Ask Geoff ( Memorial Thread )

[Shiri]

Hah, only Christy can think of questions like that.

[Guest Prosis]

Geoff, question that even the "Inside Man" doesn't know ;)

 

Since I don't own the original copy of Lo-Fi B-Sides I've always wondered did you play bass on it or was it Rich? And were the songs recorded during the Underdogs sessions?

 

Also, since every record post Underdogs is tuned down half way, does that mean you left the band because you were too lazy to tune your bass down?

[Shiri]

Haha, gotta love that last question ;)

[mrchipps]

Geoff got another questions. I think the whole band wrote "look happy its the end of the world" or one of those songs on underdogs (could be wrong don't be mad dawg) how did the whole collaborative song writing go down. did you all down a bottle of mezcal or gin and just go nuts or was it a very sophisticated type of deal.

I don't own it either!!! As far as recording goes it was me unless they got Rich to re-record it...

 

We tuned down to Eb so Matt wouldn't strain his voice so much.

And I quit the band 'cause I'm a moody fucker...with the attention span of a 2 year old on meth!!!

I don't know how to describe the process...just happened.

As far as drinking goes...I'M YER MAN!!!

I figured out a long time ago that if yer gonna play in bars there's gonna be drinks...if there's gonna be drinks I'm gonna drink 'em!!! So' why not drink at rehearsal so you can play a show somewhat tippsy...the band did not share my theroy!!! ;)

Hi-test and Jaeger!!! Me I'm a Finnlandia guy....open the bottle...throw the cap away."I won't need THAT again!!!" ;)

[mrchipps]

do you play a lot of shows days within each other. do you have to dance the wire between drinking enough to get rid of the hangover and drinking too much when its noticable when you play? :angry: ;)

[Crusader]

[the old guy]
