Hate heals, you should try it sometime.
My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got.
I have tons of friends in the heavy-metal music world, and just going to see them inspires 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.
Venom were the first thrash band i heard on record-it really pushed me to the best!
I think no matter what kind of music you play, there will be moments when you feel like it's all been done before.
