He Is Legend Interview

[Caleb Cattivera]

I'll be interviewing He Is Legend this week. If you have questions you want answered, post them in the replies. Also, Brandon's been really busy lately, so I'll be helping him quite a bit with interviews. If there's a certain interview you want to see let us know.

[The Silencer]

funny that you're interviewing them this week, they are all I've been listening to recently.

ask them how it feels to be playing on a tour that so many kids are showing up to?

also, ask them why they are waiting until march of 2006 to start recording their next cd? I can't wait that long.

[etwiels]

Why have you been playing the same set for a year?

[Who Is This Guy]

is a new record expected any time soon?

who is legend?

who designed the el es leyenda t-shirt...its pretty sweet

are they gonna headline a tour?

doritos or chex mix?

[R7265ab]

What the reason behind the drastic change in physical appearence?( for the singer)

[NameTaken69]

ask them how its been playing on tour with SOTY

[Signals Corrupted]

What the reason behind the drastic change in physical appearence?( for the singer)

what is the change? i didnt see them on the last tour, but if it has to do with weight loss, i would accredit that to chain smoking and whiskey. i would also accredit his terrible live singing to chain smoking and whiskey

Considering "I Am Hollywood" follows a pretty specific theme/loose story, ask Schuylar if he writes each song for a record individually and the theme kind of comes out of that, or if he has a general idea about the theme of the record and writes the songs to fit in with that theme. Also, I don't know if they have any idea since they're not recording for so long, but ask them how they think their sound is going to evolve on the next record.

hah.... you dont lose weight by drinking... smoking you do and being a diabetic would cause you lose to weight.. im pretty sure.. damn that shit is rough.

and they should create a interview side bar for the main page. that would be rad.

[TaySavesTheDay]

I want to see that Fall of troy interview... any luck on it?

[Nightingale00]

why are they touring with Story of the Year ??

[The Silencer]

ask them how its been playing on tour with SOTY
hello first post.

I have a question for your interview. Ask He Is Legend why they are so fucking awesome.

[the rog]

this is not, by any means a statement about your specific interviews, but this is probably something that ANYONE who does interviews should read:

Do NOT ask any questions that can be found 1.) on their website 2.) on fansites or 3.) in other interviews. That is to say, do your research.

Don't ask "what does your band name mean?" Here's an example- the band Number 12 Looks like you. Their name is from a twilight zone episode, a better question than "what does your band name mean?" would be "So what's with the Twilight Zone obsession" or "What's your favorite episode of Twilight Zone..." etc.

Don't ask "who is producing your new album." this information can always always always be found somewhere... sometimes even here. You find out that they're being produced by... say... Rick Rubin. Ask "was it intimidating to work with one of the greatest rock producers of the last 25 years?"

Also, throw in some personal stuff. Don't ask the de facto questions. Don't be afraid to ask them random stuff (not politics.) Bands LOVE to be asked stuff like "what's your favorite color and why?" Or "how high can you count and prove it!"

So here goes: Do you research, ask deeper questions based on what you find out, and try to make it personal. Don't have a sheet of questions like "what are your influences" or "where are you from" or "how did you form"

Thanks for your time.

ask them what old songs they plan on playing on their upcoming tour with emery if any at all. because either they're all dead is fuckin sweet

thanks for the positive criticism, my last interview was the first i had done. so i have a better idea of what to ask this time. these guys are close friends of mine, so it will be a very casual interview. but yeah man, any other pointers you have feel free to throw em my way.

[I.O]

Is "Heather" a real person?

What is the meaning behind "I am hollywood",and what is it written about.

How does there faith play a part in the band? Do they consider themselves a 'christian band' or "christians in a band"?

so..are the SOTY guys hardcore now?

Why did they go softer on the full length than on the 90210 e.p?

Do they see where the foo fighter comparisons come from?

Are they straightedge or vegan?

There from down south....do they like bbq?

Do they perfer to tour with faith oriented bands?

[BIGDeVriendt]

Please ask them if they will be making a new video anytime soon since they are overdue for one, and if so for what song?

[Andyg213]

ask them.....

why are they so pimp?

[JoshCool7717]

Ask Schuylar where he learned how to dance. His dancing and his attire brought me back to the Renaissance Festival (which is a good thing.)

[alexmotesart]

ask them if they are hollywood

[The Silencer]

ask them who and why someone deleted my post.

[reductiondesign]

Ask them how they feel about their head-licking ritual.

good luck man,

i love doing interviews.

make sure the other staff members get a glimpse of my advice.

[weworemasks]

ask what their plans on the new record are, and what other tours they have lined up.

their headline tour with TREOS was fucking awesome.

[hometownzero]

who designed the el es leyenda t-shirt...its pretty sweet
I can tell you with 99% certainty that it was Brandon Rike from Dead Poetic...he does all of their shirts. (He is Legend is the new black was my favorite)

I second the faith issue....I know I heard something about it in another issue, but I'm really curious. How do they see themselves, what role does their faith play in the band?

How did they get so effing metal?

Sweet or unsweet tea?

Apparently they have planned studio time for the new record, do they have a tentative release date/month?

Do they have any of the new material written?

Have they thought about bringing in any guests for the new record?

[relientcasey]

ask them why they're so fucking retarded
