I'm super serious about that stuff. I mean, it's rare that I sit down at a drum set when I'm not touring, because we tour so much.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You just can't walk into a venue, sit behind your drums, and expect to play a great show. It'll never happen.
I don't find touring very creative. There's not much time to yourself with your instruments.
It is not very practical in today's world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
I used to have friends come on tour and work as my drum tech, but they get bummed out when I have to tell them what to do. This time I'm just going to fly them out and let them hang. It's all good.
I trained for the drums for about two weeks, and then rocking out in front of an entire crowd was sort of like a dream come true. And now, Guitar Hero, I can't do that anymore. It's nothing like doing it on stage. I kinda wish I had a fake band, and we could go on tour.
I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there.
Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.
A lot of people can't stand touring but to me it's like breathing. I do it because I'm driven to do it.
I expect if you're a professional public speaker, you probably wouldn't want to go onstage and sing and play drums.
Even when I go do comedy stuff live, I can still feel the drummer in me about to go onstage.
