Terminal Interview

[Caleb Cattivera]

I'll be interviewing Terminal (http://www.purevolume.com/terminal) soon. Post your questions in the replies.

[siimpx]

are the guys playing this tour just filling in or are they permanent new members? because he only has one other guy listed on his myspace.

and this isn't to them...but have any of you seen them lately? i saw them the other night & have never been more dissapointed in a live show, especially since their cd is one of my favorites of the year. the guy was falling around stage, didn't sing half the words. the whole thing was a mess. are they always like that? if they are i don't have a clue how they have a deal.

[tinymosh]

i'm seeing them tomorrow. pretty psycheddd.

[Rohan Kohli]

i'm seeing them tomorrow. pretty psycheddd.

Like siimpx said, they were kinda bad when I saw them. No energy at all. Seemed like they'd rather not be there. I love the CD though.

[halifaxsb86]

ask what made rian decide to leave kids in the way

that's pretty tragic. at least hit the lights & cartel are playing. :D

[sean omerta]

exactly how much do you love Sean Omerta?


seriously though: how do you feel about your dealings with promoter Mike Ziemer?

maybe he was drunk. pretty lame.

[ben pequeno]

the link is broken, might wanna fix it.

Under their original lineup, they were an amazing live band. Travis didn't have to play guitar. BUT, with the new lineup, he has to play guitar and sing, which I believe may be overwhelming to do both.

My question is:
Travis, you recently did some local Buzz-Oven shows. Was it nice to see that fans still supported you even though so much has changed recently?

[Punkdc]

What made you guys think about that whole find where you live thing. Its a great, just thinkin'.

[FuryCore]

yeah, i definitely think that terminal's record is one of the best of the year and that it is one of the most underrated.

[USAFDave]

is there still a friendly relationship with Oceans Firing? Is OF's old drummer Justin Leu now playing with Terminal?

[IcedOpethBlind]

ask if there's a guy named chris in the band...or something...

because my cousin is currently on tour with them (chris), and im not sure if he's plaiyng in the band on the current tour or just going with them to be a roadie or whatever...

actually, if anyone can let me know, that'd be cool, if you've seen them on this tour....

he has red hair, wears glasses usually, and is pretty tall...

[rellish91]

exactly how much do you love Sean Omerta?

hahahah i was going to ask the same thing...about travis loving me..haha....

do you like mike ziemer?

[updownleftright]

i guess its been asked already but.. try to word it a nicer way. have the new members made their live show not as great as it could of have before. I think thats worded right..

when i saw terminal in Plano a few weeks ago he was play guitar, he stood like a rock. But none the less, Travis is my hero. When ever he didnt have to play guitar, o dear, it was nothing but amazing. Things are really diffirent now when it comes to the New terminal. I saw terminals last show together and the first show with the new band. it was odd because all the old members where there.

[emokid1424]

i went to the show in columbia, sc with cartel and the working title. they were definetly not the same band that they were when i saw them with saosin at the same venue. the new terminal is nothing compared to the old terminal. if this is travis's "transition to become something beautiful", it is not working at all. they gotta do something different. travis needs to get off guitar and just sing. they need to loose the new guitar player and drummer. travis and ryan are good together, but the rest of the guys need to go. i was nothing but dissapointed at their performance. cartel was amazing though, they're going to be huge.

[no mames]

hahahah i was going to ask the same thing...about travis loving me..haha....

do you like mike ziemer?


im glad im not the only one who wanted to ask that question. zeimer gives me bad vybe. im sick of promoters who think they are what kids are going out to see. he has good turnouts and pwns his market with ruthless promotion though and thats whats important to a lot of bands.

Yeah, they didn't blow me away when they came to Philly either. I agree that it's probably because Travis has to be playing guitar too. I was hoping they'd play "Just a failure", but they didn't =[

Thank God for Cartel though. amazing.


I would also want you to ask if Travis is feeling comfortable with the new lineup yet or if he's having a hard time adjusting

[suburbn_thrills]

i'm seeing them tomorrow. pretty psycheddd.
I'm going tomorrow too :)
I'm hoping the snow doesn't effect anything.

[happyemoily]

ask travis who/what he thinks about when he listens to nada surf.

[Texas ls On]

yeah dude umm www.purevolume.com/lettertwelve (http://www.purevolume.com/lettertwelve)
when they were local there energy was amazing
they were probably one of the best bands in the scene then
they were screamo then and travis writing wasnt as good as it is now
but they have hookups with everyone from underoath to unearth
i have a song where trevor phipps from unearth did a song with them
called moonlights and magnolias
yeah dude but old terminal/lettertwelve shows were amazing
i remember them like they were yesterday
theyve been around for 7 years

[sean omerta]

do you like mike ziemer?

A year later i get reply notification. Weird.

My answer is no. Michael Henry is a very good guy, though.

[enossel]

Wait. When did Terminal rise from the grave?
