Continued from page 34 road or do you have to be in writing mode? Doyle: I bring an extra guitar with me just to fuck around with on the bus. I barely touch it because I play guitar all night and I don’t really want to touch the guitar until I have to play it. Once in a while, I’ll play some riffs. I don’t really have time during the day to do anything. Mosh: How do you maintain your workout regimen while on the road? Do you bring weights on the bus or do you have gyms staked out in each city you play in? Doyle: We’re sponsored by PowerBlast dumbells. We bring benches and dumbells and mats and whatever else. The guys set it up and tell me where it is. I do my work out and get ready for the show. Mosh: With the state of the music business these days, what bothers you the most? Doyle: Don’t steal music, man. That’s our product, and when you steal it you’re actual- ly robbing us. And if you rob us and we go broke, guess who gets no new music? They think the shit’s free. Doyle appears 11/10 at The Forge, Joliet. MOSH-WORTHY RELEASES: Appice Sinister (Steamhammer/SPV), Samael Hegemony (Napalm Records), Arch Enemy Will to Power (Century Media).
