We caught up with John after Darkest Hour's set on the first night of the Machine Head tour. We talked about what they're looking forward to on the rest of the dates. John also gave us some exclusive insight into the darkest aspects of driving around in their van (which has 245,000 plus miles). And we captured a bonus moment with a DH fan from way back. Turns out this kind of interruption is preferable to the kind that occurred during our Fleshgod Apocalypse interview. John shared some highlights from 2011 as well.
