0:55exactly the boys are coming we've got me and we're perfect we need to make it into the truck a lot easier with all these extra hands uh... i think that was honestly the last time i was in hannah as well it was very nostalgic but uh... you know it was it was hard to say goodbye to uh... you know that that great town that we grew up so yes the goose is still there i have been there since that is a good way to go out yeah that's what the total wants to know uh... when did you move to Vancouver was to start the band was to start promoting the band how come that happened when did uh... the actual move was in i want to say late summer of uh... of ninety five and went home and then everything just kinda you know sitting on the back burner for a while and then uh... mike was in vancouver playing in a metal band as already there yet

1:42playing in a metal band called uh... the black dogs of depression yes happy but with him they're happy with the yeah then we went out ninety six and and came up with a band name and and found managers and and away we went so that's pretty good for this next question from thomas leblanc in bordeaux france so that's nice bush is opening the tour your first dp came out around the same time as sixteen son razor blade suitcase would have been hugely popular did they influence your first songs in the whole grunge movement why was it was biggest bush one big with a little bit of a bit of a bit of a fight uh... with what you know what we were absolutely i remember trying to go actually get the cassette in town we drive two hours in the city cuz that's a bit of a sad thing that's a big issue in the we didn't have a lot of that seriously is ridiculous but

4:07takes a while it's not easy well what we try to do is i mean obviously we've we've there's four singles that have already been released of those are probably going to get played with things uh... and then it's just a matter of where we play them you know it's uh... there's a lot of logistics going on i mean we do fly in one part of the the show we fly all of you fly together in unison flight yes there's a stage that comes down from the from the ceiling picks us up it's like synchronized swimming it's like peter pam but you know what you see that yeah no it's nothing like that nothing like that so dia go here in toronto you're in the room to he wants to know uh... what's your favorite season he loves winter are you would you be dia are you really

6:29he's still getting the same tyranny still get told what to do kind of so we we all agree on the parts as a as a band we'll run through the tunes and try a bunch of things and everyone will go that's cool or that sticks out and then everyone kind of argues and uh they end up drawing what i don't want you yeah he writes my heart we all come to a general consensus so that's a group effort because it's all about the song in the end uh charlotte and bushy in winnipeg says i'm a single mother of a 16 year old son who i took to see his first concert at the mts center in winnipeg the last time you guys were here he loved it now he's in his own band my question is what advice to me as a mother who is scared he will fall into the bad scene which most bands get into before making it big in the music business how do i keep him on the right path it's good question it's a little roundabout but it gets there

7:17i think she's gonna have to manage the band i think you'd be an rock and roll for the walk i think the only way out is through yeah you have to go through it yeah she's gonna have to become the momager uh let's the only way that's gonna work um you know what if she did a good job raising her son then he'll make the right choices so right good answer yes that's true that's it um is there a bad scene like what is she meaning by that do you know oh yeah yeah they don't got sex drugs and rock and roll for nothing um that being said i i've never done uh any hard drugs in my life you know i've played with the same mild ones that we all do and we're experimenting with things but uh yeah no i i don't partake in uh in any of the the uh really stiff ones and uh you know it's it's hard enough drinking

8:04and and all night long and performing every single night i mean that's hard enough i can't imagine throwing more factors into the equation so uh it's just a it's a life choice and and if she sits them down and and does a sort of a recap on on musical history and shows her her her son and the rest of the guys in the band how many bands have broken up due to drug usage and and uh going down the wrong path um you know that that's a that's a wonderful way to say if you want to end up like them by all means start experimenting with this crap you know if you would like to actually make it somewhere uh and not fall into that trap focus on the music and and uh and do the right thing that's a good one casha gajawish in buddy in poland i just got a huge wink casha gajawish in poland uh ask which one of

8:56you guys spends the most time on nicklebacks twitter who's big in the social media uh chat not this guy chadly it depends i i this i i think that if we've got if we've got something to tweet then we tweet it you know and that's you know we don't take shots at other bands we usually we're usually defending ourselves um and we're trying to be comedic in the you know while we're doing it but you know we're trying to remove too much mystique and we talk about this a lot you know and i think back to the day when we were growing up if i knew everything that metallica was doing it's like oh james headfield's sitting down for a slice of pizza you know you i i want to think of them you know in the studio or or you know

9:41with guns and roses i don't want to know that guns and roses is all sitting down to watch a movie together i want to think that they're taking over a hotel room and and you know they're all having a great partying time and i want to think of that band like that i don't want to you know know that it's like oh he's getting his teeth cleaned he's at the dentist it just completely removes all of the mystique of of of what i think that that band is doing from from moment to moment shawn leisert montgomery college says if you're a bit if your band could have a ufc fight in the ring with another band who would you choose and why we just shadowed by definitely do a solo artist a busy man yeah we challenged and rekhaeglesius i don't know somebody by themselves you think you're tough
