I saw [the album cover for ] and was like, 'oh my -- damn. That has got to piss some people off.' [...] It's one to have people dying in your [albums… - George Fisher

It’s a pain in the ass [...] A woman saw someone wearing one of our shirts, I think she is a schoolteacher, and she just caused this big stink about it. So [now] we can't play anything from the first three records. And it really sucks because kids come up and they want us to play all the old songs — and we would — but they know the deal. We can't play 'Born in a Casket' but can play 'Dismembered and Molested.' Talk about getting lucky, because I can’t see why they wouldn’t want to ban that.

I don’t want people to think I’m the maniac that people think I am, think all of us are. We’re five guys in a band, touring, living our dreams, playing metal. We could sing about politics, but we’d get into way more fights and arguments way more than we do now. We could be a Satanic evil band, you know, or a super religious band, you know, really getting both sides of the coin there. Metalheads don’t give a fuck, we accept everybody.

I guess a [crucial] part of our popularity is that you don’t go in there worrying about listening to me preach that Hillary’s right and Trump’s wrong, or Trump’s right and she’s wrong, because we don’t care about that. As far as our music goes, on stage, we’re just singing about what we sing about. Hopefully everybody’s having a good time, hopefully everybody gets to the show safe, leaves the show safe, and comes back for more. [...] If people can escape with us, then, yeah, you know? And I wouldn’t say don’t listen to bands who are political, like Napalm Death is; there’s definitely those bands, and that’s good. That’s what’s in his heart, and he should do that. If I would make a band that’s talking about politics, I would do a side band. That’s not going to be in Cannibal. This whole world should just start thinking, “Just because you stand a little this way, or stand a little that way, that doesn’t mean we can’t all come together and try to compromise.” Don’t let politics and religion divide you. I don’t want to be conspiracy-esque, but I’m going to say this and it’s going to be conspiracy-esque, but [division is] what I think some people want.
