...but on the other hand, he doesn't want to just frustrate himself by trying to defend the choices that he and the band has made over their career. I'm not saying that he should keep taking questions about his driving habits...but they've answered a lot of the questions that I would bet we'd be interested in a bunch of times before. They're not the answers we're looking for, but keep in mind that he's got to appeal to a wider fan base in a column like that than just the ultra hard-core DMB followers.

pretty sure those are the only people who would have read it.
who else would have?


but i agree with the first part. people get too worked up over the littlest things too. some people are like "why did leroi stop playing that riff in jimi thing at 4:17...you guys sold out"

People who are interested in his company for one, or maybe people who post on the forums. The site is kind of a sports/music themed site, so I would say that that appeals to a pretty wide base.

Also, the desktop generator is pretty cool. Check it out.

yeah I never thought about that, even with the wide fanbase he should have mentioned that. oh well, its cool he does shit like this. Maybe if the rest if the band wasnt so old they'd use computers too :lol:

eh.. the questions at the end were good. That's about it.

even if i wasn't a serious fan, i dont think i'd ask him some fuck-stick question like what you do when your driving.

i dont think anyone in the world cares about that.

ever.

yep, he pretty much ignored all the tough questions that I know a lot of people asked and he totally dodged the only serious one about Grey Street. Its still cool that he takes the time to do this and it is nice to know that he recognizes BTCS as their best work.
not exactly. he believes BTCS is his best work personally, not necesarily the whole band's best work.

SL: I would have to say that I am most proud of my playing on Before These Crowded Streets. A lot of those songs mean a lot to me because I had a big part in the writing and arrangements of them. Check the liner notes - more than any other album.
