Huh...I guess I asked this in the other Gob answer themed post but what are they/you guys thinking about for a name for the new album? And how do albums get names in general for them/you?

heres a answer from THEO:
"Well usually people get ideas for album names from inspirational experiences or the idea may suddenly just pop into there heads. Not me. My ideas usually plop into the toilet. I figure I'm pretty lucky cause each of my plops looks like a letter in the toilet bowl and we all know letters make words and words make album names. So over an Activia Challenge, 14 days and a bit of concentration, we can get some pretty cool album names."

That is something as difficult to answer as the question about meaning of life... Haha! Seriously, the easiest way is through mutual interests. If you're into books, go to a library, and if you see someone interesting around, don't be shy; go ahead and say something. That's a lousy example really, but you get my point. The most imporant thing is to be yourself and give girls a chance - even the ones who aren't as attractive as Hayley Williams. That way they'll give you a chance, too. PS: In case you don't succeed... Don't blame me, I never said I was an expert. ;D |

But your right about the Hayley Williams like girls. also girls like that are guaranteed to twitter topless pics or just take topless photos in general. So the not so attractive ones got that going for them Yahoo! |

 Day 5 - April 4thQ: What are the perks and disadvantages about doing music for living? - samueeL (TNS) A: (Tom) The disadvantages of being tour are really just being away from our families and friends for extended periods of time. That sucks. Airport security, flight turbulence, long flights/drives can suck too, but the perks more than make up for it. Just this week we bullet train-ed around Japan, played a few awesome shows in Tokyo, Kobe and Nagoya and yesterday we visited the forbidden city in Beijing. No matter how hungover you are, you can't complain about that.Q: Dear Tom, do you think being in Sum 41 has helped you evolve as a guitarist or changed your musical style and if so in what way? - Christine P (FC) A: (Tom) Yeah totally, being in Sum 41 has definitely affected me as a musician. Deryck writes songs that cover a pretty large range of styles so in one song I could be going from a speed metal riff to picking arpeggios to a blistering solo then playing piano, all while singing harmonies. It definitely keeps me on my toes as a musician.
It would show in my songwriting as well since we all listen to a ton of different shit. We're always turning each other on to new records or old records we have just discovered, or even old stuff we haven't heard in a while.

Q: Tom: What made what to start playing guitar? Influences? And did you teach yourself? -SickOfEveryone (TNS) A: (Tom) I took guitar lessons for about a year but I am basically self taught, I mainly learned by ear and from reading music theory books. When I first heard Guns and roses Appetite for destruction, I was blown away by the guitar playing. Other 15 yr olds sat in their rooms beating off, I just played guitar all day. If I heard a song and liked it, I learned how to play it by ear. I didn't really care what style, I would learn "The girl from Ipanema" one day and "Master of puppets" the next. I got into punk rock when I started writing songs, I learned to appreciate the "less is more" approach to music. Having a million notes in a song doesn't necessarily make it better, it usually makes it worse.Q: Do you think is it possible to tour with your other bands (O.M.D. and GOB) in Europe someday? - stevo32 (TNS) A: (Tom) I doubt that our other bands(gob/OMD) will tour with Sum 41. We put a lot into a Sum41 show, It's probably best to concentrate on one band at a time.Q: What intrigues you most about a song (lyrics, mood, drumming....)? - samueeL A: (Tom) It's usually the melody that makes me love a song, lyrics are pretty much equally important to me as well tho. I don't think songs need to be terribly wordy, I like lyrics best when they reflect the songwriter's feelings/opinion. I think Deryck's lyrics for Sick of everyone are fucking great.Q: Have you ever thought of posting tabs online for some of the songs you've written? I'm a big fan of Sleepyhead and would love to know how to play some of my favourites off How Far as well. Also, would you play songs like The Mend or Nothing New live again? They're my personal favs.- Alex (FC) A: (Tom) Posting tabs for whole songs would be too time consuming for me, gotta use my time to make records and play shows. Since it's my birthday, I'll give you a present. Here's a tab for the intro/verse of Sleepyhead, written in my own personal chicken scratch, hope you can read it and make sense of it. First tune all your guitar strings down a semitone. Start here and maybe you can figure out the rest on yr own.We(gob) try to play different songs from "How far" and "WATG" every time we play a show. I can't see us playing "the mend" in the near future, we haven't played it in years. Nothing new is a possibility, and we do play Sleepyhead now and then.  |
