The Big One: Saosin Interview Questions

[Steve Henderson]

Okay everyone - this is big. Beau from Saosin (http://myspace.com/saosin) said they are going to do an "uncensored" interview with Absolutepunk (me) next Sunday when they swing through Cincinnati. Leave questions (within reason!) in the replies. Let's make these good people.

[LostSymphonies]

how do they feel their new album stands up to TTN?

how has Capitol records been treating them?

Any headlining tours in the making? and who would come along?

good questions...

also, do you feel the pressure of having to follow the previous effort...also, having to live up to one of the more beloved frontman in Anthony Green?

how do they feel about a kid calling himself "saosin(hisname)" on the ap boards. huh?

[ben pequeno]

do you guys do coke?

[Steve Henderson]

do you guys do coke?Um, no.

[NUFAuserName]

Explain the Japanese Flag story. I hear its a good one

[gstallion10]

wats their favorite song on the new cd

[StapleTheEyes21]

whats it like to be rockstars you guys

[ben pequeno]

Um, no. have you guys ever experimented with any drugs?

[DeadCityScars]

How do you feel about the endless (and pointless) banter back and forth on the interweb about who is better Anthony vs. Cove?

What's the story behind the Saosin rap song "Show Me Yo Bootyhole"?

[phaedrus]

honest question here, and ill understand if its rejected, but do they feel like theyre overhyped too?

[YellowNovember]

If you could be any animal which one would you be? and why?

[Steve Henderson]

honest question here, and ill understand if its rejected, but do they feel like theyre overhyped too?Yeah I think I'll ask if they feel they can live up to the hype...

[NJUNDERDOG]

have you guys ever experimented with any drugs?
are you serious??? how thick headed are you

[borntolose00]

Though it was also great, The self-titled EP recieved some flak for not being as tight musically or as explosive as Translating The Name. Can we expect to hear a return to that explosiveness on the full-legnth? Or has the band moved in other musical directions that you would like to elaborate on?

[ben pequeno]

are you serious??? how thick headed are you haha, well. it said "uncensored" so why not?

[borntolose00]

Can we expect to hear a return to that explosiveness on the full-legnth? Or has the band moved in other musical directions that you would like to elaborate on? Please Ask! Please Ask! Please Ask!

[YellowNovember]

When can we expect to hear the first single?

[Katie Schmitz]

How do you guys deal with the internet banter that comes your way in regards to your big Capital Records debut? Does is motivate you in anyway to "silence the haters", or do you believe in your musical abilities enough that the criticism doesn't even phase you?

[rufiocardtime]

If you could be any animal which one would you be? and why?

I hope you were joking.

[ben pequeno]

When can we expect to hear the first single? i read on their messageboard that their first single is gonna be 'voices' and on their updated pv page.

[and the volcano]

is the artwork going to follow the last two eps?

what cds have the band been listening to lately? / what influenced them on the new record?

[Katie Schmitz]

And since this is an "uncensored" interview, I expect there to be no clothes worn while this is conducted.

/lame joke

[Steve Henderson]

/lame jokeVideo interview!!!!1

[chomponthat05]

why is it that cove doesnt scream, also have you ever considered a name change due to loosing your unique style after the departure of fellow band mate ant green?

Will there ever be a reunion show/tour with circa survive?

[Steve Henderson]

[YellowNovember]

I hope you were joking.

Everyone one knows they would be a Saosnake...hardy har har. But it was a serious question

[HoboAdam]

what do you think of circa

[HoboAdam]

what do you think of circa

[meganxcaroline]

you should ask them how they feel about MTV or TRL...and if they would ever go on it...

[ilovebsb]

who gets the most ass in the band?

[Katie Schmitz]

Video interview!!!!1
damn right!

[Lithiumniv]

Beau has said that the drum tracks for TTN where written for Alex Rodriguez style of play. Specifically for when Alex joined the band. Yet the studio drummer for TTN added his own unique touch to that album that Alex hasn't quite been able to replicate yet. Does he think Alex's drumming on the new album will please long time fan's that grew to love Saosin listening to Pat's unique drumming.

