Underoath Interview Questions

[Brandon Herbel]

In celebration of the Police tribute album, I will be interviewing Underoath (http://www.underoath777.com). Post any questions you have for them in the replies.

[Everiggs]

Are you guys working on songs for your next album, and if so, how are they different or similar to "They're Only Chasing Safety"?

[MGTrolling]

Just wanted to say that I love you guys, your music is awesome.

Question: What do you guys think is the best part of your live show?

Peace.

[Romancebled]

are you guys planning on making another music video? if so, which song do you have in mind?

[reveriecowboy]

well, being a christian, and seeing them preach their religion yesterday at the relief show:

Q. how does your faith affect touring, live shows, and especially your music???

[FinchBulldog2]

How did you come up with the Choir idea (drowning in my sleep) for "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door"?

[anamericangod]

How did you come up with the Choir idea (drowning in my sleep) for "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door"?

man that part makes me shiver

[reveriecowboy]

ooo, how about:

Q. how is your relationship with tooth&nail/solidstate?

just so you have a record label question for them

plus i hear t&n has some great people running it

[dumbcorey]

Q: what bands/music are you currently listening to?

[SLADE775]

Somebody told me that I should wear my Underoath shirt to court, at a party last weekend. :headshake

[anamericangod]

will you ever develop a gimmick like the vampirism from my chemical romance or maybe matching black shirts and pink ties?

[Frank Giaramita]

A lot of people called them "the biggest sell outs of 2004"...ask them how they feel about this and if they have a response to these claims.

[albatrossxivy]

ask what target they are looking to hit with the new music they are making

[ohlookitspaul]

when are they going to introduce a violin?

[spagator]

Somebody told me that I should wear my Underoath shirt to court, at a party last weekend.

holy shit, man. do it.

[permanent]

well, being a christian, and seeing them preach their religion yesterday at the relief show:

That is an awesome question, mark me down that you should ask this.

[punkbassist]

ask em if they have any big tours coming up

[tran in japan]

What inspired you to write Some Will Seek Forgiveness......? I go to a catholic school where i played it for my religion class. My religion teacher loved it and asked if i could burn him a copy of They're Only Chasing Safety. You guys have shown me that you can listen to hardcore and still remain faithful.

[punkbassist]

ask em what bands they want to go on tour with in the near future

[abrandnewused]

Ask them how it feels to be an amazing amazing band.

[Skatetopunk]

You guys have shown me that you can listen to hardcore and still remain faithful.

YEAH me too. What words of encouragement do you guys have for the Christian hardcore kids out there? and also what are your feelings about other bands in the genre....like Fear Before....?

[joevember]

When you were thinking of what to name the band, did every name you guys picked sound stupid, and you all just finally agreed on one, or did somebody say it and everyone liked it?

[level4loser]

why did you absolutley destroy that song you covered for the policia! album?

god...can you go one song without sounding like TBS on steroids and god?

[Scott Weber]

is it possible for you to stay out of just ONE thread that involves a band you don't like? Do you think question will actually be asked? No. You just come into threads to act like a jackass, there's no other reasoning behind it. It's tired and old. Find some other way to give yourself a boner.

i second that.... stay out of the thread if you hate them so much

[SayWhtUWnt]

ask why they stopped playing both When the Sun Sleeps and Angel Below even though they used to at every show up until recently.
(i was dissapointed as hell when they didnt at thier headlining show over the weekend)

[goalyguy33]

In what season do you guys think your next cd will be released? (Winter 2005, Spring 2006 etc...)

[Caleb Cattivera]

i have already told you about my ideas brandon...but as for this band...frank i believe said alot of people are calling them the sellouts of 2004...ive changed my views on the term sell outs...but they did change ALOT since thier last album...i guess as your mature as a band you're must changes...but thier music didnt mature, it sounds about like everything else out there i've heard...so as for 'sellouts of 2004' no...disappointment of 2004...yes...but im happy for them, it's good to see a band that i used to book back in the dizzy and would have about 25 to 30 kids show up...to be where they are now. so good luck to them

hey man, i dont give you any sort of a problem with your sub-par album reviews. i dont want the question to be asked, im just having fun here. i really hope you dont think im trying to act like a jackass, because im just dissenting and poking fun at your little god-core emo bands.

go prey about it.

i get boners while hearing about your holy men molesting children.

pwned.

