L.O.G.’s John Campbell Interview

Maine’s Sun Journal conducted an interview with Lamb Of god Bas player John Campbell. It’s kinda a generic interview, obviously not by someone that is very familiar with the band but it’s a decent basic interview. Click on the link at the bottom for the full monty.
“Full name, age: I’m John Campbell, and I just turned 35 in September.
How did you get involved with the band? We met in college. I started playing bass in ‘90, ‘91, and the band started in ‘94.
Where you into metal when you got to school? I was not, and (another band member) Randy was not. But Chris, Mark and Willy definitely were. They turned me onto metal in the dorms. We lived on the same floor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
So…the music is angry and heavy. Were you angry? Oh no, definitely not. We were happy.
Did you envision this for yourself as a younger guy? Does anybody in college really know what they want to do? I didn’t really know. But I knew there was a really strong artistic community over here and I knew I’d find something really cool. And I managed to pull that one off, too.
What do you do when you’re not on tour? I’ve been working out in my yard, hanging with my wife and dogs.
So, what’s the best part of being on the road? The best is being able to play. Really, the best part of the day is playing the show. The worst is being away from home and living in a metal tube with 6 to 11 other people.
Do you get along well? Yes, we get along well. We’ve known each other for a long time, but as evidenced in our DVD that just went platinum, we get to throwing punches from time to time.”

Yea, it’s got your typical interview questions, but it’s not bad. I really like the picture of John.
