Heartland

Hi peeps,

Being that Heartland is a known entity, is it not possible for us to compose a list of good questions for Andrew that we could maybe get him to agree to answer if we then got in touch with the Reptile House etc? Has anyone tried this? Maybe the recent sunshine has left me feeling too optimistic, if so I shall go back to shutting myself in a darkened room and being a pessimist again

...erm...

Dear Andrew, will you still love me tomorrow?

....ööööhm... <--- totally speechless..

we (the mod team and myself) have toyed with the idea of requesting a HL interview a few of times, but we usually decide not to bother

my own personal feeling is that

a) collating questions from various members would likely mean an incoherent interview

b) what could we ask that hasn't been asked a thousand times

c) what could he tell us that he hasn't said a thousand times

which is why we have pursued a policy of getting interviews with other band members.... especially the ones have usually been less vocal that andrew (ie: gary marx, tony james, andreas bruhn) - they tend to have far more interesting stories to tell

This has been done in other forums, the Litany forum (Skinny Puppy) did such an interview with Ogre wich was really good, on the other hand he's a much more interactive person than Andrew...

Oh come on, it would be possible to group them and list them and put them in order... That is not the point, I suppose.

b) what could we ask that hasn't been asked a thousand times

c) what could he tell us that he hasn't said a thousand times

b) plenty of questions
c) he wouldn't answer, I presume, and that's the point.

Me, I've grown to like it that way.

no interview please. that just needs a lot of time. time he needs for the new album.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

but then what could we ask that we would be really interested in hearing that he would actually answer

not a lot I suspect

me: andy - does my bum look big in this?

von: do i give a toss?

as i see it, there are two types of interview we could do:

1) a band one - about the sisters, their current & future activities etc

to be honest, all this has been said in a couple of dozen articles and videos on the recent tour (all hail chris catalyst )

2) personal one - about "andrew the man"

which as debi suggests, i doubt he'd actually answer.

i'd probably go for (1) - partly because we'd be more likely to get some decent answers from him with those kind of questions, and partly because i'm more interested in what the band is up to rather than what daytime television programmes watches while stuffing his face with pot noodle

Man, I'd love to know more about The Reptile House. Not really the lyrics, the whole atmosphere of the recording and from where it emanated.

hm. option 1) would mean going over the same old same old - we aint gonna get any new revelations now and the answer everyone wants is not going to be answered as lets face it is semi retired

and b) well - yup, Main Man - you hit the nail on the head - 's a bloke. Which means he hogs the TV remote, has selective hearing and is either a bum or tits man. or both. which isn't very mysterious. at all. which is probably why he doesn't want to talk about himself and wanders off onto things like atom bombs or such like

I think that would never answer to some extreme personal questions (like "are you still on amphetamine?" or "how many girls have you slept with in Berlin?" or "could you still sing as loud as you did it in the past?" ), and I agree that he couldn't tell us something that he hasn't said a thousand (or maybe a million) times before.

So let him think about the new album...

how much thinking can a bloke do

in fact isn't that an oxymoron or sommit

...who would ask something like that?? Na, not interesting at all..I would ask, if he had an photo of himself just got out of bed..

Tch. Isn't one reason* we find him so, erm, interesting the fact that he does think, rather a lot?




*I was going to say the whole reason, but then I remembered who'd been posting...

No one, I hope. But he has been asked for every (really) interesting thing, so If you want to ask him something new you have to ask questions like these...


...or like this:
