When asked about his thoughts on the matter:
“It’s definitely something that’s been really bugging me lately, especially since we were just with Randy in Europe right before this tour started. He’s got some pretty funny drunk pictures of me from Germany on his phone [laughs]. But yeah, we love those guys. It’s such a crazy thing to watch this happen. It’s real scary too because it effects everybody. If you’re an entertainer in any way, shape, or form, you’re a target. That’s what this means. HE didn’t do anything wrong. If you’re a fan and are going to jump on a stage, you should accept the responsibility of whatever happens. You’re not supposed to be on the fucking stage, that’s the bottom line. It’s so crazy.”
When asked about whether the incident has scared him from performing on stage:
“Am I scared? No. Ever since the whole Dimebag thing too, I think we all look at things a little differently. We all realized that anything can happen. But we love what we do, and that’s the bottom line. That’s what keeps us going.”
