Gojira is my favorite band of all time; they’re lovely, I’ve seen them live two times. I also love Mastodon and the Refused as well.

I’ve already become a mastodon in print – I don’t see a consciousness for my kind of journalism.

It’s terrifying to play your favorite band’s song in front of your favorite band.

I’ve always loved Def Leppard, ever since I was little.

I discovered after going to music festivals that I am a rock fan. I love the guitars, the phrasing, and the abandon of rock fans.

Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you’re listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.

Seeing a live Kenny Chesney show, you know what you’re going to get. You know it’s going to be an all-day party.
