and i say this in all honesty: that was probably the best interview i have ever read. no really dumb questions no really dumb answers just real nitty gritty.
especially this bit from aj, got me a little bleary eyed:
As for the illegal downloading of music, I think that it will only hurt the music lovers down the road. Music isn't about making money, we could make music even without this band; but we're musicians and that's what we do. Had we decided to stay at home and work and just play for us that too would be fine. The reality is that in order to share our music with the world and travel to share it with you in person, we need money. It's hard enough to find a job for a month or so and have to do that every time we get back from tour, let alone making that cash last for the whole time we're on the road. So, if you download music for free, that's money that the bands you like don't have. It's the reason they couldn't fill up the tank to make it to your town and the reason why they had to break up sooner because they had to get full time jobs to keep them fed. So, if you love music and you download it for free, do yourself a favor and buy a copy when a band comes to your town so that they can afford to come back with new records for you to enjoy.
yea, i was worried when they posted on AP asking for questions for the interview because so many people were asking stupid stuff like "who's lizzy g?" and it's like, that's obviously an ex-girlfriend, it's not that hard to figure out.
