лиссиччка Оригинальное сообщениеИНЬЮ ПАТРИКА НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ...
Настроение сейчас - ХОРООООШЕЕобещала интервью, которое не помню, где взяла... оно на английском. читайте, кто читает. остальным не знаю, что предложить... я перевод выкладывать не буду. его набирать надо. я на ето не способна. сами знаете, мои посты красноречием не блещут...
Интер Патрика!!! Kent: To start off, could you say your name and what you do in Fall Out Boy.
Patrick: My name is Patrick, and I sing and play guitar and other stuff in Fall Out Boy.
Kent: Since it’s just you, could you tell me who the other guys are and describe them with one word?
Patrick: Alright, uh Andy plays drums, and he’s meticulous in everything that he does…
Kent: Damn, I’m not going to be able to spell that.
Patrick: Me-tic-u-lous (laughter). Joe plays guitar, and he’s just a hang out guy, kinda. That’s the best way I can think of describing it. Pete plays bass and screams a bunch, and he’s the man about town (laughter).
Kent: So how long has Fall Out Boy been together?
Patrick: Well I was figuring it out the other day, probably about 4 years now, since my junior year of high school.
Kent: What were you guys doing before Fall Out Boy went full time?
Patrick: I was doing high school, and I was working at a record store and at a cafй at Borders. Everybody else was doing a little bit of college and other bands. Well there’s a little overlap too where everyone did a semester of college before we went on tour. Except for me, I just saved up for tour.
Kent: How did you guys originally get hooked up with Fueled By Ramen?
Patrick: Well, Fueled By Ramen was one of those things that it was all internet stuff basically. Getting signed is funny because when someone’s looking at you, everyone starts looking at you, and they want to edge out the other guy. So there was a lot of that going on so there was a lot of labels talking to us. Oddly enough a friend of ours told them about us, so they were unrelated to all the hype or whatever. They offered us the best deal from the best people basically. I mean we really didn’t want to go with someone we didn’t want to work with basically, because there’s a lot of interpersonal stuff that you gotta deal with when you’re signing. So it was really easy, they came up and we were like hey. That wasn’t really an answer.
Kent: Do you know how many copies “Take This To Your Grave” has sold?
Patrick: I think…
Kent: Last I heard was about 150 thousand, but that was a little while ago.
Patrick: Yeah I think it’s about 200 hundred thousand, which is beyond… well let me put it this way: it’s more than we thought it would. We seriously thought it would sell a tenth of that and we were excited about it, that was like our goal. For it to have sold as much as it has isn’t a big concern for us, were not in this for glory or anything like that. Its just pretty cool, a nice little side thing to say “oh yeah, you did that, that’s awesome”.
Kent: So what has been the best moment for you in Fall Out Boy so far?
Patrick: Best moment, wow. We played Skate and Surf Fest last year…
Sara (my girlfriend): I heard you guys did so good, my friend was there.
Patrick: I don’t, I don’t know if we…
Sara: Didn’t the fire alarm go off or something?
Patrick: Basically, its weird because we were playing the middle stage, and there's like 2 stages on either side, and then there’s this open room that’s supposed to be the hall way between stages. We were playing on the stage that’s in that room, and something happened where it wasn’t a fire alarm, someone in the backstage on the main stage had pulled a fire extinguisher so there’s all this smoke billowing out on the stage so everyone thinks there’s a fire. So everyone floods into our room, and then they lock the doors. The room that we’re playing is at capacity, just packed, its just full of people. So we’re like “ah crap we gotta play now”. So we played, and it was awesome because well that wasn’t really what I thought was cool, it was kinda incidental and I was glad no one was hurt, and it wasn’t an actual fire and that it wasn’t as hectic as it could have been. But it was awesome because the place… so this is no secret but every band doesn’t like the song that everyone likes. They grow to hate it, its just one of those things. We were playing “Grand Theft Autumn” and there were honestly 5,000 people there or something, and it wasn’t all of them obviously, but there was a pretty strong percentage singing a long. It was one of those moments that I was like “that’s pretty cool I guess”, its better then working at Borders.
Kent: Yeah definitely.
Kent: To contrast that, what would you say the worst moment of Fall Out Boy has been?
Patrick: You know, its hard to say. It depends on what you mean, because there are so many different elements. One of my least favorite moments, the one that’s just popping up in most recent history is a girl in Dallas,
