M4M: THIS BAND HAS MEMBERS FROM OKLAHOMA TO IOWA TO LOS ANGELES, HOW DID THE BAND START AND HOW HAVE THOSE
DIFFERENCES DEFINED THE BAND?
AL (BASSIST OF M212): JON IS FROM IOWA BUT HE LEFT WHEN HE WAS 16 TO GO TO NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. I WAS TOURING AS A
PRODUCTION MANAGER AND BASS PLAYER OUT OF NASHVILLE. NASHVILLE IS THIS HUGE MUSIC HUB BETWEEN LA AND NEW
YORK. SO I WAS TOURING AS BOTH WHEN I HAD A FEW FRIENDS FLY OUT TO MEET ME…LONG STORY SHORT JON MARRIES ONE
OF THE GIRLS THAT CAME OUT A YEAR OR SO LATER. AT THAT TIME I WANTED TO GET BACK TO CALIFORNIA TO START MY LAST
BAND, WHICH WAS GOING TO BE “IT.” IT’S GOING TO BE “THE BAND.” I WAS TIRED OF WORKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND I WANTED
TO BE BACK ON STAGE. SO JON’S WIFE COMES TO ME AND SAYS HE CAN SING AND SO I SAID, THE JOB’S YOURS. BUT YOU MUST
BE IN LA BEFORE I AM AND 3 WEEKS LATER, HE WAS IN LA. WELL JON’S LIVED IN LA FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS SO HE’S KINDA BEEN
TRANSFORMED SO TO SPEAK. DREW IS FROM OKLAHOMA AND HE’S PROBABLY THE ONE THAT YOU SEE THE BIGGEST
DIFFERENCES IN. THE GUYS FROM LOS ANGELES AND THEN HIM BEING FROM A REALLY SMALL TOWN. SO I THINK FOR HIM, HE
HAD NEVER REALLY BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF HIS TOWN. SO THAT TOWN SEEMED BIG AND THEN THE FIRST TIME HE
COMES TO HOLLYWOOD AND HAVING THE SENSE OF “WOW!!!” FOR US IT’S LIKE THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER AND HE’S LIKE
“WHERE DO THE STARS LIVE?” AND WE’RE LIKE, WE DON’T GO THERE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
M4M: OH YEA! MOST PEOPLE THINK IF YOU LIVE THERE, YOU MUST KNOW EVERYONE AND ALL THE FAMOUS PEOPLE TO! (Both
laugh)
AL: EXACTLY! I THINK THAT HAVING THAT COMBINED MAKES A GOOD MESH. WE GET ALONG SO WELL. IT’S EXCITING FOR ME TO
SEE HIM EXPERIENCE BIG CITIES. AND LIKE WISE WITH US GETTING INTO SMALL TOWNS. WHEN WE GO THROUGH HIS HOME
TOWN, I THINK THEY JUST GOT A WAL-MART TOO, WE GO THROUGH AND ARE LIKE WHAT’S THERE TO DO HERE? (LAUGHS) WHEN
WE’RE IN BETWEEN DATES, WE’LL GO HANG OUT. LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER WHEREAS BEING FROM LA, I NEVER
KNEW ANYONE AND RARELY RAN INTO ANYONE I KNEW. SO LIKEWISE FOR US, IT’S A REALLY COOL FEELING THAT WE GET TO
MESH THAT WAY.
M4M: THE BAND HAS TOURED WITH SOME ORIGINAL AND VERSATILE BANDS LIKE: BUCKCHERRY, EVANESCENCE, JOAN JET,
SALIVA, JIMMY EAT WORLD, HOW DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE SUCH A DIVERSE CROWD AND FANS?
