Adam Rich Quotes

We just done doing The Blessed Hellride tour and Ozzfest.

Black-metal is my favourite. Mayhem are one of my favourite bands. But whenever Slayer comes to town, I am going to that show.

Gojira is my favorite band of all time; they're lovely, I've seen them live two times. I also love Mastodon and the Refused as well.

If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and 'Python' achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans - George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it.

We used to go and play shows in the south in front of two people and now every show we did was just great. The warm-ups, most of those weren't even advertised and most of them were sold out. I don't know what's going on, it's just so much different than it used to be.

We did like 12 shows, then we did the entire Ozzfest with the first half completely booked; then we did the second half with a couple days off here and there.

I had a blast doing the Warped Tour, but it's good to be home, for sure.

That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends.

When we've toured with Skid Row and G N' R, we probably turned a few people on to our music, but I get the feeling at one of those shows you might snag maybe 10 percent of the people out there.

I'm getting to do, like, 11 stadium shows with Kenny Chesney... seriously - that's bucket list.

I'm a veteran of Ozzfest.

When I was a kid and went to shows, my favorites were Live Events. You really see a performer's personality on Live Events than on TV.

Metal fans are the most hard-core, loyal fans.

I couldn't imagine being in Slipknot and not going to Peru or Argentina or Moscow or St. Petersburg.

I always wanted to play festivals more than anything in Scotland.

When I was touring with Ozzy, you know, when I was with Manson, we toured with Ozzy, so many times, we did Ozzfest a thousand times, and, you know, it seems like I'm always playing with Ozzy in one way or another opening up.

Warped Tour is completely in a league of its own. It's this crazy cross between a real, full tour and a festival.

I think there's a lot of death metal or doom metal dudes that somehow or another find a groove in it.

We've always prided ourselves on putting together a great live show. That's something that means a lot to us because our bread and butter is the live tour.

The writing is everything of course but you can't be making records and not be willing to go out there and perform.

At every Ozzfest show, there's horns and devils somewhere; there's some kind of darkness somewhere. But the thing is, this is a stage, homey, and those fools are entertainers. And you know what, it shows! It's fake.

I like all kinds of shows. The small shows are a totally different vibe. I don't care how many people are there as long as they're into it.

There's so much more that I want to do. Of course it's great what has happened so far: Ultra, Coachella, EDC. But still, production-wise and show-wise, I'd love to play a show at Madison Square Garden. Stuff like that is beyond my imagination.

Some of my friends really rock out: Matt and Kim, Diplo, when RuPaul was performing. Beyonce... there's tons of people I saw perform and was like, 'I just want my crowd to be awesome like this!'

In Vietnam, we can go and get big audiences, and we've been going there for so long. A lot of other hip-hop groups don't even go.
