But I was writing that part about how the future is unknowable, no matter how advanced our technology gets. People are not good with uncertainty these days. We all have these cell phones, which I call the pocket Jesus. You look to it for all your answers, but some things you just don't know. Uncertainty, you just have to deal with it. So I was writing about how if someone were to say,
I'm not going to sneeze two years from now or whatever. It doesn't matter how much you study sneezing. Every allergen you remove from your environment, you could be the boy in the bubble. You might be ready to sneeze.
Look it up. What's John Travolta?
Yeah, he had autoimmune disease, which basically meant he had no immune system.
And when he left, he had one of those ball things that like hamsters roll around in.
I've read about people with that to this day. But yeah, the whole point of that is I was talking about how the unknown is unacceptable. And if you say, I'm not going to sneeze, that's a ridiculous statement. By the way, don't try and hold back sneeze because you can rip your larynx. I also have read... And I'm very careful when I'm driving if I have to sneeze. Very careful.
So that you actually see what's going on. Because most of the time when you sneeze, you're just like, and driving is not the time to blink. So I'm just like, and I very purposely keep my eyes open.
I'm not a savage.
And then you touch your steering wheel again.
My voice gets deeper. I think everybody's naturally does.
You know, consistency, and you go out on tour, and a guy with a voice like that, he wants to deliver. People want to hear that.
You know, like, perfect. They want to hear it perfect. And if he can't hit that, you know, I understand. If it ever gets to the point where I'm like, I'm going to be okay, it's time to hang it up.
The more I sing, the better I get over the years. But certain falsetta stuff, I'm a bass baritone, so it's a little difficult for me.
No, I try not to do that around children.
You know, amazingly enough, the last time I had it tested, it was okay. When I get done recording or I come off tour, I lay down at night. And it goes away after a couple of days. Every now and then it'll just come beep, really high-pitched. But I do not have it like, per se, William Shatner has it. William Shatner got it on the set of the original Star Trek.
Remember when they'd be on the bridge on Star Trek and things would be on fire or whatever? The pyrotechnics exploded unexpectedly close to his ear while they were filming one day. And so Shatner has tinnitus so bad almost that he was considering suicide.
It was driving him crazy. So I think he's done some work with foundations to research that.
Mine has not been that bad whatsoever. Generally what I'll do if it's at the end of a tour and I have a little bit, I'll make sure there's a fan running, some sort of white noise until it fades.
I don't like recording Lamb of God.
Because it is physically painful.
