Right now I'm at the pinnacle, just doing what I'm doing. If you have to push the band beyond its natural growth, then you have to get into an immediate thing where you're gonna have to simplify at least what the larger amount of people hear, so the larger amount of people can easily gravitate towards your music, whatever it is. That kind of limits you to your hits that you play for a 30,000 seat or a 10,000 seat audience, and unless you have been around for 20 years and they know everything about you, they're just going to know your hits. I like it when whatever song it is, it just happens. I like it when we take it up to a really high and intense level and then bring it down.
People are really into that.
It's a neat part of the show. The only time it's tough or when I get worn out, is when I have to fly and get up at 5 a.m. to catch a 7 a.m. flight across the country to be somewhere in the afternoon. At the same time those kind of experiences can be kind of cool because your brain is in a different state. You're sort of tired, but once you're on stage you forget about that. It's almost like lucid dreaming.
