In a new interview with the “Into The Necrosphere” podcast, David was asked how he manages to maintain his high level of physicality on stage. He responded with:
“Well, I live pretty clean. Do I party? Yeah. But in general, especially when I’m on tour, I don’t touch a drop of alcohol before I get on stage. I just won’t do it. I’ve seen what that leads to, and I feel like that’s disrespectful to the audience for me to go up there and give them anything but a hundred percent of what I’ve got right. Now, a lot of people, different people have different opinions about that. But that’s my opinion. That’s how I work. Afterwards, yeah, have a few beers, whatever, but, again, thinking about tomorrow.”
“The next show is just as important as the one that you did and staying healthy on tour because let’s face it, if I get sick, If Rune gets sick, he may not feel good, but that doesn’t affect his instrument. If I get sick, then there’s my instrument. So, I have to take extra care of those things, drinking plenty of water, not going out afterwards and partying until three in the morning, trying to shout over a DJ in a loud club. It just doesn’t work.”
I respect this a lot, we all know some singers who put on a garbage show. And it’s sadly really common, I get it, I can’t blame them entirely, because it’s commonly used during concerts. Also, let’s be honest, we all love to drink. You can see the whole podcast below. Feel free to watch it and leave a comment.
