They even didn't know if I would have liked it, so I took it home and made a song up on it and thought I guess I'd better order one.
This is probably the most prepared we've been to record an album since the '80s. We've been writing and cutting demos for months.
So, there's like one luxury you take and since we do that, y'know, you're involved with people in suits; business people all the time. But hey, if I sit down on a bar and they leave, good for me.
Of course we are doing this primarily for ourselves, but I know our fans dig most of it, too.
I play loud onstage for my own benefit as I like. But I'm not too fond of the P.A. either.
I fly a lot, so I knew what's gonna be good and what's not. So I put everything into my check bag I think I might need during these flights.
I had to stand guard at the door.
My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got.
Best Buy. I heard recently they are downsizing and I got sad! I remember when Circuit City was around, I never understood why people would shop there. I always thought Best Buy had a better selection and cheaper prices.

I'm always using a towel around my head. Airports don't worry about me.
If you dont tour, you cannot expect to sell a huge numbers of your albums either. It was both a business - and an economical decision and we wanted to play anyway. We just wanted to get out for the tour when it was safe enough for us.
It's fun when you are on tour to go a place you are familiar with in any given city. It's like being home away from home.
