    This is a great interview. I just love John. He’s so laid back and cool! Much respect for his comments on Jen Ledger. I give mad props to her as a drummer and sister in Christ! I love the relationship between Jen and Korey! They lift each other up and that’s very inspiring.

    I'm kinda upset the album didn't get higher on the billboard 200 like unleashed did, but it's still an amazing album. In my opinion, it's better than unleashed. Also you symphonic rock songs are the best, not gonna die is still my favorite song. Also, post malone? gross xD

      You are entitled to your opinion, but I find the Unleashed album overall more enjoyable. Perhaps the more consistently heavier guitars are what get me, especially "Out Of Hell" and "Breaking Free"

      @@nurfacealways I listen to Billie eilish and yes one of her songs is sacreligious sounding, but her other songs have good meanings like Lovely and I love you etc. As Christians we should be able to control ourselves and ignore the anti-Jesus lyrics and that is what John's wife does. If you followed him on any of his social medias you would see how much of a strong believer he is in Christ. He posts about Jesus often. And he doesn't cuss or do drugs and he calls false prophets out when they are doing wrong. He wrote a whole article about it recently. And he knows that adultry is wrong and gay marriage is wrong and he is an open proud Christian. Don't judge him and put words in his mouth. You sound like a Pharisee.
