PiercingMetal.com has posted an interview with AFTER FOREVER vocalist Floor Jansen from October 21st, 2007. Ab excerpt os available below:
PiercingMetal: It might be a silly question, but do you prefer just recording or doing the actual touring.
Floor: "I don’t think you can compare these things because for me they are just both so different and each has their good sides and challenges as well as their downsides. In the studio you can really be a perfectionist on everything which after awhile can be nerve wracking because you don’t know which one is actually perfect anymore. Getting the chance to hear back what you have just done is really, really extraordinary. Live, the energy that is present live makes me just love to sing live. I love performing and being onstage and when it comes to that I feel like a true performer and get to feel that side of me is just amazing."
PiercingMetal: I had asked that because there are some artists that you meet who say that they would just rather record and release album after album.
Floor: "Yes, Sander (Gommans) is like that, our guitar player is definitely like that but if I had to choose between those two I would go for the live side. However I love recording as well because you can do so much more. It’s such a different side of this profession."

As previously reported, After Forever announced back in January they were taking a break for at least a year in the interest of Gommans' health.
