SOME PEEPS ON FORUMS REALLY HATE YOU GUYS. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THEM?
M.Shadows:
I think the biggest misconception people have about us is that they think we want to be a metal band when all we really want to do is play music - we don't really care what type of music it is. We have so many influences; we love pop, country, hip-hop, we love it all. If an artiste is good, we enjoy it. People are always going to have their own opinions, especially people on the Internet and Myspace, and they'll spit it all out. But that doesn't bother me. When I was a young kid, I had a stupid opinion all the time too. I was always calling other bands 'sellouts' but when I grew older, I realised I was just being childish. You either like a band or you don’t, and if you don’t, don’t listen to it! Who cares? I think kids need time to grow up a little bit. That’s human nature and life, you know? People are always going to try to tear you down for selling records and doing well, so it doesn’t really bother us at all. I don’t really give a f*ck.
Metal kids always want people to appreciate their music, but then as soon as a band gets big, they get pissed off and say they aren’t real metal anymore. It’s the same with punk-rock.
