I think I speak for everyone when I say I'd rather see Leon play live guitar but do you think you'll have to consider playing drums live temporarily until you find a live drummer? Also, do you think it 'hurts' a band when they don't tour?

It's something to consider, but this brings up the question "who are we going to get to play guitar in my place".

We've tried out LOADS of musicians over the years and the only ones who were good enough are in the band. Ben was an ok live drummer but he decided to leave for various reasons.

Even if we were to find a drummer, it would take a huge amount of dedication and practice to pick out the drumming on 'worlds..' as its not just mindless blasts and simple death metal beats.

The same would apply to anyone we thought of getting in on guitar.

We couldn't ever play live with me on drums and just one guitar, the sound wouldnt be full enough with one guitar, whoever was playing it.


I don't think it really hurts a band when they don't tour. I don't buy cds of bands I see live, in fact out of all the gigs ive been to, i've only ever ONCE bought a cd based on a live show.

Hopefully, rather than playing endless shows, the fact that we don't will make it more special when we do for us as much as for the fans.
