ya, when i interviewed no motiv they were like, whatever we tell you about the vagrant tour will have changed by the time the interview gets posted.

Someone (August 28, 2002)

i actually asked bob about that last time i saw them, about a month and a half ago....and he didn't have a clue as to what was going on with it

Someone (August 29, 2002)

i talked to koufax when they were on tour with Hey Mercedes and he said the tour fell threw to due to the logistics of it all. He said alot of the bands would be touring but not all together as originally planned.

RobC93 (August 29, 2002)

a) koufax is so damn awful, im taking you like them, which would make you the first person ive heard that likes them. good for you though, i dont care what you like. b) i bet vagrant feels like some dumb shits for taking a two page ad out in the warped program.

Someone (August 28, 2002)

Are Hey Mercedes EVER coming to Australia!!

Someone (August 28, 2002)

All my interviews that I've done via tape recorder have already been posted except my Promise Ring one [it's a doozy]. I'm currently waiting for my emailers with Autopilot Off and Boy Sets Fire to get back to me. Chill, dooder. -Scott

Someone (August 28, 2002)

ahh i see. dont get me wrong, you do a bang up job. just hangin out for the tpr interview is all.

Someone (August 28, 2002)

ask them, " do you like your women shaved down there, or do they prefer the landing strip?"

Someone (August 28, 2002)

I'm just curious where they got their name... -'nrew heuback

PizzaBagel (August 28, 2002)

their name comes from the movie License To Drive from the late 80s... the object of Corey Haim's obsession is named Mercedes Lane... and towards the beginning of the film he shouts Hey! Mercedes!

Someone (August 28, 2002)

I got a Dog around the same time this CD came out and I named her Mercedes in tribute too the band and movie...... Pointless story

Someone (August 28, 2002)

I want you to ask them this (and please quote me too) "Why do you find the need to go on stage and play themost boring music ever written, and then expect people to stay awake for the entire set?"

2+ Replies

Someone (August 28, 2002)

oh shut the fuck up.....god, if you dont know thier songs and you go see them live, sure they might be boring....but if you know thier songs, their set isn't boring at all

Someone (August 28, 2002)

Ummm........I did see them twice even

Someone (August 28, 2002)

i didnt say you hadn't.....i said if you do see them, and you don't know any of thier songs, they're going to be boring.....ass

Someone (August 28, 2002)

Both of you are asses. They are not boring live, and they write great music. The first time I saw them live I had never heard them before. That proves your statement wrong, guy above me. -Scotty

september (August 28, 2002)

Ask them to explain the enigma that is "eleven to your seven". Please oh please oh please. Thank you. Katherine

september (August 28, 2002)

Why go see a band you dislike (or consider boring) to begin with?

REALPUNX4LIFE (August 28, 2002)

ElVaquero (August 29, 2002)

Jesus, are you the biggest idiot ever? I'm not sure. Anyone that makes the same, retarde claim/what i think is an argument every single post, and does it all in such an annoying type is just as bad, if not worse than any pissing and moaning kid in a sweater. Seriously, I hate emo just as much as any of the other "RELL PUNX" but for christ's sake, you're just moronic and close-minded, it sickens me that people like this think that this attitude is punk at all, all it is hate-promotion and completely devoid of any thought. Grow up, open your eyes, and for right now, shut the fuck up and learn something before you start looking like an even bigger idiot.

WeekendSellout (August 29, 2002)

Dude, I'm pretty sure the whole thing was a joke...settle down a little bit.

Someone (August 29, 2002)

Yeah, I'm guessing it's a joke. The real idiots try to be witty/funny.

Someone (August 30, 2002)

Yea, but why do you think Jesus is the biggest idiot ever. That's not very nice.

ElVaquero (September 2, 2002)

Still, even if he's joking, there are a lot of people like this around, and i'm not too sure if it's a joke or not, since he's made this post about 5 times or so and never once had anything productive to say. Whatever, he's an idiot, i can live with that, let's all make nice-nice now, mmkay?

Someone (August 28, 2002)

You said a million years ago "Ask Autopilot Off anything!" So, I did, and the interview never showed up! What happened?

I'm waiting for them to email it back to me. -Scott

Someone (August 28, 2002)

When are you recording new material? and.... would you be interested in playing Tijuana, Mexico?

Aubin (August 28, 2002)

How about a review of the new Weekend EP? I've heard good things...

Someone (August 28, 2002)

boxers, briefs, or commando?

kurp1975 (August 28, 2002)

Will the studio version of "That's Right, I Said It" ever see the light of day? Because that song is the boogie master.

Someone (August 28, 2002)

I asked bob that very question and he said probably not, they did a haphazard recording of it but they weren't too happy with it. He really is a nice fella.

kurp1975 (August 29, 2002)

that's a real downer then. i don't know what it is about it, but it's probably one of my favorite hey may songs.

Someone (August 30, 2002)

Hey, ask him why they're traveling in a tour bus when they can't even sell out a rock show? One of the most wrongheaded poser "punk" bands I've ever seen. Who gives two shits about ex-Braid anyway? nobody went to go see that band either.

Someone (August 30, 2002)

uh huh

tricky (September 3, 2002)

ask them if they think that they feel like they suceeded as a band more than when they were Braid...if they miss the old band, or feel like they have been progressing now

Someone (September 3, 2002)

ask him what movies he has enjoyed lately
