It's a little less stressful as a support act, because the headliner carries the majority of the weight. But as a headliner, we get to play a little bit longer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you're the opener, you're the guy getting the crowd warmed up. But when you're the headliner, you're the main dude. People come to see you, and you have to deliver. It's a cool position to be in.
If you only have one shot at writing a headline, there's a lot of pressure.
I believe with a lot of support shows, people are very much there to see the headliner. You don't necessarily have their full attention, and some of what we do requires a lot of silence.
It was kind of fun being the headliners.
It's easier when you play. You get your emotion out. You scream. You yell. You do whatever you want. You play. But it's tough to sit.
Supporting actors are the support. You can't make a building without support. You can't buy dinner without support.
I'm always excited to carry more and more weight and responsibility within a story.
If you're playing a lead, you're shaping the movie. When you're playing a supporting role, you've got only a moment to make it count.
When I gain a pound it's in the headlines.
They have equal weight and you do the same work you'd do if you were playing a dramatic role.
