FIVE MINUTES WITH MICK JEFFERY AVERSIONS CROWN
The Aussie deathcore guitarist stays off drugs but is addicted to European crime shows
WORDS: RICH HOBSON
What’s the worst thing about being in a band?
“The lack of normality in your life. You miss out on a lot of things people otherwise take for granted - even down to something like sleeping in a bed or having a shower.”
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
“When I was at university I was given this outlook where being a musician is almost a noble cause; you’re sacrificing a lot of things in your life to make other people happy, so you’ve got to be passionate about it. People aren’t generally interested in how you get there, they just want to see a good show. It’s always stuck with me and I keep it in mind when on tour.”