[AsItFallsApart]

i'm kinda wondering why the full length is gonna have a significant amount of older/rewritten songs (ie. Bury Your Head, Sleepers/I Wanna Hear Another Fast Song, New Angel (or so I think I heard)). Are they just sentimental to you or did you just need to 'fill out' the album?

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

are you guy's buttqueers? how does it feel to be kind of cool?..but just not awesome?...do you feel you have the chance to reach awesomeness?...do you want to be known as buttqueers forever or just within the next couple years and then (like yellowcard) say you are going to expand your horizons and come out with a really mediocre/ bad record (lights and sounds 2)....or do you just want to shred until you go to heaven (awesome).

edit:i am kind of drunk. just so no one gets the idea im gay....i am.

[shtjames]

how much did anthony green have to do with the writing of the songs on translating the name

[failedXromance]

what is buttqueer? like, i get the concept, just not the term.


ask them if they feel that with getting more popular they have a commitment to thier older fans to not change to much (the nofx/rancid approach), or, if they feel like tehy are a growing band and the fans will go with them (the afi approach)

[AsItFallsApart]

ooh i have another one:

what do you think has made you such a popular group despite the fact that you haven't actually released a full length yet and/or do you feel with the rise of myspace/purevolume + itunes that entire albums are no longer necessary?

[Steve Henderson]

[phaedrus]

Yeah I think I'll ask if they feel they can live up to the hype...
yeah that sounds good and professional.
thats really what i was asking, i wasnt trying to be a hater.

[meekers]

fuck you, dont fucking delete my post, what is this a fucking dictatorship

[ben pequeno]

fuck you, dont fucking delete my post, what is this a fucking dictatorship hahah

[llmp]

fuck you, dont fucking delete my post, what is this a fucking dictatorship

Yes...?

[Russ Hockenbury]

Just a comment. I think Saosin, Circa Survive, and Anthony Green are INSANELY overrated.

[fedhed7]

[Steve Henderson]

fuck you, dont fucking delete my post, what is this a fucking dictatorshipYes, deal with it.

[Steve Henderson]

Just a comment. I think Saosin, Circa Survive, and Anthony Green are INSANELY overrated.Psssst...he's not in the band anymore.

[xPaulWallx]

haha, well. it said "uncensored" so why not?

i feel ya man. its like when those tv shows on cable say they are uncensored, like the mtv spring break ones, but yet they are really censored and full of bleeps and blurs all over. i guess this isnt really "uncensored" if we cant ask if they snort the yay. im interested in knowing that one also!

[wangzackphil]

if your girlfriend's mom who was very hot said to you she wants to have sex with you would you do it?

[ben pequeno]

i feel ya man. its like when those tv shows on cable say they are uncensored, like the mtv spring break ones, but yet they are really censored and full of bleeps and blurs all over. i guess this isnt really "uncensored" if we cant ask if they snort the yay. im interested in knowing that one also! haha, yayo... is porch monkey in clerks or clerks II?

Hence why I said WITHIN REASON on the questions. Sheesh, grow up people.

[xPaulWallx]

fuck you, dont fucking delete my post, what is this a fucking dictatorship

repost it, or pm me it and ill post it, maybe they will like me?

[xPaulWallx]

haha, yayo... is porch monkey in clerks or clerks II?

2 for sure, i dont think its in 1, but then again alot of things were repeated and i havent seen it in awhile.

[xPaulWallx]

Uncensored is in quotes for a reason. Hence why I said WITHIN REASON on the questions. Sheesh, grow up people.

so why even say uncensored? can i then ask, do you "snort coke"? i used quotes!

[Steve Henderson]

so why even say uncensored? can i then ask, do you "snort coke"? i used quotes!The deleted post wasnt about drugs. It was a bullshit lie about the band.

[Steve Henderson]

Well, Cove just emailed me and said they'd answer just about anything...so maybe you'll get your wish.

[Venona]

ask them why everyone on their official message boards are elitest snobs
seriously ask them that

[NationalProduct]

Top 5 albums?

Top 3 chicks in rock?

#1 goal for this album?

