You know it’s you grow up as a teenager and your dream is to be a rock star, I mean there’s not many like teenage guys especially dreaming of other ways of fame, like I’m dreaming being an architect. No way, you wanna rock out! It’s so visceral, you know what I mean? So I think you know we’re growing up, we’re hitting our forties, startin to grow old and uh just wishing that you had a chance to rock out. It’s every man’s dream. |

Yeah I think there’s a lot of comedy to be gained from people that are kind of have big blind spots, you know they’re not very self aware, and you the audience get to kind of get behind them and go on a journey with them because they’re just so damn oblivious all the time, so I think that’s something that both Dwight and Fish have in common. |

No not at all, I mean I definitely played some musical instruments, so I had some musical talent, but uh I had to work pretty hard with the drum coach several weeks before we started filming and uh not just work on regular drumming but on heavy metal drumming, you know this kind of stuff. Boom chi boom ha boom ha. Getting the crowd pumped up, all that stuff. |

Absolutely. I mean we got to rock out in arenas, you know, for thousands of people watching and play the actual songs, and uh it’s really pretty thrilling when you hear that just the roar of that crowd you know uh and uh it uh I had a little rock and roll fantasy camp. |
