For a man it's like if something goes on on-stage you'll have a drink at the bar and talk about it. With a female artist it's a big deal, you have a meeting and she's mad at you for the next couple of shows!
Chris JohnsonWhen you hear tracks everybody immediately thinks that nobody is really playing or singing. That's not the case at all.
Chris JohnsonIt feels real good to look at some of the guys who have played before me, then come in and break a record. But records are made to be broken.
Chris JohnsonThe reason for backing tracks is to not veer off too far from the record and have what the fans actually want to hear. Artists use backing tracks just so they can stay close to the record and what the consumer heard for the first time. It's not to be confused with lip synching or anything like that cos that's not happening at all.
Chris JohnsonI live by four words and I have it tattooed on my arms as well. It just says, 'Live, learn, love life'. So you live your life to the best way you can. Every situation is a learning one so take those lessons, learn from it and love your life.
Chris JohnsonYou've only got one life and you have to live it. Take every single lesson as a learning one.

Chris JohnsonI take my job very seriously and I work the best that I can on every drum that I hit. I want all the drums and cymbals to sound the best. I strive for perfection and I won't take anything less.
Chris JohnsonLove everybody. If they do you wrong or they brush you the wrong way it's OK, you don't have to hold on to that, you can still love them from afar; you don't have to really deal with them.
Chris JohnsonWomen are emotional! And being an artist and a woman is probably more difficult because you have more stuff to overcome.
Chris JohnsonNobody's perfect and I don't want to try and portray that but I'm genuinely doing the best I can out here; trying to support my family the best that I can, trying to make them proud and happy and everybody having the best life they can live. I'm trying to provide a better life for them than I had.
