yeah true that

GREAT interview! and I love the way that Matt puts it. I completely agree with him. I mean, adults look at kids or even other adults that are blasting their metal music from their ipod like if they are nothing but druggies, alcoholics, or trouble makers or something like that. It had always bugged me because those are actually some of the awesomest people you could meet. It's funny, my grandfather, who is going with me to Dallas on May 7th for the concert, LOVES metal, but even he says that every band member is on drugs.. -.- I proved him wrong ^^ hehe he doesn't believe that anymore.

Ive been listening to metal since the 80's, every singer has there own story and what they do and how they bring that across on stage. Honestly, when i see a metal band in concert i don't think about what went up there nose or how much they drank...as long as they are kicking ass and putting on a good show! Matt definitely delivers that! I have however seen a few bands (ones that I wont name *cough GnR cough*) where the singer was completely pissed drunk, had a horrible attitude and was downright mean to the fans...and it gave me a terrible impression of that band, in other-words. I wouldn't go see them again, and that's the way the press plays it all out, all it takes is one bad show and out come the rumors of how they worship Satan and bite heads off bats and throw dead puppies into the crowd lol. Keep on rocking Matt you guys are well off to becoming a legend in your own time!!! Back to the topic....lol...Its all about respect and how you treat people. Most bands write music that people want to rock to, not about how they grew up in a shack and ate worms for dinner haha!
