Sometimes that mantle is hard to adjust to wearing but we are at a stage that we are comfortable with it and we recognize how we are perceived and how the real core individual that each one of us has apart from the facade that the public believes that we are.
There is absolutely no doubt that I am a more mature individual and Tommy Shaw is a more mature individual and that we learned a lot.
The band we have now on stage is the band I always wanted to be in.
We think Cyclorama - our most recent studio album - is a great record and everyone that has taken the time to listen to agrees with me.
So, We're really L.A. based with a secondary base in Chicago.
Yes, indeed, in fact I would tell you that we go out of our way to be true to the original feeling and sort of sonic and musical pallet that we painted with back then.
We're seeing that at the classic rock station in Chicago that they have teenagers and people in their 20s calling in for this music.
It is something we have always excelled at and prided ourselves at - the excellences of our stage performance.
