When you're up onstage playing these Animosity songs today, what is the primary thing that goes through your head? I thank the Lord we're still hanging in there. We had a good time out on tours with everybody, doing the Ozzfest and things like that. The bands were all in it together and there was never any problems for us.

It felt like it was a little movement going on. When you look back on it, does it feel like a really distinct moment in time for heavy, guitar-based rock? There were so many new metal bands coming out in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. We were kids and we just out there trying to make a name for ourselves. And Locobazooka was one of those tours that was a hard tour. We went through it all and we're still here today. That's why I feel like we're still a band, you know? You have a lot of people out there are members of a group, but we're a band. But guess what? That's what it's all about. I remember a couple of times walking off the side of the stage and feeling like you were gonna pass out. I couldn't believe we were out there doing that stuff, man. It was summertime, it was hot, it was just sweaty – a hundred degrees. We were so young, and man, we were playing tarmacs and just crazy places. Which was definitely a product of that specific time… You went out with Drowning Pool and Fuel, and you headlined the first Locobazooka festival tour with Filter, Gravity Kills, Nonpoint, Mushroomhead and other acts.


You did a lot of touring around Animosity when it was first released.
