Obviously [Black] Sabbath is definitely a huge name and of course deserving with Ozzy coming back.

If someone is feeling out of sorts or detached it's a great time to bring them in and restate why we are here and what we are trying to do.

It's a balance between getting the right string gauge that's thick enough where it sound good, and not rubber bands - but not too thick where your hands start to get real tired.

There were some initial instruments I had when I was young and made some trade-offs. Maybe a guitar I bought in a flea market. They weren't the greatest guitar but they would be cool to still have them. Other than that, not as a professional.

I know we play a part in the story of progressive music, but for us those influences are the real fathers, the ones that we were interested in.
