thunder step. an experimental DnD comic from this past year, ft my girl Venity! big action big drama big sword.

What makes it different is the fact that I’m here on my own, and you know, seeing people outside the hotel, outside the venue, or actually at the shows in the crowd, and just kind of taking that moment in, just standing there... They are here for me now, not just me as part of the band. (...) I think from the very first tour day, absolutely everything about the show has grown, and I like to think I’ve gotten better as a performer, as a singer. The venue’s size has been increasing as each leg goes on, and actually that’s a pretty good chance for us all to kind of work on what the show is. Everything feels tighter, everything feels bigger, in a good way.

There’s a different kind of intensity, there’s a different kind of interpretation on being a fan, it just feels like extra fanatical over here and maybe because there’s just so much passion in the people and you actually see that across the border, it’s not just the music, you look to South American sports, especifically football, it has an incredible atmosphere, it’s just something magical what these people have.

The relationship between me and the band is definitely as closer as it has ever been. I think the show looks more visually exciting now, so the great thing about this tour is, since we started off, which is about four months ago now, the energy and the audience participation... You look at these shows, there’s not one person who is not engaged and giving something to the crowd. It just means that it’s just one of the best places in the world to tour.
