My Interview with the Members of Bleach

(This is not everything that was said. It is only a portion of what was taped. If it was everything, that was taped, it would be long. And it was everything I've ever talked to them about, the page would take an hour to load.)

10.12.00- After the JQP/Bleach/Skillet Show. . .
Dave ~ Matt & Milam ~ Sam ~ Jerry


Dave Baysinger: Wazzup?
Nate Hixson: I'm here with Dave of Bleach. Do you have any pets?
DB: Yes I do, but actually my pets just keep dying off. We live next to a busy street. I think 3 or 4 of them have been hit in the last 6 months. We got three cats left. All the rest of them are dead.
NH: How do you like your coffee?
DB: I like my coffee...actually, I like lattés. Those are my favorite man. So I like espressos with milk.
NH: What's your favorite football team?
DB: Football team?
NH: Or basketball, whatever.
DB: Basketball is my favorite, man. I'm from Indiana so I have to like basketball, man. My favorite college team would have to be the Indiana Hoosiers and pro team is the Pacers.
NH: So what do you think about the Bobby Knight thing?
DB: Bobby Knight is a little crazy. I don't know what to think about him, man. He's a good coach. He has a good record and all his kids graduate best grades in the country pretty much, but he's definately got too much of a temper. I think it's probably good.
NH: Thank you.

NH: I'm here with a couple guys from Bleach. Can y'all say your name? (I can't believe I said "y'all", but oh well)
Matt Gingrich: Hi! I'm Matt.
Milam Byers: Milam.
NH: Do you guys have any pets?
MB: Yep! I have the best pet in the world. I have one dog named Winston.
MG: Psycho
MB: Yeah, he's a little psycho...unstable. I have a cat named Chester.
MG: I have no pets. I have Jerry, our bass player. He lives with me. Sometimes I clean up after and stuff it's similar.
NH: Is he 14 or 20?
MG: I can't reveal that. That's a secret. You'll have to do some research and find out.
NH: What's your guys' favorite football team?
MG: I like college football. I'm a buckeye. I grew up in Ohio, so it's Ohio State Buckeyes. And basketball, I like the Celtics.
MB: I live near Atlanta so I like the Atlanta teams. College is Clemson Tigers all the way.
NH: Who's the first concert you guys went to?
MB: Stryper-1987
MG: I think my first concert was probably Petra. But I don't even remember when that was-a long time ago.

SB: The Colts and the Pacers man. I'm a Hoosier, so I have to like those guys.
NH: What was the first concert you went to?
SB: It was probably Petra.
NH: If I go Monday, will you let me on stage?

NH: I'm here with Jerry of Bleach. Do you have any pets?
Jerry: No, I don't have any pets right now. I can't really have them at my apartment.
NH: I want to let you know that Matt claimed you as a pet. (I'm a little trouble-maker, eh?)
J: Is that so? Well, I'm about to claim Matt as a pet right now. All he does is lay around all the time and I have to feed him.
NH: That's what he said. Well, he said he has to clean up after you.
J: Well, I ain't ever there.
NH: Are you 14 or 20?
J: *laughs* That's a common misconception, mostly due in part to the Bleach guys, telling people I'm 14 on stage. Actually, I'm 21.
NH: What was the first concert you went to?
J: First concert. Holy Moly! To be honest with you, when I really young, I went to an Alabama concert with my mom. The first significant concert that I went to was Seven Day Jesus, they're from my hometown, and a band called Chum I think played at the same thing. I was blown away.
NH: What's your favorite sports team?
J: Like what sport?
NH: It doesn't matter.
J: If you talk about college football, it's Marshall University. That's where I went, that's where I grew up. If you get up into pro football, I like the Minnesota Vikings. I don't really have a favorite team. I like anybody. I'm a casual fan.
