healing is linear.

So, you're answering half my questions. Sorry, I'll give you that. There's no doubt it's gonna happen just like that, it's in the far future and all that, but I'm never going to let go of the skinny jeans, it's not just a phase. You weren't even going to say what there is to talk about, truth is I don't even really know what's to talk about, it's been many, many years. But yeah, I don't want to be rude, so let's talk.

I was going to say, if you say near future, I will call Rian and make him smack you upside the head kindly the next time he sees you. Clearly! But, I think it'd be weird if you ever wore regular pants. I don't know, clearly there's some tension though, no? Unless, I'm completely misreading you.

that seems to be a popular question since i don't know, a long ass time now. soooooon? is a relative term. i mean anything could be soon couldn't it? depending on how you feel about how fast or slow time goes. basically what i'm saying is you're not getting any answers out of me and i'm tap dancing around the question. there's been a few new hobbies, and as far as being under the radar, i try, but they found me in japan and germany so i'm not doing so great. i should ask taylor for tips.

damn it, and here i thought i'd get a scoop! soon is a decent enough answer though, it's definitely coming though, right? you're not just gonna hiatus and never return, i've got trust issues here. .....man, they're really good at playing where's harry, honestly.

You know what you're very good at? Not giving me answers to what I've been asking or mentioning. Are you trying to avoid certain topics with me? Don't you worry, I'm not gonna ever quit music, I think. You'll see me in a nursing home one day, wearing skinny jeans and holding onto a walking stick but still up on stage singing to everyone. Stop messing with my head, Jardine. I'm so confused. One minute you want to avert the conversation next you're making it found like I'm the one not wanting to talk but you would.

I did answer who was funnier than you, I'm not attempting to avoid any topics with you, no. Nursing home, in skinny jeans, that a nurse probably had to help you get into is a real mental image there. And I can't think of an image I wanted the least. I. I'm not attempting to mess with your head, Gaskarth. I said I'd talk about it if you wanted too. Suppose we should, before the cat and mouse game goes too far and it gets rude.

You're welcome to say anything you like, but you know some things I'm going to comment on. Third funniest guy? Who's funnier? I've dont a little podcasting before so I know this could be a thing for me, if ever I actually got sick of the whole music thing (and let's be real, that's very unlikely to happen). I am great at talking, constantly and about the most random shit. No.. no, we don't have to. Would you put it a different way though, I figured past events sums it all up pretty well.

what a pain. jordan's funnier, cameron has his days, maybe tied for second, i'm not giving cam that much credit. i think you'd need your forehead felt, if you got sick of music. That'd be such a weird experience honestly. You are great at talking, I will give you that one. Damn, and here I thought you wanted too. Duly noted, Alex.

You can't say these things and not expect me to comment on it. You can't remember.. I'm a funny guy, you gotta remember that. I think if music ever didn't work for me anymore, I'd have to look into podcasting or doing comedy. I think I could pull it off. I think both might ultimately be about the same thing, and you're avoiding either. I take it you do not want to talk about.. past events.

can't i though? ....you're the third funniest guy i know? is that better? i do think you'd be a good podcaster, you can definitely talk about anything. i think you could too, for sure. I'm never going to disagree that you're pretty good at talking Fair. If there's something you think we need to talk about, then feel free. "past events" is one way to put it though.

Your clothes usually stay on? We would all just be terrified if we messed up that badly. So no, I don't think that's ever going to happen, closing out a show with something other than Dear Maria. Hey, I'm pretty sure I've said many things way funnier than teasing you about a little cat and mouse game here. Though.. you're trying to avoide the topic now, aren't you?

you would just pick that out. as you shouldn't, for your sake and the fanbases sake, honestly. I'm sure you have, can't remember off the top of my head though at the moment. Which topic am I avoiding, Alex? the cat and mouse? the kiss me again one? am i missing one?

I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose. Sometimes it's just what you do when you get a little too comfortable around the people you're with, you leave the clothes behind. I don't think anyone would ever leave if we didn't play Dear Maria. Or leave way too early if we played it mid-set. Everyone would be so confused, including me obviously. What you don't appreciate a little comedy?

yeah, i'd imagine. i mostly just get clingy, my clothes usually stay on. I can imagine the face as you realize you placed it mid-set, turning around and looking at the others like what the fuck? Suppose it might be the funniest thing you've said.

It's true, you say your bandmates potentially forgot about clothes, my band and crew just decided against it. How funny would it be if you just made our entire setlist based off of what our top streamed songs are? We'd be missing out on so many great songs to be played live. Could make it even crazier and go in order of how many streams, least streamed up to most streamed or something like that. Ah, maybe it's a bit of both? A little Tom and Jerry moment just makes it a bit more fun, I guess?

i'd like to think my bandmates didn't just forget to wear clothes around me on purpose, personally. yours just doing it on purpose is heavily on brand. i feel like dear maria, monsters, and weightless are pretty high up there though. imagine not performing dear maria last though? that crowd would think you've lost it. suddenly i remember that you're annoying.

