For the longest time I figured I was gonna die from drinking. But I realised that it was never just about me, and it was selfish to think that way. It was self-sabotage, and it took the longest time for me to get my head out of my ass. I always thought other singers were better than me, and I felt like I didn’t deserve it. Ivan: “It took me a long time to believe that I belong here. Which is great in some ways, but it started to happen in a way that was like, ‘Is he gonna fall off stage? Am I gonna get woken up one day and he’s dead in his bunk?’ I felt like it wasn’t fair that he was putting the rest of us in jeopardy and it wasn’t fair that he was making me worry about him all the time.” Then, when Ivan started drinking more and more, I felt like there was an unpredictability. When we got together, I felt like we were unbeatable, and I loved that feeling. Zoltan: “ Well, thank God, the thing that drove me crazy is now solved. Ivan: What’s the biggest thing that drives you crazy about me? How Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son lifted Iron Maiden to heavy metal immortality.Tool’s Danny Carey says new album to be released in April.Watch a grandma rock out on stage with Five Finger Death Punch.The Top 10 Best Five Finger Death Punch Songs.But sometimes people say incredibly rude things that’s really funny shit, and you’ve got to give it to them.” I don’t like the lame ones like ‘Five Finger Donkey Punch’. But I don’t read the garbage on Blabbermouth, and when I do it’s funny. So it’s easy to get to you because you react. You’re all emotion, because you’re the singer. Zoltan: “I’m like Spock and he’s like Kirk. TMZ has done so much shit about me! But I love doing interviews when I’m not being taken advantage of.” If you read anything on Blabbermouth, they fucking hate me, and I’ve never done anything wrong to them.
I don’t Tweet or have Facebook, I don’t do any of that stuff. You guys have a great gift of gab and great filters you’re less emotional. It’s like they want me to fuck up, because that’s how they get a good story. It’s not that I don’t like being interviewed, it’s that every time I talk, things are taken out of context, and they put all capitals on something that was a minute piece of the interview. Ivan: “I’m glad you asked, because we’ve never really talked about this. Zoltan: Why do you hate doing press so much? That’s one of the most irritating ones for me, too.” Then we were on an independent label with a shoestring budget, and people were like, ‘These big-money, corporate bands!’ Our first record was done in my fucking living room! It doesn’t get anymore DIY than that, but we’d get this corporate thing, as if it was contrived.” Zoltan: “Jesus Christ, where do I start? Well, we didn’t have a record label, a manager, or a booking agent, and without those things we were already getting big. Ivan: What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever read about us?
