There are nights when you can feel stale because you've fallen into a pattern by touring too much, but it's easy to get out of it by deliberately getting in trouble and playing yourself into a corner to then see if you can get out of it.
When you tour, it's so hard on the body. Being in one place is cool. It's a more stable environment.
With 'Verdict' I was away for six months, touring, with a week in each town. I did not really enjoy that aspect of it.
Touring is real demanding. You swing between sadness and euphoria. But for us to cry about it isn't fair.
Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.
We toured that record for a year, which turned out to be the culmination of ten years of being constantly on the road. We were sick to death of touring.
The problem with touring isn't the traveling and the shows, it's the vegetal state you get into.
We've always enjoyed touring, which is fortunate because we're always on the road. The most difficult part is that time passes by so quickly. It's hard to pay attention to your normal life because shows are all-encompassing.
A lot of bands whine about the road and how tough it is.
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
