20 Questions with OLP!!

DG · Post by DG » 4/8/2010, 4:39 pm

Are they going to be coming here themselves or is Trustworthy gonna be relaying some answers?

Are you releasing another single off of Burn Burn? "The Right Stuff" would be prime, since you have a video already made. And it's catchy as hell. Think about it.

First of all, I want to thank the guys for letting us ask questions, and for the fantastic tour they just put together. I am still blown away by how kind they were to everyone who waited outside the tour bus after the SM show in Buffalo (the only one I made it to), and I really appreciate everything they have done for us over the years.

Secondly, I didn't read through all the questions so I'm not sure if this has been asked (I have a raging migraine and my eyesight is blurry so reading the text on here is making me nuts), so my question is:

What was/were the main emotion/s you guys were feeling while you were playing Clumsy and SM? What kind of memories did this tour bring back, and for Steve, what kind of memories did it create? And how did it feel to play The Wonderful Future live? Steve, do you feel like this tour has helped you really grow into your role in OLP, or do you feel like you already achieved that, and are just more solidified in the band?

Sorry if that's too long. The main reason I ask that of Steve is because I still see people calling him a shitty player, a bad replacement for Mike, not worthy of being in OLP, etc. And I don't think that's fair (or even remotely accurate, and OLP fans who think that should be ashamed of themselves quite frankly), because I think that Steve has pretty much proved himself over and over again throughout the last few years since he joined. And I'm just wondering if he ever felt alienated from the fans, or if we have made him feel like a member of the family. Because I like to think of him as a member of the OLP family, and I hope everyone else does too

Meagan like that guy who posted on Mike's page. What a jerk..

I can tell you from experience(other will agreee) that the band has always been good to the fans. Sure there are days when they might not be in the best of moods. Who really is 24/7.? I have yet to ever see any of them be nasty or mean to any fan. Believe it or not there are many groups who are..

I'd like to leave a note to the band: When the guy posted something about Steve on Mike's FaceBook, Mike spoke highly of you guys and had the following comment to the guy:

"Come on Aaron, Steve's a great player and the important thing is that the music is what remains to be enjoyed. Give the guys a break!"

I don't know if that means anything to you guys, but I thought it was a nice gesture.

I heard a rumor about Summersault coming back someday. Let's say it did -- would you ask Crash Karma to play?

I have seen/spoken to him recently. ALways has nice things to say. At first I was afraid to even mention anything OLP related when talking to him.. He was never be afraid. You are one of their biggest fans and supporters.. He even asked one of my friends how the SM/Clumsy shows were.. Bottom line. I love OLP with Steve and with MIke. I love the stuff Mike did after OLP. That is what a true fan( in my book ) does. Supports the band and members.

don't even kid about that please..

Back to questions..Along the lines of recording shows. I think someone asked but will again anyway. For years some bands have professionally recorded(Audio) shows and sold to fans for a fee afterwards. Would the band ever consider this?

Do any of the band members visit ClumsyMonkey.net? How frequently?

twiqz · Post by **twiqz** » 4/9/2010, 9:18 am

Its great to see the band is doing something like this, MOL's question is what I was going to ask...except he left out NOT AFRAID.

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

Fox84 · Post by **Fox84** » 4/9/2010, 12:29 pm

This is awesome, anyways

Roughly, how many hours a day do you guys spend rehearsing for this tour?

Thanks

DG · Post by DG » 4/9/2010, 4:06 pm

Not to insert conversation but that's a great question! I second that one!

megxyz128 · Post by **megxyz128** » 4/9/2010, 9:17 pm

My question is similar to Random Name's. I guess I'll turn off the blue this one time:

What new or emerging artists/musicians/bands are you guys really digging lately? Are there any young bands out there you are considering for opening slots on future tours?

egotist · Post by **egotist** » 4/10/2010, 11:12 am

In interviews during the earlier part of your career, Raine would often get asked about the long term goals for OLP. Occasionally, Raine would reply that his goal was to write "one great song" that would outlive the band and be remembered.

Do you feel OLP has written that song? If so, which is it? If not or unsure, which song do think represents the closest you've come and why?
