I like the behavior characteristics of the animal
They’re extremely loyal, they’re highly emotional animals
I like that pack mentality. They’re very quiet and reserved
But then they can be the total opposite flip if they have to be
Nature is this really beautiful thing. It’s a really scary thing at the same time
The beauty of nature, the grotesque part of nature
It’s putting together all the stuff that essentially we block out
Not just the parts that we like to pick out and to dress up and make it look nice
It’s kind of everything, the whole package of what it all is
I wanted something that almost sounded more like a band name
The whole idea behind this was more about how you build out a band rather than a restaurant
It would be like metal music, mixed with someone like Max Richter or Philip Glass
Everybody knows their parts, everybody knows each other’s strengths and weaknesses
and then all together it’s like they can come together and make this sound
Doing this isn’t for everybody
it’s a total different scenario that you’re putting yourself into
There is no hierarchy of back of the house, front of the house, to diner
It’s just like one blurred line across the board; people can see what we’re doing
It amps up the intensity for what we have to do, which I like
and also it’s interesting because people can see basicly the dance
I’m the type of person who would rather see the making of the movie, than the actual movie itself
I hate that idea of: “Entertain me, entertain me, entertain me, entertain me!”
You know just that thing of just somebody sitting there: “Entertain me”
You know whereas it’s, well no, I’m not here to fucking entertain you,
you’re here to be a part of the experience but it’s not just this. It’s other things in your life
You are making your own experience. They’re an active part of the entertainment
I have a vision of what I want Wolvesmouth to be
and it was never conceived with the idea of feeding 200 people a night
because there’s an intimacy that is lost
So it’s cool to be able to talk to so many different types of people from so many different walks of life
Being able to be a part of someone’s memory of: “Oh I had this awesome time at this one place,”
is a pretty awesome thing to be able to do
There’s so much stuff that we’re kind of exposed to these days
to be able to kind of stick out and have an experience that is a lasting experience
They might have a great conversation that they may have otherwise not had
All life is is a bunch of stories anyways