Love ur weener dudes, xoxo

[phongables]

Have you guys"Fingerblasted" any underage girls while on tour?

[Venona]

Have any of u guys "Fingerblasted" any underage girls while on tour?
you're a moron

[YellowNovember]

Have you guys"Fingerblasted" any underage girls while on tour?

that is one of my favorite words

[gonz]

How are they responding to people saying they've "lost their edge" that they had on TTN?

How many new songs will you be playing on your tour with FD?

How do you guys pronounce your own name? I know that AG says its say-ocean but it seems that the present-day Saosin just pronounces it phonetically.

[Steve Henderson]

Have you guys"Fingerblasted" any underage girls while on tour?You're a fucking asshole.

[ben pequeno]

haha you can ask them if they do coke courtesy of me.

[jahh]

good one

[Steve Henderson]

haha you can ask them if they do coke courtesy of me.Fine....now just fucking shut up about it. Damn, you are annoying.

[ben pequeno]

Fine....now just fucking shut up about it. Damn, you are annoying. love you stevie =)

[Steve Henderson]

love you stevie =)Ugh, I am sure you do.

[beauty is dead]

hows it feel to know without anthony you guys will never write another good cd?

[Steve Henderson]

hows it feel to know without anthony you guys will never write another good cd?Ignorant much? Have you heard the new album?

[newdesign]

What changes has your band has endured since Anthony's Departure/Cove's assignment as singer, both musically/experimentally, and as friends?

How many songs do you plan on "redoing" with Cove on Vocals?

What would you consider the most insanely/ridiculously fun and insane tour be?

Are you doing any more covers along the way (the Pinkback cover of Penelope is brilliant).

When you guys go to record an album, what happens? Do you do it all at once or do you try and create more of a story out of it?

After finishing your first full length, what is more important in creating an album, creating songs to make the album "work," or creating as many songs as you can and selecting the ones you love?

What are the top five albums of 2006 thusfar?

If you were to be an interesting character from a brilliant film, who would it be?

Who makes a cooler character in a movie, Jared Leto or Jude Law?

[WestAndWales]

When it comes to writing music/songs...

Does it center around Justin and Beau writing guitar riffs and building from there? Or is the band musically adept outside of their primary instruments and for example, Alex will write a guitar riff and Beau will write vocal arrangement/bass line, etc....

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

buttqueer = stoned banter between me and my friends like 3 months ago,. feel free to spread the term. it means nothing. its just a stupid stoned comment. i'd compare it asshat.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

Psssst...he's not in the band anymore.

psst...you're hitler apparently. dictator.

[falloutfan29]

buttqueer is similar to a term me and my friends use: assfag so yeh im stoned too

[ultragabe]

can you produce the drum tracks for my band and make them sound like they did on Translating the Name?

[blahme]

What's up with the lyric changes when you play live?

What do you think of Paris Hilton as a singer?
-Would you hit that?

[Rxbandit22]

Why did they make the song "Rap Party"?
It makes them look like a bunch of fucking racists to be honest.

[rufiocardtime]

from the sounds of it...this is going to be the shittiest interview i'll never read.

[lovewithcaution]

Honestly, do you really like Cove's voice?

[FailedSenses]

Why did they make the song "Rap Party"?
It makes them look like a bunch of fucking racists to be honest.

The rap songs were a joke. Not everyone in Saosin was involved in the recording of them either, even though they're all tagged as Saosin. They were recorded awhile ago too and they've actually tried to leave them in the past.

[phongables]

you're a moron


yo brahhhh....ur like 16 and ur fat.....get lost

[Bad Karma]

what's your favorite planet? mine's the sun.

[murphy77]

can someone send me the rap party saosin song?

and to saosin question....

whos the coolest band on warped tour?

[IHopeYourAlone]

what's your favorite planet? mine's the sun.

if you were a hotdog would you eat yourself?

[Troy will Fall]

after anthony green left Saosin, i remember that is right around the time Anatomy of a Ghost disbanded as well. I'm curious if they ever considered AOAG frontman Dewey Halpaus for their vocals position? If not, were their any other notable singers considered before Cove was chosen?

