So, now than you took a breath..
Yes, some!
You work out a lot, for a long time now.
I've always been working out.
- Always. - Exactly.
How does working out help you in your life?
It helped as far as discipline is concerned.
Off course, that was already a trait of my character.
But, when you continuously do something, again and again..
Then, it becomes part of you. This struggle of trying to improve oneself.
All this, was tranfered when playing music. It felt natural.
In the beggining, we only played some covers.
It gradually progressed.
I ended up wanting more and more.
Discipline is essential when you're trying to play a music instrument, or sing.
You have to be devoted to that purpose, each and every day.
It also helps with your physical presence when performing.
Working out helps you endure the constant travelling,
many hours of sleep deprivation,
to endure the stress of a live performance, the fatigue,
and some times, the hunger.
You begun playing an instrument and singing at the same time?
Or, did you realise later that you can sing?
Shortly after I begun playing.
When I first heard Metallica, I was very excited.
The first impression of Hetfield's voice made an impact on me.
His whole presence on the scene was more than perfect.
I liked it so much. And I wanted something similar.
I started playing guitar and singing, almost at the same time.
When I started playing the first Metallica covers...
When you first held your guitar...
Yes. I held my guitar and I thought to myself that this is what I should do.
Not that it was the best idea, because it's very difficult to play and sing at the same time.
If you want to sing and play proprerly, that is.
It was almost at the same time.
How did Full House B.C. come into your life?
Full House were formed shortly after.
When I first started playing, at the same time, I started writing songs.
It just came naturally to me.
The formation of a band was a natural consequence.
The musicians in the band rotated and changed, as time went by.
It was really simple.
There wasn't somekind of a plan.
What will we do today? We will form a band, we'll call it "this", and we'll play "that".
That comes after years of expeirience.
When someone leaves a band and wants to create something different.
Someone who knows exactly what he wants to do in music.
Tell me the story of how you became a member of Rotting Christ.
The story begins 6 years ago.
I learned via a friend that two members had left the band, George and Andreas.
The guitar player, and the bass player, for those you may not know.
I was very interested because Rotting Christ was the second band that I listened and loved.
Imagine that this was a massive opportunity for me.
When you grow up listening to a band it becomes huge in your mind.
I sent an e-mail to Sakis. His e-mail was on the page.
And he answered. I was very excited.
My mail was about the guitarist position. He told that they had already found George.
He had already entered the band but they hadn't made it publicly official yet.
He then asked me if I would be interested for the position of the bass player.
Off course, I was interested. I had already played the bass for a project.
I wasn't unfamilliar playing the bass.
I also record the bass for Full House B.C. I never had a problem playing bass.
So I happily accepted.
After some time he asked from all the candidates
two songs on video.
Songs of our choice.
I sent those two songs.
Next thing was that Sakis came and found me.
We met up.
It was Saturday when we met.
He told me that the next day would send me one or two songs.
We would practice together on Wednesday and Thursday.
I was okay with that and the conversation was very brief.
He sent the songs the next evening. And the songs were eight.
The problem was that he didn't choose the songs they usually play in concerts.
He wanted to change the setlist, as well as the band members.
Some songs, I had never heard before.
I thought to myself, "Now you have 8 songs to learn, and 3 days to do it."
It was Sunday afternoon, and I lock the door and say "That's it".
From that moment on, I played the songs all the time.
I had to transcribe the songs by ear.
Fortunatelly, I could listen to the songs at work too.
So, for eight hours I would listen to the songs and take notes.
Again and again. I wrote, I corrected.
Like you' re reading for University exams.
That went on for 8 hours. Then I would sleep for 2 hours to get some rest
and then I would continue in the afternoon for 6 or 7 hours more, and that was everyday.
The day of the audition, I took the day off from work.
I called in sick, to have the whole day at my disposal.
We auditioned for two days.
Everything was perfect from the beginning. I wasn't stressed.
I felt really good with all the guys. They were very friendly.
We were playing the songs bits by bits. We were stopping and doing it all over again.
I just had to be really concentrated.
That note, on this part. Change that, do this. I had to do it instantly.
You had to remember it.
I didn't want to make a mistake. I wanted to be the quickest.
I dont' know how many musicians they auditioned.
This is the story, in short.
One day, they call me to meet up.
To talk about the position of the bass player.
Off course, when you take a position that doesn't mean that it's yours forever.
You always have to try and fight if you want to be in the music world.
The battle is daily.
You have to stand your ground.
Yes. Nothing comes without effort.
Taking the position is the first step. The next one is to keep it.
Exactly.
And you have to evolve.
Nothing is stable. Either you evolve, or you fall.
So, in order to remain at a certain place, you have to progress.
You are experiencing two different worlds.
One world is that of a very big band and the other is of your band.
You mean that my band is not that big?
It will grow in the future!
The one of an upcoming band.
- Yes. An upcoming band. - Yeah, now you saved it.
What were your feelings in your first big live performance,
and your first ever performance.
I was a bit nervous.
I used to play in boxing games for many years in front of people.
In that case, when you lose it means that you got beaten up.
Playing music in front of an audience was much more fun.
You didn't have anything to lose.
It's ok to miss a note or two. It's not the end of the world.
You won't hurt anybody.
There was the stress of performing good, playing without mistakes, and all that.
The main sentiment was that of the adrenaline.
The thoughts were, "I want to do it". "I want to present something".
I wanted to share all the feelings I had all this time,
in my house, in the studio...
As far as a bigger live is concerned,
my first big live performance
was our 3rd live with Rotting Christ, in Italy at a festival.
Threre were 1000 people there. For me, that was a big number.
It's not only the number of people, it's from where you see them also.
If the stage is low, you can't see far.
That was a big and high stage, and you could see everyone.
It was a big festival, in a very beautifull place in Italy.
Strangely, I wasn't stressed.
There was some suspence before going on stage.
It was a Rotting Christ live.
There's always that feeling.
The intro was playing, and I remember Sakis telling me, "Let's go!", "Don't be stressed!".
And I was like, "What stress? Let's go and burn the place down!".
It entered my life naturally.
I never felt stressed.
Even in bigger shows with Rotting Christ.
At Graspop, Hellfest the numbers are completely different.
In Czech Republic we played in front of 22.000 people.
After some point the numbers don't matter. There are just many people watching you.
Whether there are 10 or 15 thousand, you feel the same.
Off course, it's not the same. 5.000 are a lot of people.
I am very lucky to have the opportunity to do this kind of thing.
As far as the two worlds are concerned...
The basic difference is that in one occasion I sing and play. I'm the frontman.
All the attention goes on me.
I am the one that I have to prove what you're worth, before everyone else.
You, obviously, don't know what the future beholds.
What's your ideal scenario as far as music is concerned?
The ideal scenario is to see what you create
to be aknowledged,
to be successfull, to reach and be loved by people.
To be shared by the people.
To be able to live by creating music.
Whether it's with Rotting Christ, whether it's with Full House B.C.,
you always give something. You give something from your heart.
So, you always want that connection.
It's an emotional give and take situation.
As far as Full House B.C. are concerned, I would like it to become something big.
I don't think there's anyone that would say otherwise.
I will try for the best, as i do for everything I get involved in.
I want to dedicate time, thought and love for what I do. Whatever that is.
I want my music to touch people and I'll do my best to accomplish that.
We thank you very much for talking to us.
I thank you for the invitation. It was my pleasure.
What do I say now?
