What Does Music Mean To
You?
Joel - My life Benji - Everything Billy - To me Music is something that I've
grown up with since as far back as I can remember, No one in my family was really a musician and music was something I discovered
on my own just by curiosity. I've found that through the right music (which is different for everyone) you can use music to
help you through hard times, or just help the time pass. I don't think I could ever explain exactly what music is to me, but
I know it is and always will be a big part of my life. Paul - Everything, music consumes me everyday. It is my
personal most favorite form of art. Nothing can release emotions from within me as much as beautiful music. Thats pretty damn
cool!! And I get to do it for a living. HA!!!
Have you ever had an Embarrassing Moment?
Joel
- None Benji - None Billy - When we were in Germany on our last tour of Europe we had to play a German
TV show. The show said they didnt need us to do a sound check because on European TV shows, it is custom to play to a taped
track and only the vocals are live. So when it was time to play we went out on to the stage and I don't think even one kid
in the audience knew what band we were and then they decided we should sound check. So for about 30 minutes I stood on stage
pretending to play to a tape while a couple hundred German kids stared and laughed at me and were saying things in a language
that I couldn't understand. I think you had to be there.... Paul - I vomit in public in front of the fans on numerous
occasions. Pick any of them and thatll do.

Robert Smith Benji - Joel, Billy and Paul Billy - Any of the musicians I named in my favorite bands