AL: I THINK THE PARAMETERS FOR OUR FAN BASE IS REALLY WIDE. WE’RE ON “ONE TREE HILL” SO WE’LL HAVE 14 AND 15 YR
OLDS, AND THEN WE’LL HAVE EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, ALL THE WAY UP TO THEIR PARENTS YA KNOW. I THINK OUR MUSIC IS
PRETTY UNIVERSAL THAT WE APPEAL TO EVERYONE. NOW AFTER PEOPLE SEE OUR LIVE SHOW, PEOPLE COME UP TO US AND
SAY “WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH BETTER LIVE” AND I THINK THAT’S BECAUSE WE WORK SO HARD ON PERFORMING A GREAT LIVE
SHOW. SO I THINK OPENING UP FOR SOME OF THESE BANDS, WE’V BEEN ABLE TO APPEAL TO JOAN JET’S, EVANESCENCE’S,
BUCKCHERRY’S AUDIENCES, ETC BECAUSE WE’RE ABLE TO HIT THAT SCOPE THEIR AUDIENCE AND HAVE BEEN WELL EXCEPTED
BY EVERYONE. WE’RE ALL FANS OF THOSE BANDS TO BEGIN WITH. WE OPENED UP FOR LYNARD SKYNARD IN VEGAS, SOUL
ASYLUM, SISTER HAZEL, ALL KINDS. IT’S ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE TO SEE SOME OF THESE BANDS THAT WE’RE FANS OF.
WHEN WE PLAYED BUCKCHERRY, AS SOON AS WE WERE DONE, I RAN TO FRONT ROW TO SEE THE SHOW. AND THE FANS ARE
GOING CRAZY THINKING I’M SOMEONE AND I’M LIKE “I’M ONE OF YOU!” (Both laugh) AND I’M SEEING THE SHOW RIGHT WITH THEM.
M4M: THAT’S AWESOME THAT YOU GUYS DO THAT! NOT MANY BAND MEMBERS WOULD DO THAT TYPE OF THING.
AL: WE HAVE SUCH A BLUE-COLLAR MENTALITY. OUR MOTTO’S ALWAYS BEEN LOW EGO AND HARD WORK. WHEN WE GO ON
STAGE, WE’RE THE LA ROCK BAND BUT I THINK OUR BIGGEST COMPLIMENT IS BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHOW, WE’LL JUST HANG
OUT WITH, AND I DON’T REALLY WANNA SAY FANS BECAUSE THEY’RE BECOME FRIENDS TO US. IN MY PHONE, I COULD PICK UP
AND DIAL A NUMBER ALMOST ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY AND CALL SOMEONE THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD CALL A FAN AND SAY
“HEY! WE’RE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN, WANNA GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT ETC.” I KNOW WE WON’T ALWAYS BE ABLE TO DO THAT
AS OUR NUMBERS GROW BUT FOR AS LONG AS I CAN I WILL. THAT’S WHAT OUR MUSIC HAS BEEN ABOUT. IT’S BEEN ABOUT THAT.
WE HAVE A SONG CALLED “KING OF SPAIN” AND EVERYONE ASKS US WHAT IT’S ABOUT. IT’S ABOUT HOW AT THE END OF THE DAY,
WE NEED YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED US. BECAUSE IF WE STOP PLAYING, YOUR LIFE WOULD CONTINUE BUT IF YOU STOP
COMING TO OUR SHOWS AND EXPERIENCING WHAT WE DO TOGETHER OUR JOBS WOULD END. SO WE’RE FOREVER GRATEFUL
AND THANKFUL FOR EVERYONE THAT COMES TO THE SHOWS THAT ARE HELPING GIVING US OUR DREAM AND WE NEVER WANT
TO FORGET THAT.
M4M: THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HOW YOU GUYS ARE, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH
THAT?
AL: WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SONG ABOUT THAT; IT’S CALLED “CHECKLIST.” IT’S ABOUT THIS LIST WE CREATED OF PEOPLE THAT SAY
“I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND WHEN…” AND WE WENT, “AH OK, YOU’RE RIGHT HERE ON THIS LIST…” WE’RE ABOUT BEING REAL.
M4M: THE BAND HAS HAD SOME MAJOR BREAK THROUGH, WITH “SLAM’ BEING FEATURED ON THE TV SHOW “ONE TREE HILL”
ALONG WITH “HOW BAD” BEING FEATURED ON THE NHL.
