It depends on the artist really. I think Propagandhi are pretty knowledgable about social issues/politics. I'm always interested in what they have to say.Lilla wrote:Hey guys!
I would like to know that what do you guys think about when a musician talks about politics in public? Like in lyrics, in interviews, etc.
(What is your opinion about musician’s political commitments?)
Thanks

Re:
Thx for being a fan. Still pretty early to say what the new album will be like. I'm excited to get back at it though.Black Zed wrote:Hey Cone & Tom. Awesome to hear that Deryck is okay. I just wanted to thank you guys. Sum 41 was the band that got me into the harder side of music, punk and hard rock specifically. I absolutely loved Screaming Bloody Murder, and I saw you in June 2012 in Tilburg, the Netherlands, Live and I still think it to be one of the best concerts I've been to.
Do you know anything about the new album? can it be compared to any of your old material or is it all new? What can we expect?

Well Deryck and I have been friends for 20 years. Hes like a brother. My heart dropped to my stomach that day when I heard he went to the hospital. I heard hes doing a lot better and I'm really happy about that. Glad hes getting better.skumfukgirl wrote:Hi guys what do you think of the hospitalization of Deryck?

My first question is for you, Cone. Back in May, you mentioned finishing up work on new Operation M.D. material; how has the recording process been?

Re:
For me when I write songs I either write lyrics way later and fit the words into the melody or I already have an idea of the lyrics and I try to base the song around 1 or 2 key lines. Every songs for me comes together differently.jeremie41 wrote:First of all, hello guys, I'd like to know what inspires you to write, do you write about personal experiences, or ...?

Hey Samueel!samueeL wrote:Glad to have you. Question for Tom: Years ago you said that new Gob album will be rock'n'roll -ish. That was so long ago so I have to ask, is that still a case? Also any ideas when the first supposed single will be out? Loved Cold. Glad to finally know that the new album is coming out, seemed like a long process.
Yeah the new gob record (Apt 13) has a more rocknroll and punk sound than our previous album )Muertos Vivos), It was more of a metal record. The first single Radio Hell will be out sometime in July. Glad you love Cold, I'm sure you'll be stoked on the rest of the record too.
haha it was def a long process, I'm really f'ng stoked it's finally coming out

Care to shed a little light behind the meaning of Gob's upcoming album title?

Re:
I have been doing a lot of producing lately. A band called "Sun K" I worked on and I'll be doing their upcoming EP and LP in the next few months. Right now just finishing up a band called "Lebarons". I love producing. Just been keeping busy with that right now.dan41 wrote:hey cone, what have you been up lately? Send you all the best from germany ;) hope you come back
