Travis: Business on my phone and play shows.

TVGB: What is the craziest thing you have done in games or while gaming?

Chris: Ripping the gigandalf during every damn game.

Matt: Went duck hunting naked.

Travis: Probably get measured for a tuxedo.

TVGB: Have you ever messed up the lyrics during a live show?

Matt: All That Remains in Guitar Hero

Travis: Refused

TVGB: Do you ever get tired of Krispy Kreme donuts and gas station food when you’re on Warped Tour?

Derek: Shit no.

Matt: Yes, but oh well.

Travis: Nope, I love it love it, love it, love it, love it. I’ll never hate it. Quit trying to get me to hate it!

TVGB: What was the worst Warped Tour show?

Derek: They were all pretty awesome.

Manning: Jacksonville, Florida. It was 234,567 degrees and dusty as hell!

TVGB: If you could give one person, any person, but only one person, a high five, who would it be?

Matt: Jesus Christ.

Derek: Good question.

Travis: Seth Rogen.

Manning: Tom Hanks.

TVGB: Do you ever wonder how old some of your fans are? You know, an old lady just chillin’ out with her cat.

Chris: I would rather have a shit ton of old ladies jamming to our tunes and buying up all our merch.

Derek: I think most of our fans are in the same age bracket.

Travis: Not really. What’s age?

Matt: Not really but that’s an interesting thing to think about

TVGB: If you could play anywhere in the World, which you probably have already conquered most of it, where would it be?

Derek: Cocteau Twins.

Matt: Flo Rida.

Travis: From First to Last.

Manning: I’m proud of my ipod!

TVGB: With games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero letting gamers somewhat experience what it’s like to be in a band, is there anything you would like to see implemented in future Music genre games?

Chris: I wish they would put out Metal Hero with nothing but the most evil tunes.

Derek: Maybe a more complex guitar controller.

Matt: Customizable soundtracks.

TVGB: Do you think we’ll eventually see games further simulate the “rock star” lifestyle? From breaking into the business, booking gigs, topping charts, headlining major venues, and fighting off groupies, what are the possibilities?

Chris: Well hopefully they don’t get too realistic or kids will get bummed their band is so damn poor.

Matt: I think they’re endless. Videogames could be the new movies.

Travis: That’d be weird I think!

TVGB: Did you hesitate when they ask your band if they could put your song into the game?

Chris: No way. Videogames are amazing. We want in on any part of them.

Matt: No way. I’m so stoked on it. I say yes without question.

Derek: No way.

Travis: No way, that’s craziness. LOL???

TVGB: What is the craziest thing a fan has ever done for you?

Derek: Baked us things? I’m not sure. Not too much crazy stuff happening to us.

Matt: Ran up and tackled me when I wasn’t looking. I got really freaked out.

Travis: Fans are awesome, I just love them all!

Manning: Once a fan made us pot brownies. That was pretty awesome!

TVGB: What is the worst game you have ever played?

Travis: Perfect Dark (ed. We’re hoping he means PD Zero and not the original).