AL: I DON’T FOLLOW HOCKEY EVEN BEING FROM LA! (Laughs) WHEN WE GOT FEATURED ON IT, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE ANAHEIM
DUCKS WON THE STANLEY CUP! AND I WAS LIKE, “THAT’S SO COOL!” THE MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT THAT WAS WHEN THEY
AIRED THE INFOMERCIAL AND EVERY WAL-MART ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON THEIR TV’S. SO AS SOON AS WE GOT WORD, WE
WERE DRIVING TO EVERY WAL-MART. WHENEVER WE GET TO WAL-MART, IT’S LIKE 4 IN THE MORNING AND WE RUN IN AND WE’RE
READY, IT COMES ON AND WE’RE LOOKING DOWN AISLES TO YELL AT PEOPLE AND BE LIKE “HEY! THAT’S US!!!” AND THERE’S NO
ONE THERE (laughs). IT WAS SO EXCITING FOR US AND CONTINUES TO BE. WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NHL AND
THEY’RE LOOKING AT USING MORE MUSIC…WE’RE ALSO DOING OUR FIRST MUSIC VIDEO IN LIKE 2 WEEKS! WE’RE FILMING IT IN
NEW YORK, SO WE’RE EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT IT COMING OUT AND GETTING MORE EXPOSURE…
M4M: WE HEAR THAT YOU GUYS SOLD 13,000 CDS RIGHT HERE, IN YOUR VAN. HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?
AL: YEP, RIGHT IN “BRUNO” (as he pats the bus and laughs). WE TOUR 10 OF THE 12 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. PEOPLE WILL SAY,
“WHEN YOU GET HOME…” AND WE’LL SAY, WE ARE HOME. WE GET TO GO ON VACATION FOR 2 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR IN LA.
WE’V BEEN ON THE ROAD NOW FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND STARTED PLAYING IN FRONT OF 4 PEOPLE TO 500 PEOPLE IN VARIOUS
MARKETS. WORD OF MOUTH JUST GREW AND WE SOLD THEM OUT OF THE BACK TRAILER. THERE WERE NIGHTS WHEN WE
STARTED, WHEN I’D TELL JON THAT WE NEEDED TO AT LEAST SELL 6 CDS TO GET GAS MONEY TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT CITY. IT
WAS LIKE THAT FOR THE FIRST 1 ½ YR AND THAT’S WHAT WE DID. PEOPLE NOW SEE THE START TO “RISE” AND THIS MAY SHOCK
MOST BUT THE 5 OF US HAVE NOT RECEIVED A PAY CHECK IN THE LAST 4 YEARS TILL THIS VERY NIGHT ACTUALLY. WE DON’T
MAKE A PERSONAL PENNY. I THINK WE’RE GETTING REALLY CLOSE TO AND WE’RE HOPING… EVERYTHING WE’V MADE HAS GONE
INTO THE BUSINESS AND MAKING CDS, GAS AND THOSE THINGS. THERE WAS ALWAYS THIS URGENCY TO SELL AT THIS MANY CDS
JUST SO WE COULD GET TO THE NEXT SHOW. AND WE ALWAYS DID IT. AND WE STARTED TO SEE THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
REALLY LIKED IT. YEA, WE’RE PROUD TO SAY WE SOLD OVER 13,000 HITS AND HAS KEPT US ON THE ROAD THIS LONG.
M4M: IT SEEMS YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT OF AWESOME STORIES THAT GO ALONG WITH THE BAND, WHAT ARE SOME OTHER
EXPIENCES/STORIES THAT EXPLAINS WHO THE BAND IS?
AL: WOW…. NOW THAT I SIT AND THINK OF IT, THERE ARE TOO MANY TO START PICKING OUT ONE. (Laughs) WE’V ALWAYS WANTED
TO HAVE A CAMERA CREW TRAVEL WITH US AND HAVE A REALITY SHOW. CAUSE WE LIVE OUR LIVES IN WAL-MART PARKING LOTS,
SPENDING THE NIGHT IN “BRUNO”. WE DONE EVERYTHING FROM LEAVING SOMEBODY AT THE STORE, THINKING THAT THEY
WERE IN THEIR BUNK AND REALIZING THEY’RE NOT THERE…TO BREAK DOWNS, TO CAMPING IN THE MOUNTAINS, DIVING IN
RIVERS THAT ARE 40 DEGREES TO EVERYTHING. I THINK THE GREATEST STORY IS THAT WE ARE ALL PU RISING THIS DREAM AND
WE ALL REALLY LOVE EACH OTHER, WE’RE THE BEST OF FRIENDS AND WE FIGHT LIKE BROTHERS. BUT KNOWING THAT PERSON
IS NEXT TO ME ON THE STAGE AND RIDING ON THIS BUS AND DOING IT TOGETHER. SITTING IN A WAFFLE HOUSE AT 3AM AND
DRIVING 1000 MILES TO GET TO THE NEXT SHOW. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’RE DOING IT TOGETHER AND THAT SENSE OF
BEING ON A TEAM AND KNOWING THAT THE GUYS NEXT TO YOU WILL HOLD YOUR HANDS UP WHEN YOU CAN’T DO IT. THAT’S
PROBABLY THE GREATEST STORY I CAN TELL YOU.
