1) Do you still get nervous before a gig? From Paulguy

You always have that nervous energy before walking onstage. If it goes away something isn't right!

2) My question is which song do you guys as a band enjoy performing the most? Blindman92

That's always the tough one because it changes with every crowd we play for! Our songs are like our children. Some behave better than others but sometimes they all have their special moments!

3) Do you feel that you've managed to stay true to your dreams of how you wanted your lives in BSC to be, or do you feel you've had to make any compromises bowing to media/label/social/any pressures? Bexstonecherry

I believe we are right where we need to be right now and are lucky to get to do what we want. You always have to compromise but the end result always makes it worth it.

4) I am Daniel from Argentina, and want to know what amps and distortion pedals Chris and Ben used to have that amazing sound. daniel marnetti

Ben uses peavey 6505 amps

I use budda sd45 amps

We generally don't use distortion pedals. Only a fuzz or two on some solos!!

5) What is the best gift you have recived from your fans?BlackStoneJohn

Every time we get to hear you guys sing the songs back to us and tell us the stories of how our songs have touched you. The truth is music are what feelings sound like. And to know some of you share those feelings makes it all worth it!!
