FTSK - nice guys? Jerks?

[tcg47]

This may be a really tired subject - in fact, it probably is judging by the little I've seen.

I'd just like to get some clear opinions on Forever the Sickest Kids. Not necessarily their music - personally, I love their album, but I know it's definitely hit-or-miss depending on the listener.

What I'm really curious about is I've heard a lot of different opinions on the guys in the band and whether they're cool guys or not. I've never met them personally, but I've heard a lot of people say that they - especially Jonathan and Caleb - are kind of... assholes? But then I've heard others say they entire band is just made up of really nice, good guys. Plus I saw this video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOkPp2KCXm4&feature=related) which makes Jonathan seem like a pretty down to earth, friendly guy.

If I love the music then I love the music, but I always have more respect for a band if they're good people, which I guess is why I'm curious about this - also because I've been so into their album recently and I've heard so many different opinions.

I don't know about FTSK, never met 'em, don't care to. But it definitely bums me out when band members are assholes too. It doesn't take away from their talent, but it does make me lose a little bit of respect for a band who think they are too good to ever interact with their fans. I have to hear quite a few stories before I form an opinion on the matter though, because everyone has a bad day, you know?

Sorry I don't know if they're cool guys or not, but I just felt the need to comment anyway.
