Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys, Watchtower), Sabrina Cruz (Seven Kingdoms), and Farhad Hossain (Shumaun) talk with SLAM’s own Jack Mangan about:

*Common perceptions of singers as lazy, ego-maniacal primadonnas.
*The pressures on the singer to perform through sickness, fatigue, insecurity, etc.
*Warmup rituals and voice care.
*Love for: Jack Frost, Todd LaTorre, Municipal Waste, Pat Benatar, Geddy Lee, Elton John, Metallica, David Lee Roth, and more
*Wait, are singers burping onstage??

Quotes from the episode:
*It looks exactly like a bong, but it’s not.
*LSD: Lead Singer Disease.
*it’s that whatever your kung fu is. It’s not going to be my kung fu right? And I’m amazed at that that there’s just not one way for each of us to get through the day and tomorrow might be different.
*I like the weirdo Metal.
*This is really awesome and therapeutic for me to talk to you guys about this shit, because obviously it’s a thing.
*People don’t reach out because it means . . . they think they failed.
*I’m very introverted, right? So when I’m on stage, it’s like a different side of me than how I am like offstage.
*I’m a woman. So I get. . . extremely sexualized.
