Highlight of your band’ s set list? I’ m really excited about the reaction“ This Means War” [ from 2013’ s Hail to the King ] is getting these days. That’ s a real fun song to play, and I like the grooves and riffs.
Tips for winning over a tough crowd? You just have to be confident. Don’ t give’ em anything to further their disapproval. Just
go up there, rock out, and act like it’ s a base of your fans. And don’ t scream and yell at them.
Advice for a band just starting to play live? Just go up there and enjoy it, because it’ s a really special thing to be able to do. We interact with the crowd, turn it into a party. I wouldn’ t worry about the performance or having a stiff and ridged

structure for the show. If you keep it loose, you’ ll find yourself, eventually.