[beauty is dead]

Ignorant much? Have you heard the new album?

no, but ive heard their new ep and the 2 new myspace songs.

[kennethagee]

you're a moron

i don't see why people keep lashing out at everyone for asking stuff like that, I mean if all these bad rumors are untrue then maybe they could let everyone know, otherwise they should live up to what they do, i love this band, not as much as i did, but while interviews should focus on the music, the best ones are always personal

[plain white t's]

were they excited to learn that they would be going internationally on the taste of choas tour, what are there expectations

[TBS70x7]

How are guys with Anthony? Are you guys friends, don't talk to each other?

Will We ever see a Circa Survive/Saosin tour. That would make people go crazy.

What's your guys' favorite song to play live?

[haltmein]

www.myspace.com/maverick (http://www.myspace.com/maverick) ?

[NicoleC]

[xPaulWallx]

[RXBandit34]

why didn't beau produce the new album?

[motionoftheshar]

after anthony green left Saosin, i remember that is right around the time Anatomy of a Ghost disbanded as well. I'm curious if they ever considered AOAG frontman Dewey Halpaus for their vocals position? If not, were their any other notable singers considered before Cove was chosen?

dewey wasn't the frontman....john gourley was.

[Atticusholden]

With a slew of new songs to play live in your future tours, will you permanently be retiring any songs from Translating the Name that perhaps don't fit this Cove-fronted band as well as they suited you when Anthony was singing? Or do you feel you have "grown out" of any of your old songs since they were originally recorded years ago?

I ask this in light of other bands' ceasing to play their popular songs due to certain events. Examples: John leaves TBS, they stop playing "There's No 'I' In Team." Finch stops playing "Letters To You" and "Stay With Me" when they decide to become more progressive.

[NickMesa]

EVERYONE that I have discussed with the departure of Anthony Green and Cove entering the band as his replacement agrees with me that Cove really can't hold a a candle to Green from vocal style and technique to range. I understand not ALL people hold this as their opinion, but I am being completely honest. Obviously the other members of Saosin are happy with their choice for Green's replacement otherwise they wouldn't have picked Cove, but do any of them ever second guess themselves and maybe wish they would have taken a little more time trying out singers? Was Cove by far the best out of everyone they tried out? Did they under estimate how hard it would be to find someone that could live up to Green's level of talent?

[Maniac Moses]

are you serious??? how thick headed are you

What a senseless response. Why do people on this board feel the need to be so negative towards each other? Is it because they have no fear of real life retrobution since everyone lives all over the country? Uncool dude.

[TheBaroness]

Where do you see your sound heading/progressing in the future?

What have you been listening to recently that's influenced your writing?

Do you feel any pressure to set yourselves apart (artistically speaking) from the myriad of other, similar bands in the "scene"? If yes, in what way? If no, is this just the usual "we do what we want, how we want and don't pay attention to anyone else" spin?

You were signed to Capitol during what could be described as a "boom" period for "scene" bands. From your experiences in the industry/on a major label, where do you see the "scene" heading in the near future?

What's the pressure like to perform on a major label? Are you aiming specifically for big first-up numbers with your debut album, or is the label content to allow you some time to grow?

What do you think will happen to the "scene" and bands like yours if/when said "scene" collapses and disappears from the mainstream?

How long do you think it will be before that happens?

[Maniac Moses]

Just a comment. I think Saosin, Circa Survive, and Anthony Green are INSANELY overrated.

Yet another unneeded comment. I can't think of one productive thing about that comment.

[concernedparent]

Do you guys admit having homosexual orgies, or is that just implied?

[iamjohndeath]

What is the real reason Zach(old bassist) isn't in the band anymore?

[Steve Henderson]

after anthony green left Saosin, i remember that is right around the time Anatomy of a Ghost disbanded as well. I'm curious if they ever considered AOAG frontman Dewey Halpaus for their vocals position? If not, were their any other notable singers considered before Cove was chosen?Good one...I will ask this.

[Steve Henderson]

dewey wasn't the frontman....john gourley was.Ah, this is true, I think...he's now the Portugal the Man singer.