Yeah, we can't jump around like we used to. You don't want to imagine what I've seen. I believe there were too many times at least one person on the bus thought clothes were optional. I get it, it's easier to settle on what to play when you know what the crowd wants to hear, putting those songs on the list takes a little pressure off of you. I see, though that still gives no real reason why you tend to pretend you forget the lyrics to the song.

i'm sorry, i just laughed so hard at that. i mean spotify basically tells us the list of our most popular songs, ironically the two i expected are in the top three. i cannot tell if you're trying to make me say it or if you really enjoy the cat and mouse game.

You know what, I'm embracing it. My beard's getting a little grey on the sides, I'm living my best farm live - I had to admit I'm not 21 anymore. Oh no, I don't think you'd want to know. Consider yourself lucky you haven't witnessed all that I've seen, though I'm sure with Cam forgetting you're around you seen some shit too. So basically, you opt to play a song just so you won't piss people at your shows off? Sounds about right, actually. So why forget the lyrics? Do you just enjoy the crowd singing along for you, or is it because it's only great when you're singing it as a duet?

I mean, that's fair. Better to embrace it, no one prepares you for how much performing hurts in your 30s though. I mean, considering J is in your band, and that man is a wild one, I can only imagine what you've seen, and i'm suddenly grateful that he remembered what clothes were in front of me. I mean, we don't do that many shows, so like kinda have to give them what they want, yeah? Technically, Jordan sings it with me as a duet. It is fun to hear the crowd reaction when it starts playing though, right down to the beginning claps.

I think I'm too old for that shit. I need a bit of a comfortable night's sleep in an actual bed every now and then. Oh, you get very close to your bandmates and crew when you live on a bus together. I've seen so many things I never wanted to see over all these years of touring with essentially the same people. I can just see Jordan and you pissing everyone off, that's very on brand for you. Ah, but what does it mean you still play that song to this day? Do you just dislike the song so much you purposely "forget" the lyrics?

i love that you just proceeded to make yourself sound old as fuck with that sentence. i don't think i want to know what you've seen. sometimes cam would forget there was a girl on the bus, and just being cam. my brand is literally beanies, pissing people off and flirting with a mic in my hand. i mean, i think it's in our top 5 most known songs, i don't know if i'd get away with not playing it at this point. i don't dislike the song, at all.

But do you think that's gonna actually come close to the comfortableness of a hotel room? I doubt it. The only real fun part about sleeping on tour busses is you have your friends around 24/7. It's a blessing but also a pain sometimes. That was the thought behind it, yeah. We've done so many little changes and twiches through years of singing the songs life, it just makes sense to put out versions that we can confidently say are what All Time Low sounds like now. Well, that depends on your answer? If you're gonna tell me that's the one song you forget the lyrics to all the time, I'm gonna be questioning why that's the case.

i mean, no but it would do the job for a tour. honestly though, the amount of close bonds you form with those friends being stuck inside a moving four walls is pretty indescribable. jordan and i would annoy the others so often back in those days, because we'd just giggle constantly at stupid shit. That makes a lot of sense though, yeah. i'm afraid you're not going to like the answer to that, then.

The thing is, boys always do weird things. Throw us into a tour bus together for weeks on end, you're gonna see some stupid shit, alright. And it's just not gonna smell good. Ha, the older I get the less I appreciate tour busses for how incredibly uncomfortable and tiny the bunks are. 20 years into this band stuff, yeah. We figured it's about the best time to pull a move like Taylor Swift (though for different reasons, obviously) and redo some of our songs. Tell me, do you regularly forget lyrics to your song or is it that one specific one?

fair enough. the bunks are hell on your back, the older you get. probably should find a way to like take out the top bunk, but a decent mattress in there, maybe a tv. have a bit of room to work with. i mean, a fair comparison honestly. especially, some of the older ones, to give them a little re-work into what you do live, right? is that offense on your tone?

So whether you'll be playing yourself or no, you're just gonna be around, mingling in the crowd? Less stinky? You can't expect things (and people) to smell good when they're just living off of tour busses for a whole summer. We had a big anniversary thing happening last year, this year's supposed to be slower but I'm starting to feel that itch again. You know, when your whole body just aches to get back on stage? Nah, just curious. There were wild times during warped tour..

backstage, the crowd, the little side-sets, I wouldn't miss seeing people absolutely kill it. Don't you logic me, it's rude. But as the only girl, in a band of boys, sometimes they do really weird things. I don't miss the tour bus for the whole summer thing as much as I wish I did. Oh, yeah 20 years? Right? You guys brought out that whole ATL version stuff. I get that itch every so often. And then somehow forget all the words to kiss me again, that was a fun experience. ...Hah, you can say that again.
