I could never change the overall feel of my music. That's why people like me - I don't follow trends, and I don't follow crowds.
I know what to expect from the crowd and enjoy playing in front of the big crowds.
Parklife is one of the festivals I most look forward to. The crowds are wild; I love seeing that energy, those sweaty moshpits.
I loathe crowds. I especially don't like cities. A city involves biomass. And biomass gets to me.
Obviously, playing in front of your home crowds really does a lot for your level.
I'm too scared to perform onstage. I'm not very good with big crowds.
If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds.
A lot of my musician friends have the same kind of anxiety and panic when faced with crowds of people, and I do, too.
I just play to the people I can see. So it's almost like you are playing to the first few rows of the crowd. You can see the faces of the first hundred people, but then it becomes a blur as the crowds disappear over the hill.
In Mumbai and Chennai there is method in the madness. Despite its large crowds there is a 'live and let live' spirit and a connection with good.
