Who is the lad joking in the background?

Most of it is Romeo (I'd recognize that voice anywhere LOL).

 

[meisteh]

I usually listen to/watch whatever piece of SX media is released but I had to stop this halfway through to be honest, it sounded painful.

Seems like Pinnella is always the last to know when the label or whoever does things I'm surprised he knew he filmed a couple music videos

keyboards need to chill out? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???@@? lol

I hope the next album is more prog oriented so we can hear more keyboards.

 

[proulxski]

awesome...totally awesome

"I think it has alot to do with kids who are getting tired of listening to bands who just....just can't play!"

OMFG MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD LOL

Love the guy, awesome interview and yeah sounds like Romeo and Russ chilling in the background!

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

So he likes playing Communion the most... no surprise there. What a great melodic song. I'm surprised he's cool with the more guitar-driven aspect of the new album, though.

Yeah, while I love PL I can't help but wonder how Pinnella really feels about the reduced keyboard duties. I suppose if playing the SX stuff doesn't stretch him it gives him more incentive to work on solo material.

He was kidding.

Hahaha, wow. What a shitty interviewer

The questions themselves are just ugh, what a joke. It sounds like a conversation between someone with self-esteem problems and a supermodel, it's just awkward.

You can hear how her voice is "shaking".

I know, Pinella is obviously the supermodel

I actually remember asking him to sign my ass at the Montreal show, but he refused

The girl sounded cute.

She sounded like she was a fangirl all wet for LePond

 

[Lucius Octavion]

You mean Pinnella?

I've had my coffee now, all is well.

I know her very well and she's very good at what she does.
