See us for two nights with two different opening acts where we'll be playing two completely different sets… over 30 songs over the weekend… with no repeats! (Yes, that means you’ll only hear “Enter Sandman” once!) pic.twitter.com/6Lfl0dOt6W
“The concept that we were told ‘who we are’ by our
parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I
think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core
beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today,” continued his
statement.
“Much of our adult experience is re-enactment or reaction to
these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those
bondages we carry.”
