We've been here at Pure Volume smoking speed all day. I'm Bert from the used. I'm John from Taking Max Sunday. I'm Adam also from Taking Max Sunday. Welcome to part two. Matthew Roberts. Matt Robb asks. I love you guys. Thanks for being so inspiring. No problem. What music has inspired has been inspiring to you all lately. John? St Vincent just put out a new record. I know something about a lot. I like it. It's very inspiring. She's a crazy guitar player. She's stressed. I saw her on Stephen Colbert. She was so fantastic. She was a smart, knowledgeless power in her world. Moe you know. What about you? Well, I've been listening to this band called Foss for us. They have that new record move. Check it out, kids. Which is great. So there's that. Cool. Amazing. Okay. Alan Andre. It's a lot of first name last names. Who's the biggest prankster? It was the biggest prank. The best one. Come on. Bands never could ask that. No. Never. Once the prank thing kind of stopped the long time ago. Yeah. Well, it's not so much a prank. It's just more funny and kind of shitty. Eddie snores really bad. So on the bus, our drummer Mark, his books right, like across from Eddie's. And whenever Eddie would be storing that, Mark would keep a drumstick in his book and just hit him with it. To get him to stop or he'd poke him. That happened. That's as close as we come to pranking. Yeah. These guys were serious pranksters. Watch out. Serious. They'll come to your house poke you with the drumstick. Have you guys ever, this is from Logan Shiplet. Have you guys ever considered covering a Led Zeppelin song? I think Adam could do a killer vocal track on all of my love. Oh, wow. That's a compliment. That's a very high compliment. Thanks. I don't know if we're good enough to cover a Led Zeppelin song. Well, you don't want to cover a Led Zeppelin song and screw it up, which we might. Too much pressure. Yeah. Yeah. Bonoom, John Bonoom, John Bonoom, Bonoom, John Bonoom, John Bonoom, John Bonoom, wow, wow. Okay. Conor. Conor's on parade. I thought that was, yes. Bonoom, John Bonoom. Oh, never mind. That's a story for another day. Conor, Hubert Howe. Hubert, Hubert, Hubert, Hubert, Hubert, Hubert. Go ahead about a few. Let's look for French. Du, J'all Paul, I promise you. I'll say. I'll say. Adam, your vocal technique is amazing. Is there anything you've done over the years to help you improve your singing capabilities? Well, thank you for the compliment. I just sing a lot because it's what we do. And then I think the more you do something, the more you find. How to manipulate it. Or like any kind, like even if you're playing guitar, you know. Though I still think I have a long way to go. Very long way to go. That was a great answer. And that was a great question. Conor Gibburt Howe. Dylan Moore has a pretty great question as well. How's the band's writing process changed from T-A-Y-F to happiness is? Well, we argue a lot less while we're writing things. Now, so that's a big change. There's with us, normally how it works, is one person will come in with an idea, be it like a riff or like a drum beat. And then we'll just kind of take that and build a song around it. And so, which is really similar to how we used to do it back when? Yeah. That's pretty much, I don't think much has changed in the way we put songs together. I think maybe when there's other people in the band that kind of changed. Yeah. But now we're back, back to the old ways. Back to our old ways. Back to the old high jinks. Yeah. Back to our old pranks again. You pranks. Polking each other with sticks. Scott Delac has a great question. Having released six albums now, has the idea of making a concept record ever crossed over your spirit so mind? That's not the way you put it. Sorry, let me read his question. No, no. Has the idea of making a concept record ever crossed your mind? It's plowing my mind. Yeah, I've never thought to do that. No, Pedro the Lion that winners never quit. Yeah, great one. It is one of the best concept records I think. He's such a fantastic artist as well. Check it, kids. Pedro the Lion, if you have it. I feel like it's hard to make a concept record to do it right. It's very hard to do it right. Yeah. I think it can either come off as very pretentious and self-serious or it can be very like forced where the concept is sort of very loose and you try to force it and pretend there's more of a story to it than there is. It's hard to do it right. Yeah. I don't think we've got it in us. I guess it's kind of confusing. What is a concept? Like we're all writing songs about concepts. Yeah, true. So, yeah. Caleb Gurth asks, what's the significance of one five two? One five two is I grew up in North Carolina, little town. And we just have to drive up to, like all the shows we go through Chapel Hill or Raleigh, where the colleges are. So we'd have to drive there. And we would meet, it's on Interstate 40 and 85, they kind of come together for a stretch there in North Carolina. And it's an exit we would always meet at. So it's just a nod to my friends that no matter how far away we get, they're still a part of what we do. That's awesome. Well, back to question one. Oh, we did it. It's been an absolute pleasure. I wish there was some other great questions, but there wasn't very good ones. I'm kidding. Those are the best questions I've ever asked. Yeah, that was good. I have a question. Oh, you have a question, sorry. I thought we were done. I have a personal question for taking back Sunday. How'd you guys get so damn cute? Oh! You! Stop. I'd love to have one with you guys. It's really awesome. Yeah, man, it's been fun. Yeah. And it's going to continue to be fun. Thanks, Pierre Volu.
