मैंने पापा रोच (Papa Roach) के लिए काम संभाला क्योंकि हम ज्यादा कुछ नहीं कर रहे थे। अनरिटन लॉ (Unwritten Law) के कुछ और शो बुक थे, लेकिन साल के अंत में मुझे फिर से काम संभालने के लिए फोन आया। मैंने सोचा, "मुझे इन लोगों के लिए उपलब्ध रहना चाहिए।"
I filled in for Papa Roach because we weren't doing much. Unwritten Law had a few more shows booked, but I got the call to fill in again at the end of the year. I was like, "I have to make myself available to these guys."

मैं एक ऐसा ड्रम वादक हूँ जो बीट के थोड़ा ऊपर या आगे बढ़कर बजाता है।
I'm the drummer that kind of plays more on top of the beat.

आप हमेशा अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रदर्शन करने और जिस सामग्री का ऑडिशन दे रहे हैं उसकी पूरी जानकारी के साथ जाते हैं।
You always go in with the intention of playing your best and knowing the material you're auditioning.

मैंने अपने संगीत के सफर के दौरान ऐसे लोगों को देखा है जिनके पास शायद कोई शो (गिग) था, लेकिन उन्होंने उसे गंवा दिया क्योंकि वे वास्तव में उनके साथ आगे नहीं बढ़े।
I have known people throughout my years of playing where maybe they had a gig, but then lost the gig because they didn't really move forward with them.

लेकिन अपने संगीत में हमेशा से पूरी ऊर्जा के साथ परफॉर्म करना मुझे सही लगता है। ऐसा कभी नहीं लगता कि मैं उस पर ज़ोर डाल रहा हूँ, जैसे कि "हे भगवान, मुझे आज रात इतनी ज़ोरदार परफ़ॉर्मेंस देनी ही होगी!"
But being energetic in my playing is something I've always thought was the right thing to do. Like I'm never forcing it, like "My God, I've gotta play so hard tonight!"

कहने का मतलब है कि जब हम गाने लिखते हैं तो इस बात का पूरा ध्यान रखते हैं। गानों की लय (टेम्पो) बहुत मायने रखती है। जैसे, "अरे, हम गाना बहुत तेज़ नहीं बजा सकते वरना लोग उसे महसूस नहीं कर पाएंगे।" हर गाने की अपनी एक धड़कन होती है। आप इसे बहुत धीमा भी नहीं बजा सकते। हम हमेशा सही टेम्पो की तलाश में रहते हैं।
I mean that's something we're very conscious of when writing. Tempos are very important. Like "Oh we can't play the song too fast because people aren't going to feel it." There's a pulse to a song. You can't play it too slow. We're always trying to find the perfect tempo.

सच कहूँ तो पापा रोच (Papa Roach) बड़े-बड़े एरीना में परफॉर्म करने वाली एक बेहतरीन बैंड है। हर बैंड इस माहौल के हिसाब से नहीं होता। लेकिन आप लोगों की बेमिसाल ऊर्जा के अलावा, आपके गाने बहुत भव्य और जोश से भरे होते हैं। "किक इन द टीथ" (Kick in the Teeth) इसका एक बेहतरीन उदाहरण है, जो किसी छोटे-मोट क्लब शो के लिए नहीं, बल्कि भारी भीड़ के साथ मिलकर गाने के लिए ही बना है।
Papa Roach is actually a band that's great at playing arenas. Not every band is suited for that environment. But besides the huge energy you guys bring, the songs are very grand and anthemic. "Kick in the Teeth" being an example as a song that's made for huge crowd sing-alongs, not tiny little club shows.

पापा रोच सिर्फ इसलिए टूर नहीं करती कि बस टूर करना है।

मॉटली क्रू (Mötley Crüe) और निकेलबैक (Nickelback) के साथ उन शो को करने के बाद, जहाँ दर्शक थोड़े अधिक उम्र के थे, पापा रोच को उन दौरों से बहुत सारे नए फैंस मिले। और अब माता-पिता हमसे कहते हैं, "हाँ, हमारे बच्चे आपको बहुत पसंद करते हैं!" यह वाकई बहुत बढ़िया बात है।
After doing those Mötley Crüe and Nickelback shows where the demographic is a little older, Papa Roach got a lot of fans from those tours. And now we have parents saying "Yeah my kids are into you guys!" It's cool.

