20 Questions with OLP!!

[MyronJ906]

Will any of your songs ever be available for Rockband or Guitar Hero?

I'm also quite appreciative that the band is giving us a q and a like this. It really helps us feel involved.

I quoted the above post because that's my question as well.

or better yet

How does the band FEEL about music games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero?

Who is your favorite member of Our Lady Peace and why?

[MindsOnLoan]

Out of your unreleased tracks, which one are you most proud of?

Just to stress these songs. Plus I'm actually interested to know.

[Carson79]

Who is your favorite member of Our Lady Peace and why?

Hahaha, oh boy.

You've performed all over Canada, the US, and Europe, in a variety of venues. What are your top 3 venues, be it clubs, theaters, or arenas?

[faninor]

Next time you guys are working on an album out in LA, you should set up a residency at a small venue like Hotel Cafe to test the new songs, shouldn't you? Like Jeff Buckley's famed residency at Barrister's Bar while working on My Sweetheart the Drunk

[DG]

I'm running out of good questions, but I might as well try.

Will you be performing at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI this summer?

[MindsOnLoan]

I've got a good one!

I realize that the band is really into self-production at the moment, but who are some producers you would like to work with at some point?

[DG]

Is the new album going to feature more faster-paced songs; Unlike 'Burn Burn' which is more slow paced, or ballad heavy?

[Heavy Alibi]

Well, in the spirit of everyone asking another question:

Would you ever consider working with Arnold Lanni as producer again?

[John Bob the Great]

I'm a huge dork so I'll ask this:

Have any of you ever googled yourself to see what's out there or looked at your Wikipedia pages. I hope they're accurate!

[MindsOnLoan]

The band has stated several times that prior to Burn Burn, the band has had to compromise their records in the studio (such as having to put songs they disliked on or a song not reaching it's full potential before it's release, due to time constraints). We know you guys dislike Hello Oskar, but what are some other songs from throughout the band's history that you dislike or wish you could have finished to your liking?

[Shanae]

Seeming as the music scene has taken an obvious turn in the past decade or so, which current bands or artists give you a hope and reassure your faith in music?

[adrenaline11]

What's the band stance on the internet downloading of music?

For example, Metallica sees it as theft. Dave Grohl sees it as a comliment and doesn't mind because he feels he owes too much to music to be greedy about piracy, torrents, etc.

[Tattooed Angels]

Ok TW.. Since you said you wanted serious questons I am going to put all I want to know in one post..

For Steve,
Previous tours you use to play with a Yamaha guitar. Notice recently you changed to Fenders & GIbsons. Is there a difference in sound and will you use the other one again. Also what advice would you give to a young guitarist starting out as best sounding guitar?

For Raine,
Can you walk us through your song writing process. Do you write lyrics to music or have the music written around lyrics. Are there any techniques or tricks use to get ideas, thoughts out on paper when you get writer's block( I write and have problems at times putting the ideas to paper.)
What was the hardest/most difficult OLP song to write and easiet song to write
Where is the strangest or most uncommon place you ever laid down a vocal track. I have heard some interesting places with other singer so curious. .

For Duncan,
Some years ago you sang lead on a few cover tunes. WOuld you ever consider singing lead or co-lead on an OLP song either on record or live? Think you have nice voice.


Thanks, Gail E

To The Band: Have you guys ever felt threatened or freaked out by a crazy fan? Have you ever personally felt stalked and not in a good way?

[ClumsyGirl618]

I've got another one. Forgive me if this one has already been asked.


What inspired you to become musicians? How did you know this is what you absolutely wanted to do? I'm curious because I know that Duncan and Raine have educational backgrounds in fields that aren't really music related.

Another one along the lines of this one.

Are there any songs that have been written/recorded that you wish had been included on a record but did make it because the label disagreed?

Do You Guys hate Minnesota? You cancelled in 2005 and you haven't been here since 2002. I would much appreciate a stop here sometime. You also get Minnesota Wild Jerseys with your names on them if you perform in the Xcel Energy Center! Thanks.
