If you could interview one person...

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

So I was laying in bed last night wide awake thinking about different threads I could make on CF (sad eh??) and I thought about this one.

My dream job has always been to be a music journalist, so my question to you guys is:

If you could choose to hang out/interview 1 band, or 1 artist who would it be, why, and what question(s) would you ask them??

 

[jbgordon]

I think that if I could interview one musician, it would be Dave Matthews. He is definately one of my main musical influences. I would ask him the following questions:

What inspired you to be a musician?
Why do you think its important to incorporate different musical styles in popular music?
Who is your favorite band/what is in your cd player?
Why did you choose the acoustic guitar over the electic guitar?

Those are just some of the questions that I can think of for the moment.

i, too, would pick dave.

i would have to ask him this:

-How do you feel about doing future projects oustide of dmb? Such as another solo record, or another dave and friends tour?
-How do you feel about what happened with the Lillywhite Sessions being leaked?
-Why didn't JTR and SUAD make the cut for Busted Stuff?
-how do you really feel about the Everyday record? (i don't think i'd ask him this, but i'd really like to know his answer)

i'll think of more questions later.

Ronnie Martin.

I would hence try to weasel out of him how to record music synths, stuff about oscillators, and all that fun stuff.

Like jb and Bryce, I'd go with Dave. In addition to the questions you guys have mentioned, I'd ask:

- What is Halloween really all about?
- How did the loss of Anne (his sister) affect your outlook on life and its meaning?
- Do you find it more enjoyable playing your solo shows, with the full band, with Tim Reynolds or with "the Friends"?
- Who is the music personality (musician, producer or the like) that has most influenced you and your growth as a musician?

Like many others, I would like to ask Dave:

Are you just amazed that a band as bland as yours is playing anything other than coffee-bars?

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

i would interview Rob Halford (Judas Priest) or Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)

Rob Halford:

As one of the first metal bands in the world, how hard was it to break into the music scene?
Judas Priest was formed in 1970 and still going, how have u kept together all these years?
What were your musical influences?

Bruce Dickinson:

Whats the best part of being one of the greatest metal bands in the world?
After leaving Maiden in 1993, what influenced you to want to come back?
What is your favourite Maiden song/album?
What gets you going before a gig?

[Thrice]

i would interview dustin from Thrice.


All my questions would be related to his lyrics.

 

[Racheal]

Maynard James Keenan springs to mind for me.... so elusive, great lyrics... way too many question i could ask.

 

[cygnusx1]

I would love to interview Brian May from QUEEN

 

[RippinMicsFoChrist]

mase............i would like to know how he is (as he said) the solution for the hiphop culture. when he cant even represent Christ in his rhymes to save his life and yet pastors a church as he flaunts himself and not Christ.
