Thank you for posting the translation, Sebastian.

Thank you for posting the translation, Sebastian.

You're welcome! It was a nice exercise - I don't get to practice my English that often nowadays - plus you always end up learning how to use new words/expressions you hadn't really explored before. Whenever a new interview in Spanish surfaces, take me into account.

Seriously, I can't imagine how can someone get angry at James for saying "We".

He's such a cool guy and he's the goddamn singer, only he knows how he's going to do it.

Thanks Sebastian for the translation! I love how he talks about his "train of thought" while singing on stage, I took singing lessons some years ago and the school let us have some evenings to sing live, and when I was there on stage I was all thinking about how I was singing and how I should move more relaxed and so on 

Always nice to read from James, he's such a cool and relaxed guy, I can totally picture him keeping his own pace in the tour and going back to being a "normal dad" the moment he gets home.

I knew the dude was close to the band, but not THIS close.

No problem

Oh yeah, it happens!
Do you still sing?

[MirrorMask]

Nope, I did it from 2000 to 2007... but still I can come out of concerts with my voice 'cause I sing without ruining my throat, it helped in a sense 

[Logain Ablar]

Excellent interview and translation - thank you sir!

That's cool! That's a good idea. Nowadays, when I go to rock shows, even if I know and like the songs the band is playing, I don't sing - I prefer moving my head. Which, now I think about it, is probably worse than ruining your throat.

Thanks, that was a great read!  JLB is great.

I love how eloquent and concise he is regarding the writing process even though he doesn't play a major role in the composition of the songs.
