Five Finger Death Punchin Ivan Moody: ”Elän elämäni parasta aikaa”

Yhdysvaltalaisen metalliyhtye Five Finger Death Punchin laulaja Ivan Moody on kärsinyt uransa aikana alkoholismista, ja yhtye onkin joutunut peruuttamaan keikkoja, sekä soittamaan lukuisia keikkoja ilman Ivania. Nyt Ivan on antanut pitkän tauon jälkeen haastattelun KQXR 100.3 The X Rocksille, ja kertonut voivansa tällä hetkellä loistavasti ja elävänsä elämänsä parasta aikaa.

”Dude, I am doing so [well]. And I’m not just saying it — I’m having the best time of my life right now. I’m clear-headed, I’m conscious. It’s just nice to be present.

”Somebody [came up to me], I think it was just the day before yesterday, and they were, like, ’So good to see you,'” he continued. ”And I thought [to myself], ’It’s so good to be seen.’ Because it really is a struggle, man, and it’s a daily thing. And I have a lot of friends that are in recovery, especially in the music industry; you’re kind of surrounded by it. I’ve had a lot of great support. Luckily, my bandmembers, they didn’t give up on me.”

Do I go out there and start screaming at people for judging me, or do I just step back off the ledge and realize that there’s a reason they are.’

”It’s so good to be alive, man,” he added. ”You know, you look at how long a person lives… Possibly, if they’re really lucky, somewhere in the 80s. So my life is pretty much half over, is how I look at it. And that’s not a negative thing. I just wanna make sure the next half of it is everything and more.”
