Not all of these may be word-for-word perfect, cause some were taken from radio interviews, or heard from other people and such, but I didn't think most of you would mind :) The more serious quotes from the guys will be put on another page...which isn't finished yet!
(Imagine Radio interview)
Deejay: "Do you ever get tired of playing Flood?"
Dan: "No, because it makes the kids happy, and keeps the bus filled with gas."
Steve: "Actually, it's Taco Bell that keeps the bus filled with gas."
(Gold Party interview)
Interviewer: "This time last year you didn't even have the record out, and now here it is, you've sold 500,000 copies..."
Dan: "We'd like to thank our parents for each buying 100,000 records..."
(Netcentral interview)
Steve: "I guess the ironic thing about all that was that we didn't set out to form a band, cut a CD, try to get a deal and move to Nashville. It was really just out of the enjoyment of it."
Charlie: "The CD was just--"Let's see if we can do it."
Steve: "...and let's think of a band name, cause we need one." [Laughter]
(Crossroads Magazine interview)
Deborah Barnes: "Okay, let's do a comparison thing. With the Beatles, people used to say Paul was the cute one, John was the smart one, and so on. How do you guy's describe yourself?"
Dan: "Charlie's the chick magnet."
Steve: "Yeah, Dan and I will spend a whole evening talking to some girls, making jokes, being funny-or at least trying to be funny-throwing the vibe out and being moderately successful..."
Dan: "And then Charlie will do something silly or awkward, without even trying, and girls will go, "Oh, he's so cute!" and then..."
Steve: "Then it's all over. It's all for naught. And it's not even like he's trying or anything. But anyway, I'd say that Dan is John. I think he'd be the smart one."
Charlie: "Oh, then I'd be the dumb one."
Steve: "No, no, no. I'll take Ringo. What was Ringo? I'll be Ringo. I think Charlie would be Paul, and Matt would be the quiet one."
Matt: "I wouldn't really call me the quiet one. I mean, maybe next to you..."
Steve: "Next to me, everyone is mute."
Matt: "Steve's decibel level is somewhere around a large jet. I think he should be the loud one."
Steve: "No really, Matt is the grounded one. He gets us back in line."
Dan: "Charlie is the peacemaker/servant in the group. He does his best to keep tension at a minimum. I'd call him reserved."
Matt: "Yeah, reserved."
Steve: "Reserved. And fiercely handsome."
Dan, Steve, Matt: "Chick magnet."
(Netcentral interview)
Responses from all the guys:
"We just shot a video for our first single."
"We love Nashville."
"We love coffee."
"We love Ren and Stimpy, too."
"I think that really covers it."
"As long as we got Ren and Stimpy in there, I think you've got a complete interview."
