We were scheduled there (The Station) for a week later, the following Friday.

Overkill has an active web presence. Do you find yourself getting to know fans better because of the net and your message board?

Of course. There's a certain sense of community that comes with this music. Some people don't just listen to this, they make it a huge part of their life. When we were doing the DVD, if we were doing just a local show in New Jersey, we were worth maybe 1300 people. We needed to put 1800 in that building to sell it out, and we did, based on the people on our site who traveled from different parts of the country. We had the German fan club there. They flew in. People from San Francisco flew in. There were people from Las Vegas, Texas, Cincinnati, Columbus, and on and on. I know them, and I know them well. I can call a lot of them by first name.

What are some types of sites you like to check out on the net?

I check out motorcycle sites. I look for after-market parts for bikes, new products. I'm all over the travel websites to book travel for the band. For fun it's girls in bathing suits and motorcycles.
