Jason Hook: My personal opinion - and I would probably get support from the other guys - is that it just really doesn't make that much of a difference to us the way we feel emotionally. For us it's great, we get that up close intimate energy that you don't get when you're playing for 80,000, even though 80,000 is cool as it is so many bodies and total chaos. It's intimate, and everyone is excited as this isn't something that happens on a regular basis. How does playing at such a small venue like this compare to Rock-am-Ring? It's weird for us 'cause we run into little brothers and sisters at our shows in the states that say, 'oh my brother and sister are in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Germany and wherever, so say 'hi' for me.' It's kind of why we're here. It gives us a chance to come here and everyone gets a little taste of home. Matt Snell: We were heading over here to do the big German festivals, and since we did the shows in Iraq and Kuwait, we decided any bases that will have us and were in the area if we are going to fly 12-15 thousand miles, we might as well do something with them. Were you invited to come to Spangdahlem or just choose to? Matt Snell: You would be surprised - go on tour for a while.

Jeremy Spencer: And eat good food - yes the Dining Facility, some of the best we have ever had. We just enjoy it we get to fly in all kinds of crazy planes and shoot guns. We just live in the states, and we see it on the news, and we wanted to come over and see it for ourselves and give everybody an hour to forget about it for a while and shake some hands and meet some people. It was a good experience for us to give thanks for everything the military does for us.

Matt Snell: We did a full military tour in Iraq and Kuwait a few months back.

Why did you decide to perform a free concert here at Spangdahlem? They had just finished a sound check and the show was going to start in three hours. I talked with Jeremy Spencer, drummer Matt Snell, bass guitarist and Jason Hook, guitarist. My hand noticeably trembled as I started the recorder. I was eager to sit down and talk to them to look into their world - oddly enough it is not that different.

How amazing would it be as a career? I have never found myself star-struck, and that was not the case here. I have always loved music, from metal to jazz. Not that I am a Five Finger Death Punch stalker who can tell you the family history of every member, but they do possess an unforgettable stage presence.Īs I talked with the sound crew and some of the marketing and services team, I thought about what it all must be like.


When I was informed that I might actually get to sit and talk with some of the band members for an interview, I could not believe my good fortune. What better way to shed the dismay - as I was feeling I should have asked for more time off - than to hear them twice in one week. I had just returned from a week of camping and concerts at that enormous festival, and to my surprise I was rewarded with the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite bands, Five Finger Death Punch. Oh, yeah, and the one time I saw Deftones live it was before Indiana went DST, so it was dark out, the stars were shinning, the moon was bright, it was a cool night (all great things to have while listening to them), and the crowd surfing was going clear from the top of the lawn section all the way down to the bottom of the lawn section in one continuous line.SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany - The heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch played a free show for about 500 military members, friends and family members here at the Skelton Memorial Fitness Center June 10, just days after playing at Rock-am-Ring, one of Germany's largest music festivals. People are wrong to call them "disciples of Korn" because they sound nothing like Korn (7 Words is the closest they come to sounding like Korn) and they were around before Korn (Deftones is 80s, Korn is 90s), the riffs are smooth and the grooves make for great "green" music, Chino has some awesome screams, Chi was an amazing bassist, and Maynard James Keynan (singer of Tool, APC, and Puscifer) cowrote and provided background vocals for their song Passenger. And I don't care much for the frequent use of military imagery.īut I band that I really love that many people don't and I don't know why is The Deftones. They didn't do very well for making a metal cover of Bad Company, and they should have never covered House of the Rising Sun (a song that no metal band has any business covering).
