We had a relaxed interview with Live drummer, Chad Gracey in 2003. He spoke extensively about their latest CD, "Birds of Pray". Live have been touring all over the world and we asked Chad what the differences are between the European and American fans.

"The European fans love music and they don't care what it is and the Americans are a little more judgmental and picky...but it's all good."

this guy is more like me, camera shy, doesnt really wanna be in the spotlight nervous as fuck and cant let loose woithout alcohol or something similar, though CG probably lets it all come out when he's on the drums; pent-up rage. Lol, he seems so uncomfortable and i can so relate. !! Good interviews
