Just wanted to ask what is it like to be on the road touring and being at home?
Yes we know you have a girlfriend and all but would you date a black girl who loves rock music?

I was wondering your opinion on why Shogun doesnt get as much credit as it desevres? Everyone one i ask about it either has not heard of it or just doesnt like it. This CD should be everywhere on tv and played on every radio staion and on top of every countdown. This world is bullshit, you guys made an amazing CD behond what most people can do. It has everything! Crazy Solos, riffs, arrangement, vocal catcy meledies and harmonies, and excellent production overall. I really just dont get this world, i guess i will go buy a little wayne CD like everyone else and support his weed, fancy car, and bitches habit.

You're one of the most talented guitarests I know. You've been sponsered by Dean and Gibson and you have used a 7 string guitar in two albums. I was wondering how long have you played guitar all together and how long do you spend practicing on your technique?
Thanks for many years of some the best music ever.

Trivium is one of my favorite bands. I've listened to you since I was about 15 or 16 and have loved the band since. Thus far my favorite albums are Ascendancy and Shogun, but they all are amazing. I saw you guys in Toledo, OH. I was wondering, what was it like touring with metal legends such as Iron Maiden and Annihilator?

Names Jacob big fan of the Shogun album, just wondering how did you and the band come up for all your different parts, were the drums recorded whilst jamming?

Jacob
best wishes to you and Trivium :-)
Hey whats up matt, just wondering how you came up with your ideas and thoughts on shogun its a kick ass album and yall are my favorite band also is Travis going to come back? because i like nick but travis is just amazing . also just saw yall in dallas a couple of weeks ago and at mayhem cant wait to se yall again keep rocking man!
I'm trying to start a band myself and i don't want to sound vain or out, but i can't seem to find anyone good enough to join it, i want to make it big, i consider myself a good guitarist/ Composer, did you ever have this problem if so any advice????

BTW Can't fucking wait for this new album!
I think you are an amazing musician. your colleagues also of course. how do you write yourr music? are you involved in current issues, or is it the things happening near you thats interests you? you have also written some love songs, are they meant specifically to your girlfriend or is it emotions over all? I'm very curious what influences you to write a song. I am politically involved and i love your lyrics. I wish I could ask you in person when we partied together in Malmo, Sweden, but I had unfortunately had too much vodka.=) hope you come back soon! take care. ( Tack för den musik ni ger mig. ni är bäst! )
your band is amazing, i can't wait to see the Video to Shogun because the whole album is great like the others one, i would like to know if there is a chance to buy somewhere your EP and if you will come to Poland this year for a concert as the main artist not the support to Spodek Katowice
Thanks and wish you and your band all the best and Mary X-mas
Damian (form Poland)
