Metro Station chat about how they make music for the kids, how you have to choose wisely who to have around you, how Trace is shy to go up and talk to girls and how they like anything edible with sugar in.

Madina Lake’s Nathan Leone discusses how they’ve incorporated fan letters into the new album artwork, how they were a little defensive the first time around, how thinking about your past or your future is a disease and how they’d rather be hated for who they are than loved for who they’re not.

Hey Monday’s Mike Gentile chats about growing up, bucking broncos, liking Bon Jovi and baby powdered snare drums.

Papa Roach’s Tobin Esperance tells us how they’ve learned so much as people, how they’ve had to figure out how they could do things better, how they’ll survive anything and how Motley Crue’s Mick Mars is a really sweet guy.

Seether’s Shaun Morgan chats about how some old school fans thought they’d sold out, how he began to appreciate music again, how no-one’s changed the world just because they’re pretty and how he respects George Michael for being in the music business for so long.

My Passion’s Laurence René talks about which day he wished had never happened, which day he was most glad to be himself, when his last great day of inspiration was and if he could spend a day with anyone who he’d most like to spend it with.

Steadlur’s Philip Steadlur tells us how he wanted to make nasty guitar sounds as a kid, how they frequently drive off and leave bandmember Daniel at the gas station, how he once woke up with toilet paper covering a big gash in his knee and how he still doesn’t know where it came from and how he’s most proud of having their debut album finally done.

Lights Resolve’s Matt Reich talks about challenges, sacrifices, criticism and how he sweats like a monkey on stage.

Theory Of A Deadman’s Tyler Connolly discusses how their hard work has paid off, how he tries to do something romantic for his wife every Christmas, how he’s been a bad boyfriend in the past and how he’d love to open his own no-kill animal shelter.

TGL’s Zack Stewart talks about how they consider their fans their friends, how he feels like he has two hometowns, how a UK tour would be a dream come true and how they’ve had some strange people in the crowd at their shows.

Heaps of concert reviews including Fall Out Boy, Jon Bon Jovi, Boys Like Girls/Metro Station/Every Avenue, Staind/Seether and Shinedown, Alkaline Trio, The All-American Rejects/Oh No Not Stereo and Rise Against/Anti-Flag.

A Q&A with Download Festival promoter Andy Copping.

Issue 59 of Black Velvet Zine is out now and includes:

Boys Like Girls’ Martin Johnson tells us what they most need, worry about, have fought for and don’t want to forget.

Anberlin’s Stephen Christian and Nathan Young discuss humanitarian work, songs that urge people to think and do something, conquering homelessness and Faceless International.

Simple Plan’s Pierre Bouvier tells us when he’s felt the most humbled, what he’s most grateful for, what he’d still most like to experience and if he’s ever wanted to quit.

The All-American Rejects’ Tyson Ritter tells us how it took a lot of effort to get ‘When The World Comes Down’ out of them, how he feels like a different person to the one he was two years ago, how their new backing singers are really rad and have great pitch and how it would be amazing to support Bon Jovi on a stadium tour in Europe.
You Me At Six’s Josh Franceschi tells us how you can tell who is the real deal, how Matt Barnes drinks excessive amounts of alcohol, how there are always going to be people who don’t like you and how he’d most like to be in Jim Adkins’ shoes.

Stone Gods’ Richie Edwards talks about how ‘Silver Spoon And Broken Bones’ will always hold a special place in his heart, how British louts have messed up beautiful places, how you’re not more of a music fan in you’re technically minded and how ignorance is bliss.

My American Heart’s Larry Soliman discusses how he shouldn’t judge anyone, how ‘Yellow’ by Coldplay is one of the greatest songs ever written, how he wishes there was a camera in their van sometimes and how he gets picked on because he listens to music no-one else in the band listens to.

The Pink Spiders’ Matt Friction chats about how being a better guitarist means he can write better songs, how they get lumped into a genre that they don’t belong to, how the band feels like the unruly stepchild that’s out of control and how the band is in some ways being taken hostage.

Oh No Not Stereo’s Sky Nielsen and Mykul Lee talk about how they sold their soul for their band, how they feel like four peas in a pod with Airin Older and Jussi Karvinen on board, how addiction can be so powerful it’s almost impossible for inspiration to change your actions and how a near death experience gave Sky new appreciation for life.

Sherwood tell us how they won’t stop until the UK and Ireland are their servants and devoted diciples, how they want to show people that there’s more variety in music, how it’s off-putting when bands get political and how Nate is very visually talented.

Underride’s Rev talks about eating glass and drinking shots, how he’s a ‘fuck-tard from Cleveland’, how they play hair metal songs to raise money for animals and how he’s going to play music until he dies – or until he gets a chrome plated cod piece.

