I just don't like the idea of anyone trying to limit us on what we do. Right now the new cd is almost totally written, and there's not a blast beat in sight, lol. But the point is, if we write something that warrants doing it, then we're gonna do it, detractors be damned. It's disheartening when composing music with the guys in the band and we write something that we all feel is really cool, but then have to say, "Nope, we should ditch this, because you know that a bunch of the fans are gonna be upset if we play too fast" or whatever. I remember all too clearly (because there's still people crying about it to this day) the people who pleaded or whined about we shouldn't play faster beats, or we shouldn't drop the female vocals, etc. etc......... ultimately, we'll do what's right for the song at the time and that's that really.
