Jeff Schroeder (PhD in comparative literature):
I never really thought about it in that way of, “Oh, I should do some extra.” I just think that what I learned from joining the band 12 years ago is that there’s kind of a high demand for putting out quality work or a quality show. So it’s just kind of looking around and looking at what needs to be done, I guess different than other bands, which Billy and I to this day shouldn’t be shocked at that. People in the industry that work for you tend to be shocked that you actually care about how your guitar sounds or what you look like or what the video looks like, what the lights look like, what the sound is like. And so I think it’s just across the — I think you would find that all of us care that much. It’s not just me, it’s that we all care.
