Yahoomc: alright enough wasting time -- here's matchbox20!!!

matchbox20_live: Rob: I know. I rule everything. I'm the king of the world!!!!
jcrunkgrl asks: Whats it like being so popular with the teenage girls?
matchbox20_live: Rob: It's great! They give me cool presents. I sell all the Beanie Babies I get and make a cool fortune on it. Most of my money comes from my on-the-side Beanie Baby business. Soon I'll be richer than Bill Gates. And twice as fine. All the girls tell me I am fine. I am DAMN fine, aren't I?
LoLojc8876 asks: When are you touring and who is touring with you?
matchbox20_live: Adam: We are gonna start touring in ten years. We want to make you all wait forever! We also want to see if we lose any of our popularity. We are a very experimental band.
duckbeat asks: I'm in a working band, and it seems to me that when trying to figure out "push" and "3am", the guitars are tuned low... but not down to d. Where do you tune and why?
matchbox20_live: Adam: Huh? What's a guitar?
Princesse_BROK asks: do your friends treat you differently now that your so famous?
matchbox20_live: Rob: Yes. I made them all become my servants. They give me weekly manicures and hair trimmings. They love it too!
matchbox20_live: Adam: I have people coming to my house claiming to be my friends. I don't think they are, but since I am so nice and trusting I let them in and give them homemade cookies. Then usually I find something missing later, like a crystal glass or a television set. I'm sure I just misplaced them though.
LuvinAdamMb20 asks: Adam? Do you enjoy it when people call you sillypants? (mischevious smile)
matchbox20_live: Adam: Oh yes. It's much fun. It makes me melt when someone calls me that.

Princesse_BROK asks: did you ever get detention in school? and why?

mike_0212 asks: Rob, whats your reaction to Stephen Jenkins (3rd eye) going off on your band in RS magazine?
matchbox20_live: Rob: He will meet his revenge soon ::glances at watch:: Just wait.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Rob is making his computer debut with his webpage, "Why Stephen Jenkins is a Big Meanie Poo" It's snappy!
Ariana98_98 asks: What is your favorite food?
matchbox20_live: Rob: I don't really care, as long as I can take it forcibly away from Paul. I like to annoy him that way.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Paul has been getting very skinny lately.
matchbox20_live: Rob: He hasn't been eating much.
cab928 asks: where are kyle, paul and bryan?
matchbox20_live: Adam: Well, for one thing, it's Brian. B R I A N. Um, last time I checked, they had joined up with a traveling circus. I think that Kyle was a lion tamer...or maybe he was the lion...Paul was a tightrope walker, and Brian was one of dem guys who rides on an elephant on his head.
Guppy_da_fish asks: Who are your biggest influences, and how did you start out??
matchbox20_live: Adam: My biggest influence was defintely John Travolta. That guy could shake his groove thing!
matchbox20_live: Rob: My biggest influence is and always will be Milli Vanilli. They had dance moves that were right on, and you have got to love those short pants they wore!
matchbox20_live: Adam: We started out as a group that did New Kids on the Block covers. When we realized that wasn't working out, we started writing our own stuff.
Back2Blah asks: Adam do you have any embarassing moments on stage?
matchbox20_live: Adam: So, so many I can't even count. Like the time I was bopping around, lost in my own world, when I bumped into Rob and knocked him offstage, right onto an obsessed girl. It was tough, man. It took five hours to pry them apart.
matchbox20_live: Rob: It wasn't fun. That girl had a grip of steel.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Sorry Rob.
matchbox20_live: Rob: It's cool Adam.
gregseguin asks: how long did you have to play in like clubs and stuff untill you became really popular?

Ariana98_98 asks: Where is the best place to rehearse besides the studio?

Dont_Let_Me_Down_Kyle asks: Where can I send adam some baby heads?
matchbox20_live: Adam: I don't need any more baby heads. I enjoy making out with the ones I have.
jason_7455 asks: If the Smurfs and Snorks were to get in an all out war....who would win?
matchbox20_live: Rob: Very good question. I' ve always been suspicious about the Smurfs. Why are they so blue? But, what are these alleged "Snorks?" I can't answer this. I'm handing it over to Adam. I need to go out for a smoke.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Well, since I majored in Snorkology in college, I can defintely say that they would win. With their guerilla tactics, they would comepletely catch the peaceful, fun-loving Smurfs off guard. I don't even think the Smurfs have a standing army, just in case of these
kind of situations. They are soo not prepared for anything that could happen, be it a hawk attack or a war with the Snorks. Hmm..I know the
cheif Smurf personally. I should tell him he needs to build up his defenses.
matchbox20_live: Rob: I'm back. If anyone cares. But you all do. I know
it. ::head swells some more::
Nautica_girl6 asks: what is the song titled "push" specifically about?

be?

