Most musicians in the world toil in obscurity - hoping that anyone at all will find and resonate with their music.
For those select few who do achieve some level of success via their music, they quickly become part of a machine focused on touring, album cycles, support acts, and management companies. So, for the established artist, they long to be creative without restrictions and baggage from expectations from their fans and the music business that sustains them.
I discuss this dichotomy with Mike Hranica, the lead vocalist ("screamer" lol) from The Devil Wears Prada (a band with a lot of fans, and thus a lot of expectations) and God Alone (a band that purposefully defies expectations). We also discuss how he views discipline - or lack thereof - in his creative process, and how he scratches various creative itches through different outlets.
