And then there's all these other creeps that surround your band and suck off you like leeches and try to manipulate you and your business. You have to watch like a hawk. I'm always ready to fight. I see it very much as a battle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything is a battle with this band.
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.
It's terrifying to play your favorite band's song in front of your favorite band.
I've never treated anyone in my band like they're not on the same level as me. I'm not that kind of person.
Sometimes I don't want to be in the confines of what a band seems to provide.
I kind of focus on my own stuff, really, and then when people come into my territory, I've got to fight them away, and that's what we do every time fight night happens.
The craziest thing about it, I used to hate fighting, but you had to show how tough you was; you had to show you wasn't no punk.
When you start your first band and it has an impact on the rest of the world you go through a lot with those guys and you become very protective of that legacy.
You learn who you really are in a fight - what you're really made of. You have to face yourself and rise above your own fears and failings.
There are times when you have to face your enemies, sit down and deal with it.
