Suicidal Tendencies Frontman Regrets Not Building English Fanbase

(Metal Hammer) Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir says he regrets that the band haven't built up a bigger fanbase in England. The vocalist says the thrash heroes play small venues when they are in England and that they have, for whatever reason, never been able to attract young fans in the UK.

Muir tells Metal Hammer: "Honestly my biggest regret is that we're nothing in England. There's a lot of excitement everywhere, except in England as usual. But I think if we never do another English tour then I'll regret that.

"I know that we haven't because there isn't any demand for it, but when people talk they talk very loudly. One of the big differences is that we're able to play festivals in other countries and attract young people, people that don't usually come to our shows - that's our next generation.

"But when we do Download we're on the smallest stage, and it's all older people. I'm not going to discriminate about age, but it happens." Read more here.
