I missed a little bit of this, but from the answer I'm sure you can figure out the question. OrgyLive: Amir: We were going to do some sort OrgyLive: of cover song, and we tried a few things, but OrgyLive: We had no idea it was going to be a big OrgyLive: hit. OrgyLive: Paige: It was never attended to be what it OrgyLive: became. Question: Was there more pressure to create a successful second album? OrgyLive: Amir: Actually, no. OrgyLive: We didn't feel there was a lot of pressure. OrgyLive: We feel everyone else probably thought there OrgyLive: was more pressure, rather than us. We actually OrgyLive: had a lot of fun making this record, and we OrgyLive: had more time to do it. We didn't realize OrgyLive: any of that until we were done with the record -- that OrgyLive: it was important that the record turned out OrgyLive: good. Question: In what ways has your music grown or changed since your first album? OrgyLive: Paige: I think it's matured a lot more, from OrgyLive: all of us being around each other on the OrgyLive: road, we've gotten a lot more tighter as a OrgyLive: band. OrgyLive: Amir: Our first record was more of an expiriment, OrgyLive: with this one we have more of an idea of OrgyLive: what we want to do, we have more of a OrgyLive: direction. Question: Whose idea was it to wear make-up, and why do you do it? OrgyLive: Paige: There's no concept behind it. Since OrgyLive: I've been in my first bands, I've always worn OrgyLive: makeup. Jay has as well. Everyone has OrgyLive: pretty much always been down with making OrgyLive: more of a show, which means making that OrgyLive: part of our concept. Question: Who is your most unusual musical inspiration? RunTs RuLe: (2) steph.... OrgyLive: Paige: Probably drums, bass, and electronical OrgyLive: sounds like that -- anything with different OrgyLive: sounds has been a big inspiration. Stuff OrgyLive: that doesn't sound like the norm. Question: How the group get their first record deal? OrgyLive: Bobby: Jay and Ryan wrote some stuff, OrgyLive: and soon after that people from the firm got OrgyLive: very interested. At the same time, Korn, which OrgyLive: was with the firm also, were putting together OrgyLive: a record company and they were completely OrgyLive: interested. Then, everything just seemed OrgyLive: to fall in place. Next thing we knew, we were OrgyLive: up in Tahoe recording our record. Question: What inspired the song "Eva"? OrgyLive: Amir: "Eva" was Josh, our producer's, mom. When OrgyLive: we first started recording, we used to record in what OrgyLive: we called Josh's garage. All of us used to work there OrgyLive: in Josh's, or Eva's, garage. She was really nice OrgyLive: but she was always really sick. She passed away OrgyLive: about a year ago. So, we had this song OrgyLive: and it just sort of fell together with what OrgyLive: had happened, and Jay wrote it through OrgyLive: Josh's prospective. Question: I was just wondering who are the bands each of you look up to? OrgyLive: Amir: Definitely Korn. It's way up there. OrgyLive: There are a lot of bands. OrgyLive: Paige: Tear, Korn. For me a lot of early OrgyLive: Metallica, believe it or not -- they were a OrgyLive: big inspiration. Question: How did you meet and decide to form a band? OrgyLive: Amir: We all met through Jay, we're all OrgyLive: mutual friends. We met Ryan through Korn, OrgyLive: we've known him the least amount of time. OrgyLive: We all met through Jay -- hanging out, partying, OrgyLive: going to shows. Question: Where did you come up with the CD name "Vapor Transmission"? OrgyLive: Paige: When we were recording the album, OrgyLive: Jay had a lot of scattered stuff written down. OrgyLive: When it came down to it, at the last minute, OrgyLive: when we needed a title and we didn't have OrgyLive: one, Jay just said call it "Vapor Transmission." OrgyLive: Amir: We thought it sounded cool. Obviously OrgyLive: it can have many different meanings, but OrgyLive: whatever. Question: First I would like to say the new Album is incredible, My question is Question: with the new CD you guys have showed that you are more complex music Question: wise than most people predicted, do you feel that new CD is a better Question: reflection of the music you listen to? AOLiveMC15: In the song "Where's Gerrold," who is Gerrold? OrgyLive: Amir: It's more focused. It's a little more OrgyLive: where we probably should have been on OrgyLive: the first record. OrgyLive: Paige: Gerrold is a friend of ours who lives OrgyLive: in New Orleans. He's someone we've met OrgyLive: on the road, and hung out with. He's pretty OrgyLive: cool. You never know where he's at, and OrgyLive: he will just pop up in the most random OrgyLive: places. We haven't seen him in a long time, OrgyLive: and then all of a sudden he's on a Madonna OrgyLive: video -- so, where is Gerrold? Question: Which song on the album took the longest to complete? OrgyLive: Amir: Probably "Fiction." OrgyLive: Bobby: Probably "Eva" probably, because OrgyLive: we started it before our first record. So -- it OrgyLive: would probably be "Eva." Question: what type of hardware do you use to get that techno sound? OrgyLive: Amir: We use everything piece of material OrgyLive: that is out there. Anything that will make OrgyLive: noise, we have it. OrgyLive: Paige: We have anything that can make OrgyLive: crazy sounds. So that's kind of hard to OrgyLive: pinpoint. Question: What do you guys think of Napster? OrgyLive: Paige: Good for them. It doesn't matter. OrgyLive: At first I think everybody was scared about OrgyLive: it before they knew much about it. Once you OrgyLive: figure out that everyone on Napster has OrgyLive: had the biggest debuts ever, you find it really OrgyLive: doesn't hurt. So, whatever. Question: Where do most of your inspirations for your songs come from? OrgyLive: Paige: Probably everyday life, and whatever OrgyLive: happens to you during the day, or in clubs, OrgyLive: I don't know -- life in general. Question: Do you guys have a website? OrgyLive: Paige: Yeah -- http://www.vaportransmissions.com OrgyLive: is the one we put together, and www.orgymusic.com OrgyLive: as well. Question: What do you guys think about the future of music and the Internet as Question: a means of distributing or purchasing CD's? OrgyLive: Amir: I think it's definitely going to happen. OrgyLive: Bobby: There's definitely a lot more kids OrgyLive: around the world that can purchase a record OrgyLive: the probably wouldn't get in the stores. OrgyLive: Amir: We think it's a good thing, but we OrgyLive: don't think it's going to take over soon. It OrgyLive: always takes time to make a big technology OrgyLive: change-over. Question: What's going on with the whole farmclub performance? OrgyLive: Paige: We're going to play a couple of OrgyLive: songs, I guess. OrgyLive: Bobby: A lot of the times for all of these OrgyLive: things we don't know until the last minute. OrgyLive: So, we're going to play a couple of songs. OrgyLive: I think we play it on Monday. Question: How hard is it to keep up with relationships/family situations while Question: being on the road? OrgyLive: Paige: It's actually really hard. OrgyLive: It's definitely hard at times, but it's cool OrgyLive: because you can have your girlfriend hangout OrgyLive: with you at times. But, there are some OrgyLive: hard times. Question: How and why did you choose "Orgy" your name? OrgyLive: Paige: Because it sounded cool. OrgyLive: Amir: It's the only name we'd ever consider. OrgyLive: Paige: We never even had a backup. Plus, OrgyLive: we figured people wouldn't forget it that OrgyLive: easy. Question: What do you do on a typical day? What do you do when youre not doing Question: anything Orgy related? OrgyLive: Paige: Everything is always Orgy related. OrgyLive: Amir: We actually kind of do it a lot. But, OrgyLive: we go to movies, we're normal people. We OrgyLive: like to play with gadgets, clothes. OrgyLive: We just like to go out. OrgyLive: Paige: Shopping is always an option. Question: When is the next music video coming out? OrgyLive: Amir: Hopefully in January, but we'll see. OrgyLive: We're shooting for early next year. OrgyLive: Paige: We're in the process of doing the OrgyLive: storyboards for it right now, but it's already OrgyLive: kind of behind schedule. Question: hi! Is there anyone you would like to work with, that you haven't yet? OrgyLive: Amir: Deisel Boy. AOLiveMC6: Here is one for Paige... Question: Paige, I think your the hottest guy in the band. How do you get your Question: hair to stick up like that, without it looking hard and crappy? OrgyLive: Paige: I just wrap the heck out of it, and OrgyLive: spray it with hairspray. I hold pieces up OrgyLive: until it takes shape. I chop it with a razor OrgyLive: all of the time, so it has that crazy shape Question: do you guys feel you make the music for fame and fortune or for Question: releasing emotion and having fun? OrgyLive: Paige: It's totally just for like -- doing music. OrgyLive: We like everything about it. The fame and OrgyLive: fortune part comes if people enjoy it. If they OrgyLive: enjoy it you get fame and fortune. Question: Orgy, what's the most interesting city in which you've performed? OrgyLive: Paige: There are so many places, that's OrgyLive: such a hard question. OrgyLive: Amir: We have fun everywhere, it's rare OrgyLive: Paige: It's hard to say. I think definitely when OrgyLive: we're away from LA is a good show. Pretty OrgyLive: much anywhere but LA. Question: i loved your Blue Monday cover...any other resurected tunes coming Question: our way? OrgyLive: Paige: Maybe. OrgyLive: Amir: I'm sure we'll cover some at some point. OrgyLive: I don't know when, or what, though. You OrgyLive: never know. Question: With all your fame, do you ever get annoyed when fans approach you on Question: the streets or wherever you are?