matchbox20_live: Adam: Nice!
matchbox20_live: Rob: Or a professional hair stylist.
matchbox20_live: Adam: That's interesting Rob, I didn't know you had an
interest in that. Hey, does my haircut flatter my face?
matchbox20_live: Rob: Oh yes Adam, it's much better than what you had
before.
matchbox20_live: Adam: I wanted to look like Richard Simmons, but I
also
had problems with getting into tight exercise outfits and galloping
around and screaming, "I'm a pony! I'm a pony!"
matchbox20_live: Rob: Remember Adam, you did try that once. I'm glad I
got it on tape. It'll be very useful someday.
matchbox20_live: Adam: You taped that?! Oh no...
guy_in_khakis_1 asks: What's up with the camel in the bowling alley??
matchbox20_live: Rob: That wasn't a camel. It was actually my brother.
He really wanted to be in the video. Why, did it look like a camel? He
has an overabundance of body hair. He should really see the doctor
about that.
ladylove_41 asks: whats the most extreme thing a fan has done to get
your guys attention?
matchbox20_live: Rob: There was that crazy girl with the Koosh shooter.
matchbox20_live: Adam: No, no it was two girls. They shot Kooshes at us
from the second row. One of them hit Rob in the face.
matchbox20_live: Rob: Yeah, and then I took it and flung it back at the
girls. I bet they weren't expecting THAT!
Princesse_BROK asks: If you could take 3 things to a deserted island
what would it be?
matchbox20_live: Adam: Oh this is good! Um, I would take my baby heads,
'cause you know...I need those. Annnddd I would probably take Kyle, so
he could climb the trees and get food for me. Then I would take a
computer. I like computers.
matchbox20_live: Rob: Adam, man, you can't use a computer without a
plug.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Oh, right. Fudge.
lila_6581 asks: What warm-up and vocal exercises do you do before a
performance?
matchbox20_live: I drink warm beer. That warms me up.
matchbox20_live: Rob: Then I shake my groove thing around to make sure
I still got phat moves. Then I wiggle my finger to loosen that up.
grlgibson20 asks: i heard kyle and paul have contributed songs to the
album. Will they also be singing them?
matchbox20_live: Rob: Paul is going to rap his entire song. He's a mad
rapper!
matchbox20_live: Adam: He knows how to kick it.
matchbox20_live: Rob: And Kyle is gonna sing a song entirely in a first
soprano voice. He sounds like a girl! It's really funny.
dustykim asks: Can you eat 10 Cheeseburgers when it is 50cent

are their names? Uh...Oh yeah, The Downtown Boyz. How cool are we.

old demographic.

gap_ak asks: So where do you guys think you will be in ten years?
matchbox20_live: Rob: Singing backup for the Spice Girls.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Paul would enjoy that.
pRaider77 asks: Rob are you going to try and play at woodstock at all?
matchbox20_live: Rob: Yeah, we are gonna dig an underground tunnel and
sneak in and see if we can get onstage. Then I'm gonna stage dive and
sing while being passed around the audience on my back.
matchbox20_live: Adam: Oh that sounds like fun! I wanna do that too.
PhooFiter asks: Are you going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo tonight?
matchbox20_live: Rob: I'm sorry, I don't speak French, what does that mean?
matchbox20_live: Adam: Rob, that's Spanish..
matchbox20_live: Rob: Oh. What does it mean?
matchbox20_live: Adam: It's May fifth, when the Mexicans gained their independence. It's a time of great joy for the Mexicans, and great parties for anyone who just wants an excuse to get drunk.

PhooFiter asks: What is your favorite song to play live?
matchbox20_live: Rob: The song that doesn't end. After about three hours of it, people start throwing things on stage, like money and other stuff.

matchbox20_live: Rob: ...but they'll continue singing it forever just because....this is the song that doesn't end...

matchbox20_live: Rob: Well darn it to heck.
Teresad3 asks: Hey guys, if you could be a superhero (like in
realworld) who would it be and why??
matchbox20_live: Rob: Um..I'd be Paul. He's my hero.
matchbox20_live: Adam: I'd be Joey. He's everything I wish I was.
matchbox20_live: Rob: Paul's better than Joey.
matchbox20_live: Adam: No he's not! ::runs away, crying hysterically, then comes back a few minutes later::
shock65 asks: What movie do you watch most on the road???
matchbox20_live: Rob: Um, I don't watch movies. I don't watch TV. Didn't you know those were just the medians used by the government to convey subliminal messages?! I mean, oh my God, I am NOT about to go down like THAT! NO WAY MAN! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!!
matchbox20_live: Adam: Rob, calm down, you look a little bloated.

MikeD9786 asks: How was your day?
matchbox20_live: Adam: It was OK. I mean I got up at six, didn't even go anywhere until ten, went out to the grocery store to pick up a few necessities, then let's see..I went to the bank to get a new checkbook of that design, you know, "Stills from Steamboat Willie" where they have that cartoon in the background..and then I went to this video store..um..it was called "Rent Adult Movies Here," and I rented a movie...then I went home and watched it..good stuff. Then someone came over to my house. They said they were my cousin, but I don't know about that now. Then I went to make myself a microwavable dinner, but I found that my mircowave was gone. Odd. But then someone else came to my house and told me I had to come with them. I did, and that's how I ended up here.

So I blew something up...the bus...but really..I mean, that wasn't really my fault...I mean, yeah, I'll take the heat for stealing the bus, but I certainly didn't mean to make it explode! ::sniff::
celticangel_99 asks: Is there any hostility between the band members about the attention that Rob gets?
