00:00You never realize how much music affects you until you're told to sit still.
00:10Number 23 on the Billboard charts.
00:15Once you accomplish that dream, that's when you find out if that's really who you are.
00:20That's a life-changing feeling.
00:22As musicians, we're tapping into that whenever we can.
00:26We're all in.
00:27There's no plan B.
00:28March 15th, the day the earth stood still.
00:46This is the most all-of-a-sudden thing that's ever happened in my life.
00:50You guys have to come home.
00:51What the hell's happening now?
00:52Then it got kind of scary.
00:54It was over everywhere.
00:56Maybe the year or the time of the huge stadium concerts are over.
01:04We didn't know how long it would be.
01:07I didn't think it would go as far as it did.
01:09We thought it was going to be temporary.
01:12Touring is the lifeblood of any band that wants to make a living.
01:16You have to tour.
01:17You have to play.
01:18We're not sure when we're going to be able to play again.
01:25It's starting to chip away at my soul.
01:32This pandemic has impacted everybody in the music community.
01:37Sometimes I feel like, wow, do I even belong here, you know?
01:43Just heartbreaking, man.
01:45How are we going to get through this?
01:46Dude, you got to call Annie.
01:48It's definitely tested us.
01:51Reduced capacity make it almost impossible for a band to play.
01:54How am I supposed to pay him?
01:55We've been all doing other things to make a living because it's been shut down.
01:59He ain't coming for free.
02:00When you have something that you love and it gets taken away from you for X amount of
02:05days, weeks, months, you just appreciate it more.
02:08We all really took this for granted.
02:11I miss that a lot.
02:13My favorite part of my job was connecting with the crowd.
02:15It's the whole connection with humanity that is the most powerful thing.
02:19People need that connection with other people.
02:22They don't have to come back.
02:25It's just a matter of time.
02:32It's a 20-year overnight success type of situation.
