Tom DeLonge recently gave a whole interview just dedicated to Macbeth regarding artist collaborations, working on the company, and more. Read the full piece here and a snippet below after the jump.

What’s the most rewarding part of Macbeth? What’s been the most difficult part?
I have a company where I can work with my friends and creative people who inspire me; that has always been the best part. We are putting shoes on your feet. That’s pretty incredible. I mean, I hardly know how to play guitar; who would’ve thought I’d have a shoe company, or that someone would trust me to run one?

It has its difficulties for sure, just like anything else. The most difficult part is probably whoever has to do all the timelines and spreadsheets. I hate that stuff.

How do you split your time between music and Macbeth? 
Both are a part of my everyday life. It just ebbs and flows depending on what the band’s working on. My recording studio and the Macbeth creative design space are in the same building, so it’s easy for me to work on both productively. It’s the perfect set up.

Any nonprofits you’re currently working with or supporting?
Right now, a portion of the Maine’s Studio Project sales go to Music Saved My Life through the Hope For The Day foundation. It’s a cause close to our hearts and something that is super-important to the band so that is rad. We still work with PETA and will have a new project coming out with them very soon. We’re also working on supporting one of our artists who had a family member that was recently diagnosed with cancer. Nonprofits have always been a big part of my life, and it’s cool to be able to use Macbeth as a vehicle to bring awareness to great causes.