M4M: IT’S AMAZING TO SEE HOW THE STORY UNFOLDS AND HOW YOU INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. EACH BAND IS DIFFERENT
BUT THERE’S A UNIQUENESS TO THIS BAND IN PARTICULAR.
AL: WE’RE A BIT DIFFERENCE THAN MOST I THINK. IF YOU WERE TO SPEND A FEW DAYS WITH US ON THE ROAD YOU’D SEE THAT
WE DON’T FUNCTION LIKE A TYPICAL “ROCK BAND.” WE TEND TO FUNCTION LIKE THE MILITARY OR THE MOB (both laugh). WE
CLEAN THE BUS EVERY DAY, EVERYONE HELPS OUT. PEOPLE WILL ASK US WHAT WE DO AFTER EACH SHOW, AND I’LL TELL YA,
WE REALLY ARE NOT’T THAT EXCITING (laughs). WE DRIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT TO GET TO THE NEXT STOP AND LOAD IN, DO THE
SHOW AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. SO MOST OF THE EXPERIENCES THAT HAPPEN, HAPPEN RIGHT HERE (pointing around the bus).
WE JUST GOT A PLASMA IN HERE SO WE’LL HAVE HORROR MOVIE NIGHT AND HANG OUT IN OUR BUNKS AND WATCH THOSE OR TV
SHOWS THAT WE CAN GET. SO IT’S THE SENSE THAT YOU’RE AT SUMMER CAMP OR SOMETHING. WE’LL GET TO A PARKING LOT
AND PLAY FRISBEE GOLF UNTIL SECURITY KICKS US OUT OR WE’LL GET THE KID BIKES OUT AT 4AM IN WAL-MART AND RIDE
AROUND, RUNNING AWAY FROM SECURITY (both laugh) OR WE’LL STEAL A CLOCK FROM THE WAFFLE HOUSE AND SEE IF WE CAN
MAKE IT OUT…WE HAVE ALL THESE CRAZY EXPERIENCES BUT IT’S MOSTLY US AND US WORKING AND DOING WHAT WE LOVE. WE
LOVE BEING ROCK STARS SO MUCH, HOUSES, JOBS, PAYCHECKS SO WE WORK REALLY HARD SO THE SACRIFICE AND WORK IS
REALLY WORTH IT AT THE END OF THE DAY…WE’RE ROCK STARS FOR AN HOUR OR SO ON STAGE, THEN WE’RE JUST NORMAL
PEOPLE AND DO EVERYTHING OURSELVES. IT HELPS KEEPS US GROUNDED IN A SENSE.
M4M: NEW ALBUM, JULY 22ND. WE’RE EXCITED FOR IT TO COME OUT!
AL: OOHHH, I AM SO EXCITED! WE JUST SINGED WITH JHK. KOCH RECORDS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THE RECORD COMES OUT
ON JULY 22ND, MIDNIGHT TO TWELVE SELF-TITLED CD COMES OUT. IT IS A RECORD THAT IS A RARITY I THINK. YOU KNOW WHEN
YOU BUY AN ALBUM, THERE’S LIKE 3 OR 4 SONGS ON IT THAT ARE REALLY GOOD THEN THE REST ARE EH, OK. I FEEL LIKE THIS
RECORD, TRACK 1 THROUGH 12 IS IT, IT JUST KEEPS MOVING AND I’M REALLY PROUD OF IT. OUR PRODUCER SYLVIA MASSY
SHIVY, PROBABLY THE BEST FEMALE PRODUCER IN THE COUNTRY (WHOSE DONE TOM PETTY, TOOL, JOHNNY CASH…), WE HAVE
A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH. WE ALSO WORKED WITH A GUY NAMED RICH VELTROP. THEY BOTH PUT THEIR HEART AND SOUL,
AS DID WE, INTO THIS RECORD. WE WANT TO LOOK BACK ON THE RECORD AND SAY, WOW. THAT WAS THE BEST FIRST RECORD
AND BE PROUD OF WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED. I THINK WE’RE JUST EXCITED TO GO INTO A STORE, EVEN THOUGH WE’V ALREADY
SOLD 13,000 EP CDS THAT WE ARE ABEL TO SEE IT AND HAVE IT IN YOUR HANDS…. IT’S THE AMALGAMATION OF ALL OF OUR HARD
WORK THAT I’M EXCITED TO SEE. IT’S A PROUD MOMENT AND I’M EXCITED. IT GOES WITH OUR SHOWS. WE TAKE YOU ON A
JOURNEY AND EXPERIENCE VARIOUS EMOTIONS. MOST PEOPLE EVERY NIGHT, WILL EXPERIENCE AGGRESSION, EXCITEMENT,
