What is the best live gig you have ever been to?

Opeth, Audioslave, Pantera, Muse, Showgirls

Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?

If I wanted to see myself in five years, I'd probably give me a call, see if I was keen to meet up for lunch, say 1 ish, go to a time travel bar, kind of like them oxygen bars they got now, and yeah, meet there.

How do you keep in contact with your fans?

Sometimes I use a stick to prod at the different settings, my favorite being 3 as it is the fastest.
