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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
