Tommy Clufetos has weighed in on what he thinks the music world is going to look like post-pandemic.
The drummer, who has cut his teeth playing with Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper and more, recently appeared on Ted Nugent’s Spirit Campfire. Clufetos reckons that after all this coronavirus malarkey is done and dusted, rock is going to go through a golden era.
“After all this time off, I’m gonna blow up, man,” he revealed. “But during all this chaos, I’m trying to take it as, ‘Okay, this is your breather, man. Take your breather, and just be ready.’ ‘Cause it’s happening for a reason. But rock and roll is gonna explode after this. People are gonna go nuts.
“People are saying, ‘Well, I don’t know if people are gonna go to concerts again.’ And I’m going, ‘Are you crazy?’ People don’t care,” he continued “They’re gonna go, ‘Virus smirus.’ When they’re allowed, people are gonna come out in droves. They’re gonna let loose like the end of the war, man. They’re gonna go nuts, and we’re gonna be right there rocking for ’em.”
