If it was Slipknot it’d be ‘Sick’, one of my favourite songs. I love all those bands, especially Slipknot! If it was Def Leppard, it might be ‘When Love & Hate Collide’. footprint includes the GQ Gentlemens Ball and the annual GQ Men of the Year. If you could cover a song from any of our headliners what would it be? For over 20 years, GQ has influenced the Australian man. Our headliners this year are Def Leppard, Slipknot and Tool. Hopefully we’ll release an album next year. We are working on a lot of things right now and recording a lot of new stuff. Yes, a lot – especially our drummer! We like to play Mario Bros, Mario Kart, we also like to play a football game called Winning Eleven.ĭoes this new song mean that there’s more new music on the way? The song is featured on the PlayStation game, Left Alive. You’ve just gotta have the guts and the courage to just go for it. It’s all your responsibility, no one else’s. It’s all about searching for meaning and choosing your way – that’s what life is all about – make up your mind and pursue what’s out there. You’ve just released a new single ‘Left Alive’. Slayer! There’s also a band from Japan on the line up that I really want to see called Crystal Lake. Who are you looking forward to seeing on the line up? Download, in particular, has its own character and is very original. You know, Japan is a really tiny country -but, there’s tons of festivals in such a tiny place! It’s not that different, but I’d say that the festivals in the UK are a lot more significant – they have their own character. How do UK festivals compare with Japanese ones? You’re playing at Download Japan as well.

But, now we’ve been touring a lot, in the UK as well, so hopefully a lot more people will get down to see us! When we played last time, that would have been the first time seeing us for a lot of people – it was the first time we’d played the festival. What will be different when you play this time around? It was just such a great moment to play in that atmosphere. What are the best memories from that?Īctually, everything! A lot of my friends have taken part in Download Festival before – bands from Japan like, Crossfaith, and they were really happy for us to be a part of it too.
