Falling In Reverse praat over Warped Tour

In een recent interview van de heren van Falling In Reverse met magazine Loudwire, vertelden zij over hoe het hen op de Warped Tour bevalt. De band is al een tijdje non-stop op tour ter promotie van hun album “The Drug In Me Is You”, die in de tweede helft van 2011 uitkwam. Momenteel zijn zij, zoals bekend, één van de headliners op de Warped Tour, die op plekken door heel Amerika en zelfs in Engeland plaatsvindt. Over zo’n druk tourleven valt natuurlijk genoeg te vertellen, hieronder kun je een fragment uit bovengenoemd interview bekijken. Enjoy!

How has the Warped Tour experience been so far for you guys?
– Ryan Seaman: It’s just been so crazy, some of us have been doing Warped Tour for a long time with other bands and it’s really awesome to be on main stage now. It just all happened so fast and the record hasn’t even been out a year yet.

Speaking of the record, has performing the songs live made you feel any differently about the songs than when you first recorded them?
– Jacky Vincent: Well when your adrenaline is pumping and you’re onstage the songs seem a lot slower.
– RS: Yeah, I guess you could say that. At the moment we play to a click track meaning like it’s a metronome in my ears and some days I really want to speed up but I’m sticking with what the song calls for.

I heard some of the Falling in Reverse band members are keeping fit with the Insanity challenge.
– RS: Ronnie [Radke] and I were doing it up until Warped Tour and now we’re not. [Laughs] He does it every once in a while. He works out all the time, he’s always busy doing press stuff and signings but I’m sure he’ll pick up again in a couple weeks. Ronnie and I wanted to do Insanity because we felt our stamina would be built up for Warped Tour like when it’s so hot out we would just be coming off stage like “Woo!” when everybody else would be tired.

What would you say is the weirdest thing on the Falling in Reverse tour bus?
– RS: Right now we have this huge Benjamin Franklin pillow case it’s like this gigantic thing, we played next to a Six Flags in Buffalo and we just got a big ass pillow. That’s probably one of the weirdest things on the bus right?
– JV: Yeah, I’m gonna try to cash it in at Bank of America.
– RS: We got some fireworks, too.
