Does Mike like to play old songs or does he prefer to play more new songs?
MP: I like playing the old stuff when they are more obscure. I’m sick to death when I’m playing Pull Me Under and Metropolis. I’m bored silly playing those songs, but I like playing any song that we hadn’t played for a while, whether it be an old one or a new one. So something like Anna Lee is fun because we don’t play it very often and I love to play The Killing Hand for the same reason. To me it’s all part of the band’s history, so whether it’s new or old I think it’s all relevant and I understand the fans like to hear the old songs.
