Flynn hat letztes Jahr nach dem Bloodstock eine entsprechende Erklärung abgegeben, warum er keinen Bock auf Festivals hatte.
Das lag nicht an einem RaR/RiP...
"To me, music is so much about a connection — it's about making a connection with people. That's always the goal with what we're doing. We stopped playing festivals for eight years. That was my first festival in the U.K. in 10 years. And I stopped doing festivals 'cause I didn't feel that connection with the audience anymore and I just needed to get my break from it."
"Obviously if every festival was like yesterday, I'd be like, 'Fuck yes! This is fucking sick,'" he explained. "I mean, it was insane — just insanity levels of fucking mayhem. It was incredible. But you've also gotta do the festival circuit. That's what people don't realize. You've gotta go to Serbia [and] you've gotta go to Budapest."
"I was just talking to Chuck BillyandGary Holt from EXODUS and TESTAMENT yesterday, and they're, like, 'Dude, we've been out here for eight weeks. I'm done.' They're just frazzled. And they still have 10 more days here. And they're just, like, 'I just wanna go home. I'm fucking sick of it.' And I get it — I get it, man. It's fucking hard — it's really hard doing the festival circuit.
