Trivium: Metal Hammer interview - “‘Why do you suck?’, that’s not a fucking good question!”
Metal Hammer interviewed Matt and Paolo from Trivium for a Spanish Inquisition and even after the interview done they kept talking…here’s some part of what they said:
Metal Hammer: Thanks guys, that was great.
Matt: “That was fun. I want more jerks. I like the hate shit, I wish there was more.”
Paolo: “We should do a thing where it’s only people who hate us can send in questions, so we can answer them. Like the dicks who write in, ‘Why do you suck?’, that’s not a fucking good question.”
Matt: “I bet anyone that says ‘why do you suck’ would suck at guitar. People can hate our music, but they can’t hate us because we’re good people who believe in being good to each other. They can’t say we suck at our instruments because we’re probably better than them, unless you’re Dragonforce, who’re better than us at guitar.”
Matt: “There was this kid back home who I helped out. He made tribute CD for a Disney cartoon. A fucking Disney cartoon. I recorded it for $10 a day, back when I had a shitty digital 8-track. After that he came to our House of Blues show in Orlando and Paolo pretended like he wasn’t in the band and this kid was mouthing off like, ‘Matt Heafy’s dad bought him a studio, that’s why they’re signed now’. And I saw this kid in our line to buy a CD and get it signed.”
Paolo: “When he saw me he was so embarrassed. All the kids in the queue were like ‘he’s in the fucking band you idiot. He kept apologising.”
Matt: “I did this kid a favour. He made a concept album on a Disney cartoon. I didn’t even laugh man. And he wanted to make up all those rumours and shit. It’s like, dude, my dad didn’t buy me a studio, I got an $250 8-track for Christmas one year.”
Metal Hammer: You’ll have to start the band’s biography with that story…
Matt [in a fake officious voice]: “Back when Matt’s dad bought him the Roadrunner contract, he made love to pornstars and drove cars through flaming buildings. And that’s why they’re millionaires right now.”
Paulo [laughing]: “They make it sound like Matt’s dad just goes up to the bar and yells, ‘hey, studios are on me!’.”
Matt [laughing]: “You know he paid off Maiden, that’s why they’re bringing us out. I think we should just make up our own rumours from now.”
