SHADOWS FALL Frontman Brian Fair On Possibility Of Touring With METALLICA - "That Would Be As Cool As It Gets"
July 28, 2010, 14 years ago
Away Team recently conducted an interview with SHADOWS FALL frontman Brian Fair. In the interview they discuss the abundance of talent coming out of the Massachusetts metal/hardcore scene, being nominated for two Grammys, the pros and cons for opening for the Big Four, record labels insidious 360 deals, how to survive in today’s music industry, and how a dirty hippie can be the voice of the new metal movement.
The following is an excerpt:
Q: As we said before, you’re currently out on the road with some great bands on the Mayhem Festival, what would be your ultimate bill for a show?
A: "You know we’ve played a festival with them before but we would love to tour with METALLICA cuz that’s the one band that I grew up worshipping that we’ve never gotten to do extended time on the road with. And there’s only one Metallica man! They’re the kingpins, so that would be pretty amazing.
Q: So are you guys sitting around waiting to do the opening for the Big Four then? Is that what you’re asking? To throw in your hat….
A: "Oh that would be as cool as it gets! But honestly that would be a tough opening spot even to begin with. People would be like ‘yeah great we don’t care, get to the Big Four’!"
