Interview with AJ in Atlanta, Georgia from the Sonata Arctica tour. Watch as they discuss the debut album, life on the road, and more!

Watch the video below to see AJ's latest interview, in The Hot Seat!

Hey Sick Drummer Magazine Readers! Bill Fore from Mutiny Within here with my weekly blog update.

I'm still struggling with the weekly part; on tour, you guys understand. Anyway, AJ spilled his entire fuckin’ iced tea on my shoes, pants, and laptop case. Was furious; in fact, it ruined my morning fact. I didn't even wanna eat the rest of my chicken nuggets I was so upset and it takes a lot for big Bill to not want his nuggets. But it's a new day, and I’m sure there's plenty of time for me to get angry at something else. My rage embarrasses AJ, or as I like to call him, 'Papa Jacobs.’ His fatherly instincts come out when I cause a scene.

Anyway, tour's sick. Sonata's great. They are talented dudes. Powerglove always puts on a show, and I love ‘Starbursts.’ The crowds are finally getting a feel for who we are and are really motivating us to put on a sick show each night. Having an album out for this tour is an obvious plus; rather than people mouthing made-up lyrics to the melody of our songs, they're now only mouthing half made-up lyrics to the melody of our songs, which brings a tear to my penis. They get an “A” for effort. Hopefully within the next few tours, Dark Tranquility and Soilwork, the crowds will continue to grow and show support for us like they've been doing all along.

Check back next Monday, tentatively, for week two of Big Bill’s blog and see what else is pissing me off; it'll be a long list. Peace be with you - Bill
