I don't recall James' own wedding being this complicated.

really really awesome..

that band is insane and I've always felt Durbin really understood music but chose to go some different ways with his knowledge and artistry than I'd prefer. but

the rtyhyms and way his vocals and the two guitars, the bass and that awesome drummer just entirely "rocked" (that is truly rock to me) against each other was something.

I'd go drive to Santa Cruz to hear that band play once and see what else they've got!

Quote:The Ustream chat with James was great, he was at home with Heidi and Hunter and they made an appearance towards the end. The webcam wouldn't work so we couldn't see him and he was ticked off about that and said it felt awkward, like he was doing a radio interview. He answered some questions about the new album, collabs, ect. and a lot of questions about music he likes and wrestling related questions. There was plenty of humour too, and I almost died laughing a few times such as:

Hunter (screaming): "I love my daddy"
James: "And I love my Hunter. You smell."

James (in answer to a question): "Hunter has sat on Santa's lap 2 times. Two different Santas."
Heidi: "The same Santa, two different locations."
Hunter: "...Two different Santas."

Oops James! LOL!

When asked if the new album will be "more metal" he said it will have more aspects of metal as he and the band are writing most of it. So glad James is going in a heavier direction, yes! He said they've recorded about 20 songs so far and that he'd like to get another 10 or 15 more done. He said he might perform on Idol again, it depends on a lot of stuff that I can't remember right now. He said he and Chris Rene talked about collaborating but that it probably won't happen soon as "too many things have to happen first." He said the one female artist he'd like to collaborate with is P!nk, saying that she's one of the few artists that retains some moral standard (not sure I agree with him but whatevs). He says he hasn't collaborated with anyone yet but that he might do so later, he doesn't know. He said it'd be sweet to tour with Greenday, that it's his dream to perform at Rock am Ring and that he'd like to do Rock on the Range again. He said he was at Pixar for both personal reasons and for business "my own personal business". Can't wait to find out more about that! He also said that he'd like to do at least one song for the WWE, and is in fact hoping to have a few songs on the new album that would be suitable for them to use. That's everything important I can think of off the top of my head, it was a fun and informative chat.

Quote:...Oh one more thing I forgot to mention, he said there'll be bonus tracks on the new album.