[ben pequeno]

why are you up stevie?

[NicoleC]

What is the real reason Zach(old bassist) isn't in the band anymore?

i think one of the dudes in the band slept with his gf or something

[emerica171]

Just a comment. I think Saosin, Circa Survive, and Anthony Green are INSANELY overrated.
I think "It's always sunny" is insanely overrated(Dog Bites Man>Sunny)

[FloridaSnoPatro]

what's your favorite planet? mine's the sun.

fyi, the sun is a star, not a planet

[allelish]

will they be playing any UK shows outside the taste of chaos tour?

[futurcorerock]

fyi, the sun is a star, not a planet

Haha, wow

[Steve Henderson]

why are you up stevie?I have a real job :(

[Steve Henderson]

I think "It's always sunny" is insanely overrated(Dog Bites Man>Sunny)This is VERY true...thank you! Could not agree more.

[Rith]

Ask him to tell the Amsterdam, Hooker, Manager story. It was a good laugh.

[staticandclarity]

fyi, the sun is a star, not a planet

fyi...will ferrell...SNL...him being harry carey



douuuche

[awwdree]

are you guys excited to finally get to tour australia on the taste of chaos international leg? and what kind of response do you think the kids will give to saosin?

[baton]

are they still friends with anthony? would it be possible to saosin tour with circa?
and do they have some plans to get some guest vocals on some songs in future? (i'm not talking about anthony of course cause i think that this would never happen) :-)

[baton]

if ant came out and sang during a Saosin song people would go apeshit

i'd like to see him come out and sing Seven Years or something

it would kick major ass

on TTN there are many moments made with like 2 or 3 vocal lines so they could make a duet :-)

[The Matt Kaufman]

Do they think they are only hyped so much because of ap.net and would anyone care about them if it wasnt for this website?

[Steve Henderson]

Do they think they are only hyped so much because of ap.net and would anyone care about them if it wasnt for this website?
Well, they have over 100K myspace friends without ever having released a fell-length, so I doubt it is JUST because of this site. I think they have just been a resounding word-of-mouth success.

[The Matt Kaufman]

Well, they have over 100K myspace friends without ever having released a fell-length, so I doubt it is JUST because of this site. I think they have just been a resounding word-of-mouth success.

Right..I think this site contributed to it (probably a lot of overlap between people here and friends on them on myspace) and the random bands who try to be them but really suck etc etc...but if you can ask that type of general question thatd be sweet.

[Steve Henderson]

Yeah, I too am curious where they think a lot of their buzz comes from...it is a good question. There will be many questions related to the "hype machine." :)

[rus_t]

if ant came out and sang during a Saosin song people would go apeshit

i'd like to see him come out and sing Seven Years or something

it would kick major ass

I would seriously give me life to see that. You have no idea.

For questions though... be sure to clear up the air on who drums on which albums & live because I'm confused now... Ask why there has been so many lineup changes, noting that the most intriguing parts (drums and vocals) on Translating The Name era Saosin are now replaced.
Also ask why Cove doesn't scream. Is he afraid of hurting his voice, or can he just not do it, or did the band make a conscious decision to not have any screaming after Anthony. I wouldn't normally care but the screams just seemed like such an important part of older Saosin.

[westsidas2000]

psst...you're hitler apparently. dictator.

haha awesome, second person to call him a dictator. reminds me of little kids picking on the strict gym teacher hahaha so great.

[The Matt Kaufman]

What do you do?
Being Im going to be a senior in college I got this job where Im like a "Pre Intern" essentially a student doing "real work" at an Army Base in NJ..the pre intern leads into the Intern program which leads me into having a full position...but being that I am a student people have to show me things and Ive mostly been working on organizing lists for these two trainings which is good considering I like computers...but Im suppose to be learning what the managerial accounting department does here (take care of credit cards for army soldiers etc) but Ive been more posting on Ap.net or surfing the internet haha..all for $13.27

Its almost lunch time and Im hungry and I rant when Im hungry..

[youareallfreaks]

how do they feel about a kid calling himself "saosin(hisname)" on the ap boards. huh?

oh wow, i always pronounced this saosinism, like buddism, like saosin was some kind of religion for you.

