performing onstage. I mean, obviously, you can't just go in and do what you would do onstage. It reads differently.

In the studio, you can always stop, rewind and do it again, but on stage, you can never do that - it's a different energy. It separates good bands from bad bands, being able to play, perform and really capture an audience. I think that's the hardest part.

And the general opinion is we are much better on stage than in the studio.

When you go into the studio or get up on the stage with people who have more experience or knowledge, you learn.

The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

I think if you're an actor, then you can work on stage - but if you've never done it before, you're going to have picked up a few things that you're going to need to change when you're working on stage.

The studio work is the nasty, tedious, hard and nerve-wracking part, interrupted by moments of exhilaration. Playing live is the chance to actually have some fun and get on a stage.

Stage is about imperfections and working with them, whether it be from you or the audience.

I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.
