ANNIHILATOR Guitarist Jeff Waters - "The Only Stress I Have Doing A Record These Days Is Whether I’m Out Of Coffee Or Not"
May 6, 2010, 14 years ago
ANNIHILATOR guitarist/ founder Jeff Waters recently discussed life as a professional musician after 20+ years and thirteen albums. An excerpt is available below:
Waters: “It was a lot of fun doing the Metal album but honestly – totally honest – it was just another record. You can’t have this pressure and stress where you say ‘I guess if this album doesn’t sell well that’s it for the band…’ or ‘I hope this thing makes a lot of money.’ We don’t think like that. For us it’s a big deal that we have the chance to make another album. We sit and look in the mirror and say ‘This is awesome, be grateful and enjoy the fucking thing.’ The only stress I have doing a record these days is whether I’m out of coffee or not. That’s the only way you can do this.”
