Kristin: How was your experience at Ozzfest?

#1 (Joey): Ozzfest was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to our band at that time, reason being our record wasn’t even out yet and Sharon Ozborne, Ozzy's wife, promotional pack with a video on the band. “That’s new that’s fresh that’s exciting. Something like I've never seen before to keep the tour interesting and fresh every year need a new buzz band on there.” She specifically picked us and put us on there and it was really cool cause Roadrunner and our street teams have been doing so good at promoting us at that time our record was coming out in a month and a half so when we went to go do the shows the response was overwhelming we had the biggest crowds on the second stage throughout out the whole thing and our record wasn’t even out yet we had CDs and shirts and sold a lot of merch it was really good it was the best thing that could’ve happened at that time it was very fortune to grab that tour.

K: How do you feel about having 3 street teams, through Roadrunner streetwise, etc?

#1:Its Awesome I mean it couldn’t get any better the more people the better, more response. I think we speak to kids in a language that most metal bands don’t speak to them and that’s why we have so many fans and we're so grateful to our fans. We stand outside every show for hours just to make sure they all are thanked let them all know they are very appreciated. Were very thankful that they are there for us.

K: What kind of musical influences do you have?

#1: Wide array of influences anything from like slayer to the police to cannibal corpse to all that stuff we listen to it. It’s easier for me to tell you what I don’t like than what I do. Same with everyone else in the band. The fact is we have 9 guys in the band we have kickass influences it all makes slipknot.

K: Where’d you get the idea for the costumes/masks?

#1: We didn’t want to be about our names or our faces because there is a lot of rock bands and metal bands that cheat their fans because they worry about clothing endorsements and about a lot of things that end up watering down the music and about watering down the things that matter and that’s the kids. We wanted to be about our music and the best way to drive our music home that way is to put together a package we we’re not exploiting ourselves and were keeping everything hidden and were not cheating our fans in rockstarism and the best way to do that was to throw it all out and concentrate just on our music and the best way to do that is to put on a uniform army, industrial overalls and it seemed to work for us pretty well.

K: Finally, are there any plans for a headlining tour?

#1: Our Fans keep telling us that we need to do that. obviously we could do that. I don’t know if we’d do as many people so we want to stay at least on this Coal Chamber tour for as long as possible cause theres a lot of good things. They hit a lot of B Markets and we haven’t hit those markets yet so its really good we get to go those places. So the kids can see us they don’t know about our band I mean were still unknown in a lot of places so they more people we can hit. A kid in Louisiana deserves to see us as much as a kid in New York they deserve the same show so we need to go to as many places as possible that’s why its great to be on tour with Coal Chamber to us out to those audiences.
