So that's real work, right?

Sure. I am the same guy. I think being in such an aggressive band, and there's this idea about people in bands as aggressive as mine, whether it be metal, hardcore, or punk, that are quote-unquote angry bands.

But again and again, you will hear from people who go to a metal show with a friend for the first time. They're like, everyone was so nice. And I think as far as the person on stage and the person in front of you, they're the same person.
