Cory Von Bohlen (Halo of Flies)
SPB: What do you think of band’s playing an entire album as a touring concept?

Von Bohlen: I think its fine. considering everyone's fascination with the "glory days" of most bands and the times in which said records occurred, it makes sense. That, and I think we've all wished such and such band would only play the "good" songs. its cynical, and perhaps a little on the nose, but I'd rather hear At the Gates play "Slaughter of The Soul" than play older (not as good imo) stuff. Same applies to most bands, I suppose.

I can hear Reign in Blood in my head in order, so they might as well play it that way. Now if only Def Leppard would do a High and Dry tour.

Shane (The Mistakes) SPB: What is the most tiresome stereotype about punk rock? I think for me the biggest stereotype about punk rock music is that it's simple music for with one core message of Anarchy, but it's so much more. Punk rock is where people can get an education … Read more
