Not solely am I placing in my private finest on a working machine, I’m additionally fucking placing in my private finest by way of a rushing ticket as effectively. So when the album got here out, I used to be tremendous fucking stoked for it. We had some superb PAs this yr on the present and I might have Knocked Unfastened taking part in on my headphones, as a result of the factor is with Vecna and the costume and make up, I can’t put earbuds in.

So I’ll stroll onto the set sporting headphones, listening to this music, and I’ll hand over my headphones, clearly, as a result of I can’t have them within the shot. So I’ll hand them over, however I don’t pause the music as a result of my fucking fingers are fucked and I’ve acquired all this fucking make-up on.
