MUDVAYNE Singer Talks About 'Forget To Remember' Video

November 4, 2005

MUDVAYNE frontman Chad Gray recently spoke to MTV.com about the video shoot for the group's new single, "Forget to Remember", the next offering from their album "Lost and Found" and the lead-off single from the "Saw II" soundtrack.

"We're used to working with video directors — guys who're used to working with bands," Gray explained. "Here I am, working with a guy ['Saw II' writer/director Darren Bousman] who directs real actors in pulling out all of their acting skills. I was a little intimidated. 'Oh my God, this guy doesn't actually expect me to act, does he?' I was freaked at first, but once we were there, I wasn't nervous at all. And I made my acting dee-butt."

At the moment, MUDVAYNE are resting up before the November 18 kickoff of their Masters of Horror Tour, to which they recently added 15 more stops, including the tour's final destination, Oklahoma City on December 20. Gray said MUDVAYNE have no plans to start writing anytime soon — not even while they're on the road.

"When we write, we like to just go away — just the four of us," he said. "We want to remove ourselves from everything — even family — and write music and get into that headspace of what that is. It keeps that level of honesty up, to where you're really speaking from what you're feeling right there at that moment."

Gray did say MUDVAYNE's lineup remains unbroken, despite recent rumors of guitarist Greg Tribbett's departure ("Why is it never me being the one who's leaving?" the singer joked),and that the band's been thinking about compiling a DVD.

"But I want to do something different, something creative, something unique," he said. "I am tired of the same old thing with these DVDs. But we're talking about it, for sure."
