I'm getting paid to tour and travel and I don't have to work a shitty job. And it's weird because you like start getting pissed off about that.
Obviously, the more you tour, the more comfortable you get.
The best part of touring is playing the shows. I mean, that is the point of touring, at least for me. I have been blessed in that I've always gotten to play with other good musicians.
Touring is a rough thing. You don't have any time to look around or stop and think if what you're doing is making you happy. The more you tour, the better the band gets, and you get caught up in a lot more things than just traveling.
I don't think I ever had a certain image of what touring was like... I think when you're young, you think it's very glamourous, but it's not.
I've been touring for 25 years. I'm used to it, so I love it. Although I feel the tug of home, as I have three little kids, I don't suffer like some artists who constantly complain about how much they hate traveling.
So many people moan about touring and say it's a chore. I don't know, they must be living on a different planet.
The touring part is really mixed. You love to play and you can't wait to go, but you don't want to leave.
