And they just keep doing that to you until you kind of rewrite the way you think. And that's a lot for a person to think about all the time. "I feel like there's no happy ending for any of us in the way that we've set everything up — government and just everything. And they put you in this euphoric state for a couple of hours. It's not this disposable music that you like for a week and throw away. it's a lubricant for me to get up on stage and be funny and be kind of carefree and be the wild guy that [fans] expect of us, that they've seen from our DVDs and shit, which is really just a compilation of the good times. Props to the many of you out there who have dealt with this and made it out the other side." I don't wanna be in W.A.S.P. I want this band to keep going at this tremendous speed, and I wanna segue into being an older metalhead gracefully. I wanna look presentable; I wanna be a better frontman; I want to be more physically fit; I want to go into my 40 screaming. Being 40-plus and being able to do what I do well and not look like a shithead, I've gotta be better to myself. "Even though it's a death metal band, there are so many eyes on us and so much judgment, it's insane," he continued. I was embittered by having to do it after a while and kind of resentful of my partner.
