Are you old enough to remember mosh pits? Can you tell me what a mosh was? Yes, of course. I moshed HARD at Anthrax at the Troubador and almost lost my shoe, my hat AND my shirt in the pit at a Suicidal Tendencies show. See Anthrax "Caught in a Mosh" for details. – Vic, Drums
Trick question - Mosh pits are still a very relevant thing. It's a vulgar display of power (see what I did there), but with camaraderie and rules. If you you punch, kick or hurt anyone, you are just an ass. – Ciscos, Guitar

I tell myself so. It's not about the brand of guitar, it's all about your fingering technique (too much information?) – Ciscos, Guitar
I'll show you. It's over here...in my room. – Vic, Drums
Who ripped the holes in your jeans, you or someone in China? I did! That’s why its trendy AF. – Roland, Guitar
Do you have any reefer? Thanks. Uh, obviously. Is that even a real question? – Brandon Bethea, Bass
Tits, bits and pits. Discuss. The making of a great band name. We’re “Tits, Bits and Pits. Lookin’ good, smelling better. Goodnight!” – Chelsea, Vocals

Will Shepler – Singer, Ruckus
Are you old enough to remember mosh pits? Can you tell me what a mosh was? Went to a free Staind concert circa 2001 in Atlanta. Got 50 rows from the front, couldn’t breathe. Then the mosh pits formed and squished us more. not fun.
What else could the letters EDM stand for? Ecstatic Drugs, Man

Shane Brouse – Bassist, Ruckus
Are you old enough to remember mosh pits? Can you tell me what a mosh was? I am too old to remember mosh pits but my millennial friends say that there was one at the Melvins show we were at last month. The Melvins are older than me. Hopefully they aren’t counting on me to remember that they have mosh pits.

Has a guitar ever gotten you laid? What is the best brand of guitar for getting one laid? Asking for a friend. No, but a guitarist has (I’m a bassist so I need all the help I can get).

Whose Spotify playlist would you rather hear: Kid Rock or Kid Cudi? Kid Rock – American Badass
Are you old enough to remember mosh pits? Can you tell me what a mosh was? Mosh comes from “Nosh” – which is the Yiddish word for “eating” or “hungry”. A mosh pit resembles a traditional dance called “the hora” that is done at bar mitzvahs and jewish weddings. As the dance ends, attendees then “nosh” (eat the meal). At the Rainbow Theatre, London, on December 31, 1977, the Ramones recorded their live record “It’s Alive”. In between songs, Joey Ramone (who was Jewish) can be heard advising the crowd of rowdy punks “Ay youse guys, you gotta be careful in the nosh pit”. On the recording it sounds like “mosh pit”.

How many people in your agency or office play an instrument? Why aren’t they with you onstage? A lot. Clearly we have only the highest and most specific standards. Also they couldn’t get babysitters during practice.
How is a client call like attending a music festival? (You know, crowd too big, people elbowing to get in front, happens over two weekends…) The only way to be heard is to shout as loud as possibly and interrupt whomever is talking. Also the copious amounts of alcohol required to enjoy it.

Follow up, of the members of the muppet band, who us your favorite? It’s Janice, right? Because if it’s not Janice you’re wrong. No, dummy. Animal is the best. See above. Dude needs to be chained up when he’s not playing. That’s a rockstar.
Tits, bits and pits. Discuss. The trick to all three is to let them breathe. And if you don’t mind your pits you’ll never see anyone’s tits and bits.
Who ripped the holes in your jeans, you or someone in China? Holes should be earned, not purchased.
Has a guitar ever gotten you laid? What is the best brand of guitar for getting one laid? Asking for a friend. The best guitar to get you laid is the one you can actually play.
Why did you name your band that? Really. Is your mom okay with it? My mom doesn’t know, nor would she understand the reference. Which is a good metaphor for our relationship.
Whose Spotify playlist would you rather hear:
Kim Jong-un’s or Jared Kushner’s? No.
Kid Rock or Kid Cudi? Kid Cudi is a musician, Kid Rock is like the human version of a cigarette butt floating in an above ground pool. So Kid Cudi.
Steve Bannon or Pennywise the Dancing Clown? (Or is it the same playlist?) Bannon isn’t the same as the Dancing Clown, he just used to work for the Dancing Clown.
It’s been 10 years. Is it okay that we are still leaving Britney alone? I sort of don’t think we ever should have in the first place.
