SCANS & INTERVIEW:Love Rock nº 21 [BR]

How do you create the songs from the first idea until the end of the song?

Bill: "I think there is only one way we write our songs. It's different every time. So, at times, Tom has an idea and I have some letters, Tom has some guitar sounds ..."

How long did it take to compose songs for the new album, Humanoid?

Tom: "About a year. We were a good time touring with our old songs and new material and had to be quick to go into the studio and be creative."

Bill: "And to see what kind of music we wanted to do right now and see how each has evolved to the shows and everything else. Therefore, it was nice being there, away from the spotlight, only in the study the press without knowing what was going on, without providing information ... and I was spending time in the studio. "

Tom: "If you have time, you have the opportunity, equal, spending a week doing nothing. It is important to get out, walk, go to the studio and do nothing. Maybe a drink together, have sex or... ( laughs). do everything in the studio... You can do anything in the studio. " (Laughs)

Bill: "And Tom and I co-produced the album, the first time. It was a good experience."

Who influences the sound that you do?

Bill: "I've never had a band or an artist who influenced us in some way. I think we are very different and each one hears different sounds ..."

What inspired you to compose the songs?

Bill: "I think everything is happening. We love, we hate everything else ..."

Tom: "You have a good day, you have a bad day. Sometimes you're drunk, sometimes happy, sad. You have all this constantly in the studio and this is important for the record. Anything is inspiring."

Bill: "It was good to travel all over. We did some things in Germany, then in Los Angeles and Miami (USA), to have something more. We were not every day in the same study, so it was a good experience to try new things and have new influences. "

Are you afraid of the reactions of people when they hear the new sound of humanity?

Bill: "We try to put that aside because we focus only music. I think it's important that you enjoy your material and you're happy with it so that people love as well. If you love something, you like what you do, the People can worship in the same way. We had no pressure, just let out alone. "

Why choose Automatic as the song first job?

Bill: "I think Automatic is one of the last songs we wrote for the album. We had the idea in the car and were on our way to the study. I think it was exactly the sound and feel that we were missing on the CD. It was good power to present all the style, the album. It was a good feeling and we loved everything about this song.'s why we chose it. "

Can you do it while you are on the road?

Bill: "I think one can sometimes have ideas on the road. I believe that inspiration is everywhere and always around us. I always carry a pen and notebook. Sometimes we do some things in the tourbus. However, for this album just wanted a break in the studio, and did not want to write on the road. I really just wanted to study and nothing more. But I think, just to get some ideas, is very pleasant to travel. "

What is the best memory you have from last year (2008)? And what are the expectations for the future?

Bill: "I have to take that time in the study. It's normal to wander down the road. So we spend time with our families and it was great. And I really want to travel to other countries and play live in these places. I think is the goal. And do not expect anything. Let's see what happens. "
