As far as bands doing that in a way where they think they're going to fight the government, the only people they're really hurting is the fans.

Songs like "Spirit Carries On" really gets the audience moved and on the same page. It's challenging and all so much fun to play.

I started playing guitar when I was 12, and I started getting into more metal, like Maiden and Metallica... Of course, as I kind of got better and better in the guitar, I was listening to more guitar players, so then I got into, I guess, more of the prog side.

I would say the more the better when it is comes to development and marketing. It's actually fun. For some it can be a frustrating thing.

I don't have very eclectic tastes in music.

Now that we're established and we have a history we know that we can expect people to show up and to have a good time.

I remember feeling for the first time going somewhere where I was part of a community where I didn't feel like an outcast. I felt like I belonged. Everyone had a guitar strapped to their back.
