Growing up, I was always playing with video games.

I go online, and I love watching heavy metal bands and guitar players play heavy metal versions of the 'Zelda' theme, and people do all the 'Zelda' music, which is one of my favorite soundtracks.

Ever since 'Hail to the King,' we've been more cognizant of our chord progressions, our key changes, drama in songs, a lot of dynamics - we've really added a lot of that in there.

I think the cool thing about being alive in 2017 is that you can literally put out music as soon and as frequently as you want to because of streaming services.

Metal needs to be exposed to more people, so it's good for rock if there's bigger bands.

If you make money, what's it worth if you can't be with your family?

I've never made a comment on a message board in my life.

I've said the Grammys messed up metal because it's not on TV. What I'm saying is when you're in a metal category, it's not televised, and it doesn't move the needle forward for metal artists, and I wish they had more respect for the genre.

We're really excited to be even talked about in the same breath as Foo Fighters or Metallica.

Sometimes, I feel like my lyrics meander a little bit, and our songs are so big I need to write more words than are necessary.