हम [पापा रोच] हमेशा और बड़े होने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। यह थोड़ा अजीब है क्योंकि जब उनके करोड़ों रिकॉर्ड बिकते थे, तब मैं बैंड में नहीं था। अब तो बस यही रहता है कि "ठीक है, हम और नए लोगों तक कैसे पहुँच सकते हैं।" हम ब्रिंग मी द होराइजन (Bring Me the Horizon) या ऑफ़ माइस एंड मेन (Of Mice and Men) जैसे युवा बैंड्स के साथ जुड़ने की कोशिश करते हैं। इन बैंड्स की चर्चा हमेशा होती है क्योंकि इनके श्रोता बहुत युवा हैं। लेकिन सच कहें तो, अब हमें भी अपने शो में काफी युवा लोग देखने को मिल रहे हैं, जो कि बहुत शानदार बात है।
We[ Papa Roach ]'re always trying to get bigger and bigger. It's weird because I wasn't around when they sold millions of records. Now it's just always about "OK what new people can we get to." We're trying to package up with younger bands like Bring Me the Horizon or Of Mice and Men. Those bands always get talked about, because their demographic is so young. But, actually we are seeing a lot of younger people at shows which is awesome.

जब कोई रिकॉर्ड लेबल आप पर पैसे की बारिश करता है, तो आपको वह पैसा चुकाना ही पड़ता है।
When a label is throwing money at you, you have to recoup it.

जब मैं बैंड से जुड़ा, तो वे हैरान रह गए, क्योंकि मेरा बजाने का अंदाज़ बिल्कुल वैसा ही था। लेकिन ज़ाहिर है कि पापा रोच के साथ संगीत में एक अलग ही ग्रूव (झुकाव) होता है। मुझे वो बड़े और धीमे ड्रम फिल्स बजाना पसंद है, लेकिन साथ ही पंक रॉक वाली बेचैनी और जोश भरना भी अच्छा लगता है। पर मुझे इसमें संतुलन बनाना ही होगा, क्योंकि अगर मैं हर समय बस तेज़ ड्रम फिल्स ही बजाता रहूँ, तो बात नहीं बनेगी।
When I joined, they were like "Woah, dude!", because I came right out of that type of playing. But obviously with P. Roach there's more groove. I like doing those slower big fills, but I also like injecting some of that punk rock urgency. But I definitely need to mix it up, because if I was playing all fast fills all the time, it just wouldn't work.

मैं जिस बैंड के लिए ऑडिशन दे रहा था, वहाँ सभी के बाल ड्रेडलॉक्स वाले थे, इसलिए मैं वहाँ थोड़ा अलग दिख रहा था। लेकिन मैंने गाने अच्छे से तैयार किए थे और जब हम रिहर्सल कर रहे थे, तो वह सुनने में बेहद शानदार लग रहा था।
The band that I was I auditioning for, they were just all like, dreads and stuff, so I did look kind of out of place. But I had learned the material and it sounded cool as f**k when we were rehearsing.

मैं तब भी पंक संगीत से जुड़ा हुआ था, साथ ही कुछ इंडी बैंड्स के लिए भी बजा रहा था, और मेरा हेयरस्टाइल भी अब उतना अजीब नहीं था।
I was still doing the punk thing, but also playing in some indie bands, I had a less crazy hairstyle.

हम बड़े-बड़े एरीना में अपनी जगह बनाए रखने के लिए पूरी मेहनत कर रहे हैं। हम [पापा रोच] ने अपने शो में कुछ छोटे-छोटे बदलाव किए जिनसे हमारा परफॉर्मेंस और बेहतर हो गया, और इस बात से हम बेहद उत्साहित थे।
We're striving to stay in the arenas. We [Papa Roach] had just little things that just took our show a step up and were so stoked for that.
