Gym Class Heroes chat to I Like Music

TRAVIS: Yeah it is.

ILM: Your not followers and don't play music that fits in with a particular genre or group or fad. You're original. That's important to you right?

TRAVIS: I think origninaly equals longevity, but flash in the pan shit that's working for the moment, it has a shelf life. Once it's over with you'd have to switch roles again and catch up. I'd never want to be part of a rat race where I'd be trying to catch up with the times. We're past that, we do what we do. It's sad, I've had friends in certain bands who could be doing something good and then they pick up on something else working and try that and it can be career suicide.

Don't draw yourself in to a corner, especially on the underground hip hop scene they build up a glass ceiling over their careers by saying they're so independent and so underground, but once they can't break out of it they get bitter, but it's nobody's fault but their own. Not just underground hip hop, but in any scene. If you're stuck into one equation and you put yourself in that situation you'd get pissed that you can't break out of it. I would never just want to be stuck in a certain category.

ILM: You wooed a girl over Myspace according to your track, New Friend Request. Are you still in touch? Did you meet?

TRAVIS: Yeah, sort of. I've noticed a lot of the time people don't really put their true selves up on MySpace, which makes sense, but they build this façade and it's really decieving and, I get it, I mean you can take a photo from an angle to make you look sexier, but not only aesthetics, but personality wise, you can put up what you want people to believe you are. And that was the situation I kind of fell for.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 >>
