What's up guys, we're called Pierce the Vale. We're hanging out at the pure volume headquarters in Hollywood, California. And we're here to answer a bunch of fan questions from you guys today. You ready? Yeah, bring it on. Bring it on, sister. Meg Tomkins asks, have you ever thought to yourself, I wish I wrote that song. If so, what song is it? It's raining, man. It's raining, man. It's such a good song. Yeah. Next level. I'm playing that one in my wedding. I think I gotta go with Whitney Houston. I want to dance with somebody. That's a great song. If anybody plays that at their party or, you know, there's a dance party going on. They're off in their office. In their office. In their office. You can't top it. It's like the best. It just gets everyone going. I think girls just want to have fun. It does pretty good too. Come on. It's a great one. It's gonna stick with that. I'd go with MJ Thriller. He's a shoot for the story. Yeah, that's a good one. I got a band name. That's the biggest amazing thing. You want to hear it from him? Yeah, what do we got here? That's a fun name. Atlanta, Michelle Hammond asks, can you see yourself teaming up with Kellyn Quinn for another collaboration? That's straight to the point. You never know. You know what? That's, you know, anything. I can have that. It's not broken though, fix it. Yeah. Yeah, you know. We'll see. It works before. Why not doing it again? You guys want to do some more? You got to do some more. I'll ask you again. Coming from a Mexican culture, yes. My parents have never really been understanding of the music I listen to. And I've always looked down on piercings and tattoos. And they have always looked down on piercings and tattoos. My question is, how did your parents react when you wanted to be in a band? Got your first tattoo and or piercing? My parents are really supportive of the music and everything that I was doing. As far as tattoos, my mom just kind of, oh, she never really said much about it. She seemed disappointed after the first one and then after that, she didn't care. My mom's pretty much the complete opposite. My mom freaked out when I came home with my first tattoo. And we're brothers and our mom actually has like five tattoos. Yeah, I don't know what she was. But I mean, I was, she has them in like more hidden places and I was getting them like, you know, I got my first one right here. So she didn't really like that. But once she like saw, you know, the band moving on and, you know, kids actually paying attention, she finally got it. And they've been super supportive, you know, the whole way. Do my mom lift? My mom, she almost hit me. She was so upset. She thought like, I got my first tattoo. Yeah, she got so mad. And I remember her like, when I got my second tattoo, she like started to cry and I felt so bad. I was like, dang it. So I just started getting them secretly. I'm like wrapping them up and wearing like long sleeve shirts and stuff. And just like not even like. You're like 22? Yeah, I'm like, Ronas Mann is like, Mom, let me do it. It's like the prison tattoos. Prison. And then I remember like, not even like a month ago. She, one of my aunts called me and said, hey, we're all getting tattoos. And I was like, mom, she was like, I got a tattoo. I'm sorry. I was like, you freaking hypocriticizer. That'll work. Yeah. Yeah. Desiree Apponte asks, when do you think your next album will be coming out? Friday. I'm a solo album coming out. Friday. Laurie Beth Moore says, what's the band's favorite song off of our record, Collide with the Sky and Why? I think mine. Mine right now has been hold on to me just because it's been really fun to play live and like, kids like, you know, on our fans out there, like, you know, when I see their faces, like singing the song, they seem like super emotional and stuff. And it kind of, you know, when they get hyped up and when they get emotional, we get all we feel the same. So it's like, yeah, I like the, the I'm low on gas. Jack, we play it live, but we don't do it like the record. They play it acoustic and I think it's like, you like it because you don't have anything. I don't like it because I get the chill. But no, it's actually like, you're great. Yeah. It's, it's awesome. But no, it's just, I don't know, I think the difference between the full band and acoustic is like, it's almost like, I almost like it better now. Playing it just acoustically. So, yeah, that's my jam. I don't have to go with Match and Water. Yeah, you do. Yeah. Basically, just because it's straight to the point, I mean, kids know the meaning behind the song and, you know, they're going through the hard times behind that song too. So it definitely helps them out. Yeah, it's about like, over-cending, like, cancer. Yeah. So it's up. Yeah, I need a new question. Yeah, bring on, sister. So you had a Smith? Like, once you know what high school was like for us. Mm-hmm. Dude, I was like, ooh, ooh. Okay, you're gonna talk about high school. Next level. From what I know about high school, but he, uh, okay, he was probably the coolest kid. He did magic. Watch your words. He did magic. Not like, non-magic, the ganger. I was a luscious, I was a luscious, okay. Yes. He was an illusionist. He was a sponsored, yo-yo player. Yeah, he was sponsored by what, like, the ganger, or the omega. It's one of those kids that could do like two yo-yos. So he did yo-yos and magic. Real ladies' kid. Real ladies, man. What you got? You got me, you were hushed. I had, I had some, I had at least blonde Liberty spikes and wore plaid pants and... Me and Mike looked a lot different. All the jocks wanted to fight me every day, but... They lost. They lost that battle in the end. Show them your guns. Maybe. Yeah, I was just trying to get a crazy stuff in high school. I was just shy and quiet. Coming hot right now. A little bit of cheers. Wow, is that a real last name? Willie. Willie's a treasure, man. Will eat your face. Olivia, will eat your face off. Is what her name is. Mike, what was your worst birthday present? I don't know if I've ever had a bad birthday present. Oh, come on, there's gotta be some. You want me to tell you mine? Because I got a good one. Well, I don't know. My past, like, five birthdays have been on tour. And a lot has just been driving through the Midwest. Happy birthday! Happy birthday. Now it's your shift. You know that shot case, you always buys you? The three wise men? Oh, yeah. That's got some bad birthday. That's the worst. We get my drum tag every birthday, his birthday, my birthday. We get each other a three wise men shot. And it's Jim, Jack, and Jose mixed in one shot. And it's probably the worst thing you could do to someone. That's why I drove my birthday. Dude, one, one, one, one, one, one, one birthday. My grandma, who was like, super Mexican. Gummy, a Ricky Martin knockoff shirt. And it was Ricky Martin's face. And it said, live in the Vita Loka. And she was just like, me, hope, or care, you live a crazy life. Grandma, you're the best. Yeah, she's killed it. You remember it. Everyone, all my family, like, laughed. And she thought it was like, I got him a great gift. I'm just like, man. Dude, I remember it. This isn't like a birthday. This is Christmas. I don't know if you remember when we were kids. Um, mom and dad got you like these little toy drumsticks. Oh yeah. They like made noise. They're supposed to make noise when you hit him. Like, and then like, I was trying to open a package for him. And I actually cut the cords. They made no kids. So I just ruined his clothes, president. I was like, no.