[westsidas2000]

hahahaha omgz lolz s0 funnnnnnyyyyy roflz0rz1!!!

umm....it wasn't meant to make fun of you, just an amusing situation that came out of two coincidential posts.

[Steve Henderson]

umm....it wasn't meant to make fun of you, just an amusing situation that came out of two coincidential posts.Ok, you are forgiven then. For now. :)

[astaticskyline]

You guys held a contest where bands were able to get voted to open up for you guys. Is there any plans to do anything else like this in the future, and would you take any of the winning bands out on tour?

[calciumwaste]

how do you react to the amount of psycho-obsessed fans that you have on the SaoBoards and Saoteam? how does it feel knowing that your band is somebody's life? do these people increase the pressure that you feel to deliver, or is it comforting to know that there are people who support you no matter what?

[chokeychicken]

i just want to know why they didnt write the snakes on a plane theme song.

[colorlesscliche]

Scarlett Johansson or Angelia Jolie?

really...did you go to silver bay intermediate east or high school north?

[starcrossdlovex]

I don't wanna read 10 pages to see if this has been asked already, but whenever we can submit questions, I always like to know what their craziest/most entertaining fan encounter was. Oh, and any cool stories from the road too.

[ccsmanx]

when asked to play "i can tell" at several warped stops this year, cove seemed to have some animosity towards the song. any explanation for that?

was it theirs or capitols decision to rerelease "bury your head" on the LP after so many versions of the song had already been released?

[ccsmanx]

also, i forgot about this one

i've heard a rumor for years that saosin's original bass player, or one of the early ones, left to play bass for ashlee simpson. is this true?

[mikeisforlovers]

Have you ever heard the cover of seven years by from first to last? What do you think of it?
(If you want to play it for them so they can hear it, I can send it to you)

[Beloved Broken]

Why did you include "Bury Your Head" in the LP? Is it at least changed in some manner?
Do you consider the new material more technical than the older stuff (NOT only in terms of drumming)?
Has Anthony Green given opinion of Saosin as it is now? Do you hear from him at all?
Will there be any bonus tracks (for a UK edition, iTunes, whatever)?
Is there a basic process in your songwriting or it depends on random ideas?

[love_american_style]

this probably wont be awnsered but ask how their guitarist swings the guitar around his body like that....i've seen it done a million times but have never got it pulled off correctly...i've always wanted to learn how to do it.

[love_american_style]

What a senseless response. Why do people on this board feel the need to be so negative towards each other? Is it because they have no fear of real life retrobution since everyone lives all over the country? Uncool dude.

fuck you .....fucking ******....i'll kick your ass...douche bag.

i'm joking of course....i totaly agree with you.

[calciumwaste]

also, i forgot about this one

i've heard a rumor for years that saosin's original bass player, or one of the early ones, left to play bass for ashlee simpson. is this true?

yes. i don't know if he left in order to play for her, or if he left and then got that job, but he definately did. he doesn't any more though.

[FloridaSnoPatro]

So this isnt really a question that you have to ask them because im thinking someone might be able to tell me. Does anyone know when the new CD will go on pre-sale? and if there are any sites that are doing this already, which ones?

[danny of the gs]

Ask if they're tired of douchebags bringing up Circa/Anthony Green.


Seriously, am I the only one that thinks Cove can pull it off just as well, if not better, than Anthony?

[ccsmanx]

yes. i don't know if he left in order to play for her, or if he left and then got that job, but he definately did. he doesn't any more though.

thanks a lot....thats so hilarious to me

[tedE]

thanks a lot....thats so hilarious to me

I remember finding his Myspace once to see if it was true. He played with Alex Rodriquez and Beau Burchell in Open Hand, but left due to "Trust Issues." He then stated he left Saosin for the same reason, "Trust Issues." I'm sure he left Ashlee Simpson for the same reason. Obviously, the only issue seems to be him.

