Just make sure when you do your first press conference,(after signing a major label deal) that you take the Lars Ulrich approach, and proclaim that you were never a metal band!
Still having problems with the contract details with the major labels, they want us to do a choreographed dance kind of metal.... so that is exactly what we told them...... "we're not a metal band"
My buddy/drummer talks about that all the time. He says for all the damage partying has done to musicians it created their best work. I've had great inspirational moments myself.... lol
