To be honest with you, no, it wasn't. Actually, at that point in my life, I really needed a change. I just felt like I had become really stale and just wasn't going anywhere. So I ended up getting the call, and I promised the guys that I would give them 110 percent effort as long as they'd need me. I just feel very fortunate having made it with two bands.
Some people never make it with one.
I personally think that it's a much heavier rock record. Collectively, it feels like a band on this record. It feels like we're comfortable with each other and confident with each other. And I think Johnny is singing great. He's at the top of his form right now.
