"I also spend a lot of time watching movies, either on the TV or on the tour bus. At the moment it’s a tradition of the band to watch ‘The Big Lebowski’ every day in the dressing room. It’s always play-ing and for whatever reason we’re all familiar with the dialogue, so it’s often repeated. | "I also spend a lot of time watching movies, either on the TV or on the tour bus.

Sound-wise things are really raw right now. It’s the best — and the longest — set that we’ve done.