[QTheDangerMusic]

ask them this...just like this

"seriously, SERIOUSLY....does cove have ANY say in the band?" and then whisper *he's a robot isnt he?*

[bobbob]

* So how do you guys say Saosin? 'cause there's been edit wars on the Wikipedia page, and I'd like it settled for good 'cause people don't believe Green's comments it's supposed to be "say-ocean".
* Do you think the hype generated from TtN has actually hindered you? Do you think the band has suffered from a backlash for not releasing the album earlier?
* How influential was the internet and MySpace in your band's popularity? Was it one of Capitol's major reasons for signing the band?
* Who would you like to tour with, and what bands influence you the most?
* Why the fuck don't you come to England more often?
* How do you feel about the "emo" thing, and do you think you fit into that genre and what do you feel about its longevity?
* Linux, Mac or XP? What do you think about the patents clause in the new draft for GPLv3?
* Ever considered covering any Circa Survive songs, for shits and giggles?
* Weezer - Make Believe: Genius or utter shite?
* What's that smell?

[unholy_amanda]

What has been the worst city you've ever played and why?
Least favorite band to tour with and why?
What object do each of you wish you had on the tour bus but for some reason never got around to buying?
Is the new record going to include lyrics if it follows the same format of the last two EPs?
Once you have a bigger catalog to play, are you still going to play songs off of TTN?
What is your favorite food to eat on the road?

[ThursRosesrRed]

Is the whole thing about going mainstream really that hard on you guys and is it really what you wanted it to be?

Do you think you'll get any bigger than this?

How do you guys deal with all the things being said about you guys?Does the bad really get on your nerves?

Who do you think was better as a singer,Anthony or Cove?Do you want any of your old members back?

[Macks]

How does Saosin influence Take the Crown?

[Dan CiTi]

how do you react to the amount of psycho-obsessed fans that you have on the SaoBoards and Saoteam? how does it feel knowing that your band is somebody's life? do these people increase the pressure that you feel to deliver, or is it comforting to know that there are people who support you no matter what? SaoThis SaoThat Saoeverything!

oh wow, i always pronounced this saosinism, like buddism, like saosin was some kind of religion for you. It's fun to say Saosinist.

[boojan]

Do they have any plans to play the Southeast U.S. anytime soon? Like Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas? I noticed that avoided that area on Warped and they're avoiding it again on Taste of Chaos.

[piperrrrr]

suppp what songs do you plan on playing down under for toc??

piper xx

[RemyBlueEyes]

out of the group, who's single, taken or pimpin' 4 life. question for those who are single, how do you respond to the trillions of grls on your nuts; for those who are taken, what's it like balancing b/t relationship, recording and touring.

these i gotta know. i keep having dreams about justin </3 :rolleyes:

[jon.fftl]

Don't know if anyone asked this because i don't really feel like reading through 11 pages of questions:

Any chance that B2C (Show Me Your Bootyhole, Rap Party, etc.) will be recording anymore songs?

[jon.fftl]

Do you want any of your old members back?

I didn't think it was possible, but that question actually made me dumber.

[UnderoathAaron]

my questions are:

1) why did they feel they had to replace the singer with one that sounds the same?
2) why do you choose the party over friends and band members? and do you support what the former members are doing now?

[ablindmirage]

*If you were trapped on a deserted island and you ran out of supplies, which band member with you eat first and why?

*Since Translating The Name, the band has gotten bigger and bigger without releasing a up to par CD [they self-admitted that the Saosin EP was only suppose to be a demo]. How much faith does the band have in their own music on the new LP that the fans will enjoy it as much as TTN?

*When was the pivotal moment in their career that made them think that they've "made it."

*What is the most amazing part of being in a band?

*Beau, out of all the bands that you've recorded with/for and that you've been a producer for, which band [other than Saosin] do you feel has the best potential and is the most competant/best overall?

*There are alot of Saosin covers floating around the internet, are there any that stand out in your minds?

*Saosin is opening for AFI and Tiger Army for a few shows. How does the band feel about the two bands?

[Steve Henderson]

Okay guys...interview is typed up and will be posted tomorrow. It is about 14 pages in MS Word, so should be a good amount of stuff to digest. See you guys tomorrow :)
