It’s something for which you have to be ready. You ask yourself, “Is that what you want to do?” Some people find out, “That’s not for me,” and I totally get it. It takes time away from your family, kids, girlfriends, wives, dogs, cats and everyone. At the end of the day, when you do 150 shows per year, you find out how much you have to sacrifice. When you were not able to tour and didn’t have the opportunity to tour, you didn’t know what it was like, and you had a certain imagination of what it would be like. How do you keep it together?Ī: Touring is that it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. At the same time, we like to come up with new stuff we haven’t done before. So, I can hear the band progressing without losing what we had on the first album and the albums after that. Everybody has gotten better on their instruments. We haven’t been searching for our sound we’ve had that from the very beginning. We’re keeping the sound we have from very start, and we also have our own sound. So, when it comes to “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies,” where does the album fit in Volbeat’s overall catalog?Ī: I can definitely hear the band progressing for each album we do. So we finally sat down and talked, and now that tour is here. We’re good friends with Five Finger Death Punch, and for the longest time, we couldn’t find the right time to put a tour together. Q: What makes this Volbeat, Five Finger Death Punch tour a good fit?Ī: We don’t really know! It’s sold a lot of tickets, so it seems like people are really happy about it. Speaking from his homeland, frontman Michael Poulsen chatted with me about the tour and very personal meaning behind “Dead but Rising.” Volbeat is out on a cross-country tour with Las Vegas-based hard rock band Five Finger Death Punch, and on Sunday reaches the DeltaPlex in Grand Rapids. Anthemic choruses, catchy melodies and power chords fill the Danish band’s current release, “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies,” with songs such as “Dead but Rising” and “Lola Montez” ruling the rock radio charts. Volbeat constructs high-energy, towering songs that incorporate metal, punk, rockabilly, country and hard rock.
