interviewing brand new this week, question suggestions?

[chrisPAIN]

Thanks to brand new coming to TCNJ and me being the radio station's music director, it appears i'll be lucky enough to snag an interview pre-show. I could think of plenty of questions myself, but I figured ap.net would be a good place for some good ideas so i'm not askin stuff they answer every day...

[Crimson Reaper]

Do audiences in the UK differ from those in the US?

sorry they are the best band i've seen live, and i'm from the UK so

[tottivillarossi]

is it LAZZ-A-RA or LAZ-AR-UH?

[RamInGoreville]

Ask around what time they will start touring again, although that is a pretty common question.

But I just want to know!

(I'd say album too, but we know it won't be for an eternity.)

[Burn That Shit]

What were the main musical influences on the anticipated '09 release

[oddwithoutend]

What were the main musical influences on the anticipated '09 release

This is the best question.

[chrisPAIN]

This is the best question.

we can put to rest the Jesus Lizard debate =]

[oddwithoutend]

we can put to rest the Jesus Lizard debate =]

Haha good call.

[chrisPAIN]

i wonder if i should approach stuff like bamboozle '07 and the whole lyric sheet thing, or not playing certain songs anymore

[tottivillarossi]

What's the strangest thing someone has threw on stage?
Who is worse, 30 seconds to mars, or the jonas brothers?
Miley or Demi?
any plans to cover High School Muiscal?

I'm just spit balling

[RamInGoreville]

any plans to cover High School Muiscal?


What?

[tottivillarossi]

What?
I'd love to hear them cover a HSM song.









Go on to one of them MySpace quizzes, and just steal a bunch of questions from there, try and throw them!

[steviestare]

What were the main musical influences on the anticipated '09 release

This.

[Chromefox]

Hahaha, not if they can help it, you're not.

[StreetSpirit76]

This stuff has all been covered in the past. Go with the influences question.

[Rawrr]

"What the fuck happened to you guys?"

[Rawrr]

"Back when your old site had a pitcutre gallery of sorts, there were a lot of references to Double Nickels on the Dime by The Minutemen. How influential was that album to you dudes?"
Ask this.

[Chromefox]

"Has the writing process changed on the new album? How much of the album has been written as a full band ala Degausser?"

[oddwithoutend]

"Has the writing process changed on the new album? How much of the album has been written as a full band ala Degausser?"

seconded.

[RamInGoreville]

"What the fuck happened to you guys?"

hahaha

[StreetSpirit76]

"Has the writing process changed on the new album? How much of the album has been written as a full band ala Degausser?"

Good one.

[Chromefox]

Also, I've always wanted to know:

"What was the story behind Welcome to Bangkok, and why was it's title chosen?"

[StreetSpirit76]

Also, I've always wanted to know:

"What was the story behind Welcome to Bangkok, and why was it's title chosen?"

It's from a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie I believe.

[Chromefox]

"How much has your own music taste changed since the last album? What are you listening to now that you think everyone should pick up immediately?"

[oddwithoutend]

Also, I've always wanted to know:

"What was the story behind Welcome to Bangkok, and why was it's title chosen?"

I'm assuming you know where "Welcome to Bangkok" comes from (the movie Kickboxer, or so I've read), but you want to know why they took it from that?

[Chromefox]

I'm assuming you know where "Welcome to Bangkok" comes from (the movie Kickboxer, or so I've read), but you want to know why they took it from that? Yeah, not the what, but the why. Vinnie deserves to have a question aimed at him.

EDIT: Here's another one. "What new elements of music are you exploring on the new album? Do you feel that this album is yet another departure from previous work?"

[oddwithoutend]

Yeah, not the what, but the why. Vinnie deserves to have a question aimed at him.

Yeah, cool.

[Dahstin]

How about possible artwork for the new cd?

[kearn1tm]

Be a doll and ask Jessey who we're allowed to listen to this month. I need to know.

[Circa1628]

ask when they are going to put "Soco Amaretto Lime" back on their setlists

[raptorz44]

"Is that what you guys call tact?"

[gillygtv]

"do you do this to us on purpose?"

[LamarVannoy]

what should i have for lunch?

[redsoxguy676]

what roll has meeting different and diverse people played in the writing of new material for say the devil and god and for the new future release?

[StreetSpirit76]

"Why do you have such idiotic fans?"

[redsoxguy676]

"Why do you have such idiotic fans?"

i myself am a proclaimed idiotic fan

[funployee]

What has inspired you guys outside of music in the writing & recording process?

What can be we expect first, an EP or a full-length?

Can be anticipate a Jesse Lacey solo record?

[llwilliamsll]

What was up with the Lollapalooza incident? I only heard about it, and from what I get from it, they were telling people to go watch Explosions in the Sky instead of their set, which I would agree on.

[MyWorldEntire]

I wonder if this interview actually happened...