HAPPINESS, THEY WILL CRY EMOTIONALLY THEN CELEBRATE. WE TAKE YOU ON THIS JOURNEY THAT WE’V GONE TH ROUGH THE
RECORD AND WHAT WE’V DONE IN OUR LIVES. LAST NIGHT, WE HAD A 250 LB TAT’D UP GUY COME UP TO US, CAME UP TO US
WITH A TEAR IN HIS EYE AND SAID “GOOD MORNING AGAIN (WHICH IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND RELEASE BY THE WAY) WAS A
GREAT SONG. I LOVE THAT OUR SHOW CAN TAKE EVERYONE FROM THROUGH THIS JOURNEY AND US BEING IN THAT JOURNEY
WITH YOU. IT’S NOT JUST US PERFORMING; WE WANT THAT CONNECTION WITH YOU.
M4M: NOW WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU GUYS DO IN YOUR SHOWS AND OUT OF YOUR SHOWS, HOW DO YOU OCCUPY
YOURSELVES ON THE “DOWN TIME’?
AL: WELL WE ACTUALLY GET A FEW DAYS OFF IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. SO WE’LL ACTUALLY SPEND OUR TIME AT A MOVIE THEATRE.
WHEN THINGS ARE TIGHT AS THEY ARE, WE’LL GO AND SEE 3 OR 4 MOVIES IN ONE DAY. WE’LL GRAB MCDONALDS
CHEESEBURGERS, SOMETIME WE’LL HAVE WALKIE-TALKIES AND HEADSETS, WE KNOW WHAT TO WEAR, WHEN TO WEAR IT, WHEN
SHIFTS CHANGE SO WE’LL CHANGE OUR CLOTHES AND THE NEW SHIFT WON’T KNOW ANY DIFFERENCE (both laugh), SO A LOT OF
TIMES, IT’S SPENT WITH 99 CENT CHEESEBURGERS AND WATCHING THE LATEST MOVIES. ACTUALLY OUR SONG “TOO MUCH” IS
ABOUT THAT. EVERY SONG IS A CHRONICLE TO OUR LIVES (laughs) INCLUDING THAT. A LOT OF THE TIME IS SPENT IN A PARKING
LOT, DOING INTERVIEWS, TALKING TO PEOPLE, PROMOTING THE SHOWS, ETC. SO WHEN WE DO GET A RARE DAY OFF, WE’RE
OFFERED MEALS AT OUR FRIENDS’ PLACES. WE’LL PLUG IN THE BUS, SLEEP ON THE BUS AND PEOPLE WILL COOK FOR US AND
WE’LL JUST CHILL. SO THAT’S WHY THE FANS ARE MORE OUR FRIENDS THAN ANYTHING YA KNOW? ALMOST EVERY STATE,
PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR US TO PLUG INTO THEIR HOUSE (both laugh)….
M4M: NOW WE’V GONE OVER A LOT OF STUFF BUT WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU THINK OTHERS MIGHT NOT KNOW?
AL: THERE’S SO MUCH; THE SACRIFICES THAT WE’V MADE…MOST PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED WHEN THEY LEARN WE DON’T DRINK. A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE DECIDED THAT THINGS GOT TO QUICK AND OUT OF HAND TOO EASY SO WE SAID, YA KNOW, IT’S NOT
WORTH IT. AND WE HAVEN’T IN YEARS NOW. WE’RE HAPPIER NOW. WE DON’T PUSH IT ON OTHERS BUT WE APPRECIATE THE
THOUGHT NONE THE LESS. PEOPLE ARE LIKE “A ROCK BAND THAT DOES NOT DRINK?” MOST PEOPLE WHO HANG OUT WITH US
HAVE AN ABSOLUTE BLAST. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE ALL OF US TOGETHER, WE CRACK UP. WE LOVE SCARING EACH OTHER. WE’LL
GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO DO IT. WE’LL SET UP CAMERAS EVERYWHERE; GO TO CAMP SITES, PARK 1/2 AWAY FROM THE
BATHROOM SO YOU HAVE TO WALK, WHILE SOMEONES HIDING IN UNDER THE BUNK WITH A KNIFE JUST TO SCARE YOU. WE’LL
VIDEO EACH OTHER DOING THESE THINGS…BUT I THINK THAT IF ANYONE REALLY WANTED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT US, WE’
RE REALLY LIVING OUR DREAMS AND ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO DO SO IN THE PROCESS. HAPPINESS IS NOT WHEN, IT’S NOW.
