“On this album cycle in particular, we started doing something we’ve never really done before, which is going back to play rare songs that we’ve never played before, or songs that we didn’t really play too much,” he says. “In doing so, we were able to play songs that we haven’t played to death. It’s actually been a lot of fun. I mean, there are songs that we’ve played hundreds of times, that it’s hard to get excited about when we’re playing them. We do our best. If we’re playing in front of a great crowd, it doesn’t matter what we’re playing — we’re having fun. But when we pull out these rare old songs, to me they’re just as much fun as playing the new songs that we’ve only played a handful of times. It’s sort of like playing a set of all new songs, and it’s been so much fun.”

If only some other bands could see this as a great idea.