Heaps of concert reviews including Fall Out Boy/Boys Like Girls/You Me At Six, Kill Hannah, Hanoi Rocks, Disturbed/Shinedown, Go:Audio, Less Than Jake, Army Of Freshmen, Simple Plan, Funeral For A Friend, Attack Attack and Elliot Minor/Anberlin
Tons of album, single and demo reviews including Anberlin, The Pink Spiders, Hate Gallery, Chaos Days, Reemer, Less Than Jake, P!nk, Sevendust, Underride and many more

Paramore, Tokio Hotel, Halifax, Self Against City, Sugarcult & more]]> http://blackvelvetmagazine.buzznet.com/user/journal/1188581/
 
Issue 54 of Black Velvet Zine is out now and includes:
 
Paramore tell us how they’re uncertain where the next year’s heading, how even people who look happy can feel pain, how they’ve been given everything from dolls to a scooter to a trampoline from fans, and how Jeremy’s beard is the highlight of everyone’s life.
 
Tokio Hotel’s Bill and Tom Kaulitz chat about translating songs into English, how human rights are something everyone should have, how what you see is what you get with them and Bill pleads that you don’t go and search online for their old band, Devilish.
 
Halifax’s Chris Brandt talks about bringing his best friend from childhood into the band, how you shouldn’t make bands compete, how the next Halifax album is really rockin’ and how he wants to pick the Nikki Sixx Sixx:A.M. ‘Heroin Diaries’ book up.
 
Sugarcult’s Airin Older talks about producing music outside of Sugarcult, how Darkhuevo is an ongoing recording project that changes names every time a new baby is born, how he learned to play everything from the didjeridoo to afro-cuban percussion and how he likes to take energy from the universe and transform it into something else.
 
Elliot Minor discuss how allowing unsigned bands in the charts gives everyone more of a chance, how you shouldn’t let everything out in one go, how they’re still trying to gain confidence and how they discovered an ‘Elliot Minor are gay’ video on youtube.
 
Zico Chain’s Chris Glithero and Ollie Middleton tell us how they like the fact they’ve had the balls to upset the scene a bit, how homeless guys with guns scare them, how they love chatting to fans at their merch table and how they want to be wheeled out onto the stage with a Zimmer-frame when they’re old.
 
Self Against City tell us how they’re constantly evolving, how you’ve got to have faith to succeed, how Axl Rose owned (but he doesn’t anymore) and how if you love something, there’s no need for anything else.
 
Victory Pill’s Jim Davies chats about how he wanted to make an album he had total control of, how the press scaremonger to an unbelievable level, how he’s toying with the idea of doing an instrumental guitar album and how he likes being a thorn in some people’s sides.
 
Art Of Dying’s Jonny Hetherington tells us how every day is precious, how life is dark and life is light, how they have cute Canadian accents and how they want to hear from UK people with cold beer in their fridge and a floor to crash on.
 
Page 44’s Adam Vygus tells us what makes a good member of a band, how being annoyed with a guitar teacher helped them learn to play better, how they’d settle for making a living gigging almost every day and how appearing on Popworld made them more determined than ever.

Issue 53 of Black Velvet Zine is out now and includes:
 
Good Charlotte’s Dean Butterworth tells Black Velvet how it feels to be an official member of Good Charlotte, how blown away he is by their fans, how bands that change music don’t usually set out to do that, and how Chic Coria may influence the next GC opus.
 
The Used’s Jeph Howard and Dan Whitesides chat about the band meaning everything to them, how the US is a scary place, how radioactive bullets are fucked up and Dan tells us he’s living a dream that he doesn’t want to end.
 
Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath talks about sweatshops, illegal immigration, concert volunteer work and Chris Chasse’s departure from the band (and Zack Blair’s subsequent arrival).
 
Head Automatica’s Daryl Palumbo and Jarvis Morgan Holden discuss online blogging, parental approval, their love of UK music and achieving success without being larger than life.
 
Madina Lake’s Nathan Leone tells us how he likes to hide in a song, how money and fame are the last thing on his mind, Mateo Camargo tells us how their previous bands were jealous of each other, and Dan Torelli tells us he’d rather hang a book from their fans on the wall rather than a platinum disc (although they don’t like using the word ‘fans’).
 
Kim Kline talks about everything happening for a reason, how she’d love to work with Stevie Nicks, how her parents’ support is the best feeling in the world and how record labels can calculate & formulate what they think is a hit song all day long, but it’s really the general public who’ll decide.
 
Lights.Action!’s Patrick Currier tells us how he’s wanted to make music since the age of seven, how he never judges a band until he’s seen them live, how they’re taking their time with their debut full-length release and how their aim is to be a classic rock band.