HOW DO WE FIND THAT HAPPINESS? WHEN WE’RE PLAYING, WE TRY TO GET THAT MOMENT TO YOU AND HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE,
EMOTION AND TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN DO IT. YOU CAN. BELIEVE IN YOURSELVES. IF WE DID NOT HAVE THAT PHILOSOPHY
WE WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WE WANT TO GIVE THAT TO OTHERS AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR US……….
DIFFERENCES DEFINED THE BAND?

SHIFTS CHANGE SO WE’LL CHANGE OUR CLOTHES AND THE NEW SHIFT WON’T KNOW ANY DIFFERENCE (both laugh), SO A LOT OF
TIMES, IT’S SPENT WITH 99 CENT CHEESEBURGERS AND WATCHING THE LATEST MOVIES. ACTUALLY OUR SONG “TOO MUCH” IS
ABOUT THAT. EVERY SONG IS A CHRONICLE TO OUR LIVES (laughs) INCLUDING THAT. A LOT OF THE TIME IS SPENT IN A PARKING
LOT, DOING INTERVIEWS, TALKING TO PEOPLE, PROMOTING THE SHOWS, ETC. SO WHEN WE DO GET A RARE DAY OFF, WE’RE
OFFERED MEALS AT OUR FRIENDS’ PLACES. WE’LL PLUG IN THE BUS, SLEEP ON THE BUS AND PEOPLE WILL COOK FOR US AND
WE’LL JUST CHILL. SO THAT’S WHY THE FANS ARE MORE OUR FRIENDS THAN ANYTHING YA KNOW? ALMOST EVERY STATE,
PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR US TO PLUG INTO THEIR HOUSE (both laugh)….
M4M: NOW WE’V GONE OVER A LOT OF STUFF BUT WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU THINK OTHERS MIGHT NOT KNOW?
AL: THERE’S SO MUCH; THE SACRIFICES THAT WE’V MADE…MOST PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED WHEN THEY LEARN WE DON’T DRINK. A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE DECIDED THAT THINGS GOT TO QUICK AND OUT OF HAND TOO EASY SO WE SAID, YA KNOW, IT’S NOT
WORTH IT. AND WE HAVEN’T IN YEARS NOW. WE’RE HAPPIER NOW. WE DON’T PUSH IT ON OTHERS BUT WE APPRECIATE THE
THOUGHT NONE THE LESS. PEOPLE ARE LIKE “A ROCK BAND THAT DOES NOT DRINK?” MOST PEOPLE WHO HANG OUT WITH US
HAVE AN ABSOLUTE BLAST. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE ALL OF US TOGETHER, WE CRACK UP. WE LOVE SCARING EACH OTHER. WE’LL
GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO DO IT. WE’LL SET UP CAMERAS EVERYWHERE; GO TO CAMP SITES, PARK 1/2 AWAY FROM THE
BATHROOM SO YOU HAVE TO WALK, WHILE SOMEONES HIDING IN UNDER THE BUNK WITH A KNIFE JUST TO SCARE YOU. WE’LL
VIDEO EACH OTHER DOING THESE THINGS…BUT I THINK THAT IF ANYONE REALLY WANTED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT US, WE’
RE REALLY LIVING OUR DREAMS AND ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO DO SO IN THE PROCESS. HAPPINESS IS NOT WHEN, IT’S NOW.
HOW DO WE FIND THAT HAPPINESS? WHEN WE’RE PLAYING, WE TRY TO GET THAT MOMENT TO YOU AND HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE,
EMOTION AND TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN DO IT. YOU CAN. BELIEVE IN YOURSELVES. IF WE DID NOT HAVE THAT PHILOSOPHY
WE WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WE WANT TO GIVE THAT TO OTHERS AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR US……….
