But then there was a moment where Bill Stevenson, the drummer, who's a super intense guy and really one of the creative forces behind the band, he gets up and he starts walking towards the crowd. And Milo's like, sit down, go back behind the drums. And he's like, no, I want to say something.

And I was like, I got to take a picture of this because this is going to be like he's really connecting with us.
