Awesome... I can't make it but good luck with the interview!

If I could ask them a question, it would be an obvious one: to ask Raine why he has changed his vocal pattern so much since Spiritual Machines, and why.

Yeah, I know :gravity:

, but I don't think he was ever really asked this question directly

MindsOnLoan · Post by **MindsOnLoan** » 8/12/2009, 9:04 pm

I'll be there! I have a few questions you can choose from if you want:

Outside of self-production, which producers would they be most interested in working with?

There are several songs that haven't made albums, such as Trapeze, Home, Sleeping In and Vampires. Are there any plans down the line to compile these on an album/release online through ourladypeace.net, or will they remain unreleased?

Lately the band has talked about songs they feel were compromised, or they simply no longer wish to play. Which songs might these be?

On Burn Burn, Raine sang lower and chose not to use his falsetto (besides the Paper Moon chorus). Why did he make the change, and will the falsetto make a somewhat prominent return on future albums or is he through with it?

That's all I have for the moment, but if I come up with any more ideas for questions I'll post them.

Ask what he see's in the future of OLP.

"Will you listen to my demo tape, man?"

This would work better if I had a tape to give you. Or had ever performed music. Or written it. But the spirit's the same.

Haha, I have a few ideas on who he might be... I just think it'd be funny to see how the band would respond (although I'd rather have one of the more serious questions directed towards the band's music asked).

ClumsyGirl618 · Post by **ClumsyGirl618** » 8/12/2009, 9:58 pm

I wonder if they call him TW. It would be funny if that question was asked and the band was like WHO? You're right though, serious questions better than the dork who started by telling Raine he couldn't pull off the fedora. lol

So all hat questions are out? Back to the drawing board...

Yes Loco. Ask him your hat question at the soundcheck.

gravity · Post by **gravity** » 8/13/2009, 11:59 am

I guess I'm asking about hats. I have to.

ClumsyGirl618 · Post by **ClumsyGirl618** » 8/13/2009, 12:31 pm

Okay but consider yourself warned... Raine might get defensive... he loves those hats... lol

Tattooed Angels · Post by **Tattooed Angels** » 8/13/2009, 6:19 pm

Yes gravity I will be there. I still love the answer I got when I asked Raine about the first song he ever wrote. I hope that sessions gets on line one day..

In Atlanta now. Can not wait to see them.. EXCITED...

Shanae · Post by **Shanae** » 8/13/2009, 6:27 pm

I'd like to hear what song they think best represents their entire career, and which song is the most signature OLP.

Knowing Raine his answer would be something like, "I mean, I can't pick just one song, but on this new record, there's a whole collection of songs that are so us, so Our Lady Peace, and it was all about being just four guys playing music in one room..."

Just demand a title!

When I saw your question, I knew that's exactly what he'd say.

Heavy Alibi · Post by **Heavy Alibi** » 8/13/2009, 10:06 pm

It ALWAYS ends with the "just 4 guys in one room" line. That is SO annoying.

Shanae · Post by **Shanae** » 8/13/2009, 11:36 pm

It truly is annoying. I think Gravity should work in a situation that makes it harder to weasel out of. Like, "A person asks to hear a song by your band, and you can only recommend one song that truly represents OLP. Which song do you pick?"

Still will end up with that lame answer but we can try!

gravity · Post by **gravity** » 8/14/2009, 12:02 am

i should lead him into being able to use "just four guys in a room" as many times as possible, then use it as a drinking game.

ClumsyGirl618 · Post by **ClumsyGirl618** » 8/14/2009, 12:35 am

Or my personal favorite.: Healthy in Paranoid Times was a combination of too many twos: It took too long, it cost too much money, and there was way too much drama invovled.

I love you Raine, but I have your interview answers memorized at this point.