[level4loser]

oh no...the thought just crossed my mind....i hope i dont lose scene points here!

aah! i take it all back!

seriously though, if anybody is getting mad at me...relax. im just having a good time.

word...did you see them back in peoria...jeez, i dont even remember when....

back when they ruled ass?

[Kelsey Brusseau]

oh no...the thought just crossed my mind....i hope i dont lose scene points here!

aah! i take it all back!

seriously though, if anybody is getting mad at me...relax. im just having a good time.

how is being immature and rude having a good time... no one else seems to think it is besides you. u dont have to like bands/people and/or agree with them, but respect them on here. i wont stand for since less bashing, if you dont like something say it in a constructive way.

[farvaxrepublica]

Question: Are you still friends with old singer Dallas Taylor and do you dig his new band? I have always wondered if the "new" songs you played last winter in a little hell hole in Rochester, NY when you were like and hour late if they were songs you had with only with Dallas or if they were any of the songs that are on the new disc.
Good luck on your tour with RAR and keep doing what your doing, good stuff..

[Bloody_Lil_Boy]

First of all, I love UnderOath and look forward to seeing them on Taste of Chaos.
My question: How are you dealing with your sudden success, considering the last record was easily top 3 of the year? Oh, and do you think the next record will build on that, or are you going Brand New style and evolving to an amazing level?

[tran in japan]

oh no...the thought just crossed my mind....i hope i dont lose scene points here!

aah! i take it all back!

seriously though, if anybody is getting mad at me...relax. im just having a good time.



You dont need to be a jerk to have a good time.

[finchfan313]

What are your feelings on the current outbreak of show violence? (ie. Do you take any necessary precautions at shows now since the Dimebag Darrell and Fire When Ready incidents? etc.)

[dashboard1190]

First off, amazing band, one of my top albums of 2004.

Second, what made you come up with the idea for the album artwork? I absolutely love the idea. I did a part of the CD Cover for an art project in school.

[so typical]

question: "Some will seek forgiveness, others will escape" was one of the more standout tracks on the album, will you have more ballads in your next release?

[sensesfail4]

how did u guys go about putting your own spin on the "wrapped around your finger"?

[fullcollapse88]

what was the inspiration behind it's dangerous business...and how does the line "now you can walk hand in hand with him" fit in? is that about god? and the drowning in the sleep...what's that a metaphor for? i really want this song just completely explained, because it's amazing but i want the story behind it.

[youwantromance?]

You are very involved in your religion obviously... does this have an affect on the way you can connect with your fans? For example, do you feel you can connect more with the Christian ones than the athiest or Jewish fan?

[jacksteve111]

Q. what is your favorite police song

[XlenceOfXecution]

ask them if they ever still keep in touch with dallas and if they ever thought of having a tour w/ maylene and the sons of disaster....and if so, ask if its going to be on the west side of the country!

[sellitforcaeish]

dude.........you cant self-claim ownage. and putting a 'p' in front of it doesnt make it more extravagant.

[level4loser]

dude.........you cant self-claim ownage. and putting a 'p' in front of it doesnt make it more extravagant.

i think i just did.

[dumbcorey]

dude why do u have to down a christian band, there is nothing different about christian music except they worship God and are doing it for Him....if u have any respect u will let them do as they please, and enjoy music for the music, and not for a freaking genre label

[XlenceOfXecution]

tell em' dude!

[level4loser]

dude why do u have to down a christian band, there is nothing different about christian music except they worship God and are doing it for Him....if u have any respect u will let them do as they please, and enjoy music for the music, and not for a freaking genre label

hahahahahahahaha. i know. i love many godcore bands. perfect examples are fear before and as i lay dying.

so, youre an idiot. do your homework first.

[dumbcorey]

right there, u said it, you were making fun of christian emo-core bands

i did my homework thank you

[level4loser]

right there, u said it, you were making fun of christian emo-core bands

i did my homework thank you

as i lay dying and fear before arent quite "emo-core"

you didnt do your homework....you fail.

youre welcome.

[thenewline]

as i lay dying and fear before arent quite "emo-core"

you didnt do your homework....you fail.

youre welcome.

and you fail in life.god do you have anything better to do then bitch about bands you dont like...

