What kind of thing would stop you from being in a band? If you broke your neck, would you still try and play or would you just retire?
"I’ve sustained many injuries and sicknesses on the road and have always tried to sing and play regardless: busted lips, broken fingers, dislocated shoulders, tonsillitis, laryngitis, and all that good stuff. Nothing would stop me from being in Trivium… unless the other three guys got sick of me, signed petitions and got me ejected from our tour bus via trampoline."How does terrorism affect a touring band with al ot of equipment, particually at airports?
"Nowadays we try to always ship what we need to have overseas and have duplicate equipment of all the big crap like amps, cabs, drums, risers, lights and all that. We basically just ship guitars, wireless, pedals, and other bits and bobs thru a music transportation company.I’ll tell you what does suck now from all that terrorism airport crap… the fact that I can’t bring my bathroom supplies on the plane anymore. That’s about the only thing terrorists accomplished - making people's lives just slightly inconvenient at airports."
As previously reported, Trivium is currently on tour in North America as part of the Family Values package.
