(TeamRock Radio) Five Finger Death Punch say the most important part of being in the band is making sure fans have fun attending their live shows. The band are currently on tour across the US and will return to the UK in August for an appearance at the Reading and Leeds festivals. And guitarist Jason Hook says while making music is "cool" it's all about the fans and the live experience.
He tells FM99 WNOR: "I think what we've realized is that our job is to make people happy. The music's cool and we work really hard on the records, but once all that's done, we're really just out here the whole day at the concert - it's really just one meet-and-greet. It's for them."
Hook continues: "People come to us and they're very excited. You've got two choices - you either enhance their experience or destroy their experience, and I've seen a lot of bands that choose the latter. They don't get it.
"I think we decided early on that the most important thing is how people feel around us, and the feeling that they take home with them. It makes us feel good and it makes them feel good." Watch the full interview here.
