The first show he did with us was in front of 30,000 people, so it was a good test for him to get his feet wet. He totally knocked it out of the park. It was a great night. That first show was really killer.About.com Heavy Metal: You worked with [producer] Sascha Paeth again on this album.

He's great on honing in on what we do in terms of songwriting. For this record,Wholesale Jerseys, we didn't want to mess around with the chemistry, and going with Sascha was a no-brainer. We wanted to keep everything as consistent as possible with this record,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, and that started with making sure the songs were in line with what we had done in the past. We didn't want to have any more major changes.
