Metal Onslaught Magazine February 2015 Volume 1 | Page 32

hanging out with folks that didn't get drunk and throw up every night. I remember one night Cannibal Corpse was outside grilling steaks, and sitting in lawn chairs. I mean here are these guys that have been doing this for so long and all they wanted to do was relax! I have never seen that part of it, I always witnessed the other side. My biggest memory was with Avenged Sevenfold, they were like in thier own little world, I mean come on, they are Avenged! (laughing) I was watching them one night on stage and the ampitheater was like a half mile away from my bus and it started pouring down rain. Matt, the singer came up and said "What's up man, you want a drink?" So we go to his green room and he has this huge roll cage that is just for video games, so we talked about video games and drank for like four hours. Me being such a huge fan, I was like "This is so awesome!" He was such a cool dude, was just him and the security gaurds sitting and talking about video games..

Mike: Being in such a successful band as yours, do you still find yourself in situations where you "Fan Boy" out?

Levi: AH MAN! I am the worst fan boy (laughing) One time Kill Switch Engage's tour bus broke down, and they had to ride with us and use some of our bunks, and I am just sitting there thinking "WOW , Kill Switch just bummed a ride from us (laughing)

Mike: What was the whole experience like at Knotfest?

Levi: Man, Knotfest was great! It was sort of layed out like Mayhem Fest. We have never had an oppurtunity to play with Slipknot before so I was very excited. It blew my mind that the entire thing was just for one band. I like seeing the next level of stuff, and I had not witnessed somthing like that before. We where honored that Slipknot even noticed us enough to put us on the show!

Mike: Were you able to meet with any of the Slipknot guys when you where there?

Levi: Well some of the guys got to meet "Clown". I didnt get to meet anyone untll we did Slipknot Japan and it was a little closer quarters..but still I didnt approach them. I would see them go up to catering but I was always like "Nah, I'll leave them alone"

Mike: Another thing I wanted to discuss was your clothing line VERSA, can you tell us a bit about that?

Levi: It's kind of wierd to talk about it, because now it's like everyone is doing it. (laughing) I have been into doing things like that since I was ten. I wanted to originally start going to college for

graphic design. Obviously I chose to do this...But I saw that there were a lot of negative clothing lines out there. But the whole vibe of the brand is to be ambitious to follow your heart. The cool thing about the brand is I do all the designs, so it's nice to have that outlet.

Mike: What plans does MIss May I have for the future that fans can look forward to?

Levi: Man, we have a lot of stuff in the works, basically to all the fans dont go home! I can't say anything right now, but we are busy throughout the rest of the year!

Mike: What would you like to say to your fans around the world?

Levi: I just want to tell everyone to come meet us at the shows. Check us out online, man that's a hard question! (laughing) Man, I just hope everyone likes what they hear, we are just a bunch of guys trying to keep metal alive. I hope you like us! (laughing)
