musicians part two

so its been a while since i've wrote but thats okay because i have been thinking of some good posts and i've come up with one!

i kind of interviewed a man by the name garrett grohman the lead singer for lions and vultures.

i asked him a series of questions and he gave me a series of answers which most are quite amusing.

i have a very weird fasication with musicans just a little fyi!

How long have you been in the current band you are in?

L&V been a work in progress for about a year

How drasticly has being in a band changed your life and/or your outlook on life?

if i wasnt playing music, id be a junior in college, or graduated from the conservatory of recording arts and sciences. that said, i wouldnt be as happy as i am trying to make my dreams a reality.

If you were not in a band or a lead singer what else would you want to do?
i want to be like ari gold from entourage.
How does your writing songs process go?

with L&V alex and tim demo the songs and send them to vince and i, where we arrange and write to them. its a lot of sending tracks back and forth to make sure everyone is happy with the final product

Where do you seek inspiration for your songs?

everywhere. real life mostly. i love to write to movies as well.

Do you have any pre-singing rituals that you do?

a few warmup things, a quick prayer, and i usually tap everyone in my band on the butt before we go on stage.

Are there times you wish you were not in a band?

probably once a month i have a mini meltdown where i convince myself that im not going anywhere, and im quitting music. it involves a lot of nail biting, and pacing around my room. i rely on close friends when that time comes.

What is going through your head while you are writing a song?
is this going to make sense to other people? if yes, is it going to be fun to play live? those are the 2 things i try and keep in mind when writing.

How long have you been intersted in being a musican?
since i was in high school. i was in 10th grade when i joined my school drumline, and shortly thereafter i bought my first drumset. senior year my friends and i decided we wanted to start a band. i wasnt very good at the drums, so i took over vocals.

What bands/singers have helped inspire you to be where and what you are today?
first and foremost, gerard way. if it wasnt for that dude and his band, i would still be listening to gangster rap. taking back sunday was a big one for me too. adam lazzara is one of my heros. more recently, ive been obsessed with counting crows, lydia, and the new 30 seconds to mars. jared leto spit in my mouth and threw me a rose at taste of chaos. i dont want to say that im waiting for a call from him... but it takes a lot of nerve to share such a beautiful evening with someone and never get back to them.

i appericate him doing this for me!

i've always wanted to semi get inside the head of a musican however he is the first one so far that i've asked to do this for me!

one of my dreams is to be married or have a long-term relationship with a musican of some sort!

odd i know not many girls would want that cuz of insecurites but i think i'll do just fine lol

the human mind is one complex thing yet if you get inside the mind of a creative person such as garrett you realize how much more complex the mind can get in terms of really truely understanding how things like that work.

but it is one of my many goals to really understand how a person works no i do not want to be a psychologist screw that i do however want to be able to interview or talk with many many musicans!
