? Maybe it is just me, but it seems like Sacrament has lots of religious or spiritual undertones. Was this a conscious effort? ** Randy: Well of course! All our albums have had some religious symbolism. It is traditional of heavy metal, and it goes back to Black Sabbath, the first heavy metal band. The Bible is a really cool book, and it is just an awesome vehicle to convey metaphors that people understand.

? How did it feel to be nominated for a Grammy alongside other awesome bands like Slayer, Mastodon, Slipknot, and Shadows Fall earlier this year? ** Randy: Those are our friends, so it was nice I guess to be nominated with our friends but I don't give an f*ck. A Grammy means nothing to me. My band went to appease their wives or whatever, but I didn't even go. Who cares if some industry schmuck wants to give me some little golden statue? I don't need it for validation of what my music means to me.

? I always like to ask bands if they have any crazy touring stories. What's the most outrageous thing you guys have ever done to kill boredom on the bus? ** Randy: Haha not really. We're kinda old and tamer now. If you want good touring stories, read the Motley Crue book. They've kinda ruined touring in the 1980s for everyone else.
