[English] Interview: Jeff Stinco
Here's an interview with the guitarist Jeff Stinco!
The interview was published in the magazine FRIDA in the spring of 2008, so it wasn't me who made it. Until the day comes when I get to interview Jeff Stinco, smile and remember this:
How did you get to know each other?
We got to know each other in high school, it was 13 years ago. Now we've been on tour around the world four or five times.
You write your own songs. What are they about?
It can be everything from love songs where we sing about everything from diseases to unrequited love. Pierre wrote a song about his brother's fight against cancer. It's something that engages him alot.
How are you in the band? Are you sweet guys?
Absolutely. We're very sensetive and romantic.
How are you with your girlfriends?
I'm the only one who has a girlfriend. The other's date, but they don't have girlfriends. We travel a lot, so we need very understanding girls. I try to see my girlfriend as often as possible. I try to make sure it never goes more than three weeks between each time. I think it's very important that you're honest and talk a lot to each other.
What do you do on a day off?
I meet with friends and sometimes we have dinner. Sometimes I go out for a workout and I play a lot of music.
What do you sing in the shower?
I sing very bad, but it's something very rocky like Raine Adams or something.
What's the relationship between you and the fans?
Our fans are very different. That depends on what country we're in. The fans are completely crazy in Brazil. They wait outside the hotels and follow us on the streets. The fans from Asia are very respectful and leave us alone, but they are very intrested of us. The fans are pretty calm here in Montréal. To go on tour and be at home is the best of two worlds. I can still live a pretty normal life when I'm at home.
You played with Avril Lavigne, how was she as a person?
Really funny. I liked her, but I also thought she seemed very young. We went skateboarding together, haha!
You've been getting bad critic from the reviwers, what do you think about that?
I don't take the critic very seriously. I think it seems like most of the reviwers are frustrated musicians.
What plans do you have for 2008?
We will tour in the US and Europe. I think we're coming to Stockholm, we have a lot of fans there.