[warrenwheel]

Here's my question...

Do you feel any type of pressure from your fans who are not christian, that while they love your music, do not want a religion forced upon them?
That's one thing I really love about They're Only Chasing Safety, is that other than "Some Will Seek Forgiveness", I wouldn't even think that you were a christian band.

[knowsovertale]

why dont they make their keyboard/sampler guy a merch guy or a tech. he's pretty useless.

[XmorganX88]

First off i love your music and you guys, keep up the good work......here's my question(s)

At the church u attend, how do people there take towards your music with the screaming? do other christians think it is a bit out of the christian sterotype because most christian songs are quite mellow and peaceful....because people from the church i attend heard your cd and they instantly wrote it off as satan worshipping death metal.

Also what is your favourtie song on There Only Chasing Safety?

Thanks

God Bless

[Talib Scottie]

you should interview limbeck and someone should review either their full length or the live record

[Allular]

as i lay dying and fear before arent quite "emo-core"

you didnt do your homework....you fail.

youre welcome.

Um.. I don't think Fear Before is a Christian band. In fact, I'm very positive they're not.

Wow. I mean.. you didn't have any credibility at first. But wow. Look who got owned?

[idioteque]

Just wanted to say that I love you guys, your music is awesome.

Question: What do you guys think is the best part of your live show?

Peace.


If you have seen them live, you would know that there is no best part. i was severely disappointed at the beloved show.

[FinchBulldog2]

why dont they make their keyboard/sampler guy a merch guy or a tech. he's pretty useless.

That's just ignorance...Listen closely to the goddamn record.

[twe]

why do you cancel so many shows?

[level4loser]

Um.. I don't think Fear Before is a Christian band. In fact, I'm very positive they're not.

Wow. I mean.. you didn't have any credibility at first. But wow. Look who got owned?

um...fear before is actually quite christian. and while youre "positive" theyre not...im 100% sure. so, stop being a moron before you question my credibility.

[AbsentTruth]

HAHAHHAHA nice one man. People need to stop hating on Underoath... I liked them back in the day when they had Dallas and they are awesome now with their new vocalist. I think that all of the changes they made were for the better and they definitely did not sell out. They are a unique band now and I think they have their own distinct sound.

[jerkstore20]

Ask them why they sold Dallas out over a girl just so they could capitalize on an obnoxious screamo fad.

For the record, they do it better than most, and the live show is still very good, but come on, a new singer doesn't naturally change your sound that much.

TRUE TIL DEATH.

[jerkstore20]

not only do you get dumber by the post, it would appear, judging by the great strides towards stupidity you take with each new post, that you are actually getting dumber by the second and we simply can't see it over the internet. think man, just think.

TRUE TIL DEATH.

What are your feelings on the current outbreak of show violence? (ie. Do you take any necessary precautions at shows now since the Dimebag Darrell and Strike Fire Fall incidents? etc)

[Talib Scottie]

i love many godcore bands.

wow... they never stop coming with the core words. if senses fail went religious this would be the word that they'd use.

[sellitforcaeish]

i think i just did.

but dude its like fake ownage. "faux ownage" if you will. and you will

[this site blows]

What are your feelings on the current outbreak of show violence? (ie. Do you take any necessary precautions at shows now since the Dimebag Darrell and Strike Fire Fall incidents? etc)

what strike fire fall incident?

[finchfan313]

what strike fire fall incident?

wow im sorry. I totally got the wrong band on that one. I meant to say Fire When Ready. I'm a moron. Sorry again. i'll go edit that.

[idioteque]

wow im sorry. I totally got the wrong band on that one. I meant to say Fire When Ready. I'm a moron. Sorry again. i'll go edit that.

fire when ready deserved what they got. you dont go calling the people at your show ***s and then not expect to get your ass beat. then the band tried to make them sound like they were trying to make a stand against racism...etc. lame. just admit you said too damn much and got beat up.

[finchfan313]

I don't think I've heard that side of the story.

[twe]

I don't think I've heard that side of the story.
your avatar is awesome. Arrested Develpment is so fucking funny. Buster pwns but Gob is my favorite. he makes me want to be a magician.

[finchfan313]

haha. yeah i love that show. i just watched the whole first season. this show is amazing. its sad that not that many people watch it.
