Hawthorne Heights Interview Questionnaire

[Rohan Kohli]

As a follow-up to the interview I conducted with Hawthorne Heights (http://www.absolutepunk.net/hawthorneheights) back in November (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=96970), I will be interviewing them again in a couple weeks. Please leave any questions you'd like for me to ask the band in the replies - oh yeah, and JT said he's willing to answer any question. Be respectful though.

[boldt_action]

hmm, im surprised more people aren't all over this.

[Rohan Kohli]

it took me awhile to come up with anything that would seem "respectful." i'm sure alot of other people are having the same problem.

You can ask pretty much whatever you want, just don't ask something like "Can you please go kill yourself?"

[preppyak]

Ask them who won the Dodgeball game between them and Dropping Daylight

[yutsmcgee]

What did they think about Tony writing that "battlecry" as them? Were they upset about that whole controversy?

[Angsty]

what's the hardest song for you to play?

from Greg

[ATDIdakota]

ask what's next for his label and if any new bands are in the works to getting signed or such.

[silencekid89]

what was your inspiration/motivation in writing the, basically, cliche lyrics of "so cut my wrists and black my eyes?"

[Rohan Kohli]

That was answered in the November interview

[Flags of Dawn]

how do they feel about the video for "Saying Sorry", cause it came off as extremely cheesy to me.

[Mitch]

Do you like the other bands of your genre? Such as Senses Fail?

[Drew Beringer]

What did they think about Tony writing that "battlecry" as them? Were they upset about that whole controversy?

That's a good question.


Ask him if he owns the Ne-Yo cd.

[IAmAmazing]

can he have sex with me?
man on man, woot woot!!

JK, ask him if its possible if they can get any bigger
or what direction is the band going in?

[aloneatlastnj]

where the fuck is that interview that jared did with pete wentz?? he was hyping it like crazy like it was some big thing, and nothing ever came of it.

[ben pequeno]

have they seen the pete wentz sidekick pictures

[Shatter_Glass]

-Do you feel that most of your bands songs don't stray too far away from "The tracks"?

- Mark or Tom?

- Who do you feel is the most talented band in the history of the Victory Label, (including TBS and Thursday)

- Do you see a certain pattern of the bands that are on Victory's roster?

[Drew Beringer]

Tell them that Drew Beringer demands that "Where Can I Stab Myself In The Ears" to be the third single.

Also ask why the first single was changed from "This Is Who We Are" (as they mentioned in the first interview that it would be the first single) to "Saying Sorry"?

[ARo2431]

Ask him if he owns the Ne-Yo cd.

haha thats good. Ask them how the fall out boy tours going. Does it seem like their gaining alot more fans or they dont really notice a difference?

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

i am trying to sound as respectful as possible...as them why they continued the writing of such god awful music on the latest release without changing anything?

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

i wanna know the same thing.......

[Greg]

was it weird to sing "cut my wrist and black my eyes" on the TAKE ACTION tour last year?

[Rohan Kohli]

Answered in the November interview

[Drew Beringer]

Also ask him how the band dealt/felt about their new album leaking a few months before street date.

[jake_rm]

Ask why everytime the guitarist (or whoever) screams, the sound of a dying duck is heard instead?

[xTJx]

Ask if they plan on taking time to write their 3rd album instead of rushing it like the past two

[SummerxStars]

where the fuck is that interview that jared did with pete wentz?? he was hyping it like crazy like it was some big thing, and nothing ever came of it.

i was just wondering the same thing.

[biffyboy]

Ask why everytime the guitarist (or whoever) screams, the sound of a dying duck is heard instead?


haha so true. Why do you need someone to scream when he 'screams' with no emotion and therefore is completely pointless within the song (especially as it sounds really bad when he opens his mouth just like when pete wentz does)

[KidDisaster2113]

Ask them if they will come to the FYE in the Galleria Mall in Cheektowaga, NY and buy the 150 cds sitting in the fifth shelves so we can put something good up there. They take up so much fucking space I can't put the fucking Moneen cd where people can see it. Also, if it changes price again, I am going to light them all on fire.

lolzzz *chuckles*

[atomicgarden134]

Ask those ***gots how they sleep at night knowing the fact that they have rapped everyones ears by making 2 of the most rushed and untalented and aligned records ever produced.

Just kidding...Heres something more respectable...Why dont you guys just die already?

[whocares930]

who would win
Hawthorne Heights Vs. Ne-yo and crew

[Meggers]

- What band on JT's label is he most excited to see release an album?
- How do they feel about not being able to greet fans on the Fall Out Boy tour?
- What are their plans after the Fall Out Boy tour?

[Flags of Dawn]

oh shut up.

[InaGreendase]

how do you feel about losing the fight to save ROCK?

Fixed.

[AFSjulian]

Ask JT if he'll sign my band (www.purevolume.com/anotherfoundself (http://www.purevolume.com/anotherfoundself)) because we're from Ohio and are opening for Say Anything. I think that's enough haha.

Seriously though... ask them if they're worried about people twisting their comments in the latest Alternative Press into them being in this for the wrong reasons. I had a few friends who read the article and weren't into them talking about all their future endeavors like they're just riding the screamo trend and will bail on HH as soon as the albums stop selling.

[xvalorous]

hahaha very respectable.

[xvalorous]

i heard jt doesnt even have his guitar plugged in when they play live. is that true? if so, why?
and, why are you so popular, but you cant seem to write good music?

[FASSWcore]

don't ask, tell him not to sign the kid from above's band. k thnx.

[plain white t's]

wats ur 5 fav bands in the "Scene" right now

[Snails]

Haha.

[American.Death]

Ask him if after the FOB tour can we expect a world tour in support of the new record.

[AWilhelmPetter]

Why the crappy album titles?

[iHATEapril]

Ask him which band he equates his band to, as far as the "early 90's screamo bands," I recall him referencing. Does he see the band becoming heavier(and therefore making me want to cut off my ears even more with each coming single)?

[buysoap]

ask them what everyone really wants to know: if there are so many people that continuously bash them and hate them and tell them they suck and want to die, why is it they keep going? is there really enough of a fan base that they feel warrented in continuing on? i remember when the first CD came out, the silence in black and white i mean, and a bunch of kids i know bought it, we listened to it, they felt embarassed and sold it back. i dont know anyone that bought the new CD as much as there were claims that it was a "new hawthorne heights" except one kid, and he is literally mentally disabled.

[American.Death]

Ask him why Matt (Ridenhour, the bass player who does all the backing vocals) doesnt do any of the backing stuff live from the back stuff he did on the new record.
