1. how did you start / meet each other?
well...in the beginning jordan and steve were in a band together(), ian was in a band(inner city kids), chad was singing in a hardcore band (shai hulud), and cyrus was in a band (splurge)....inner city kids (ian's band) decided to kick out the lead singer....then asked jordan to quit his band and join...he did...jordan and ian started to write songs together and soon inner city kids broke up...at the time jordan was singing and playing guitar...jordan just wanted to sing so steve was asked to join and play guitar...then a rumor was heard that chad from shai hulud wanted to start a punk band. now here it gets a bit strange....steve and jordan knew chad because of his band....ian met chad because he knew chads older brother from little league baseball and middle school....chads brother brian introduced ian and chad at a show....so chad was asked to join ian, steve, and jordan and he did....joe the original drummer was only in the band for a few shows....the cd release party for "It's All About the Girls" was cyrus's first show with the band....

6. what does ian say in "tell tale heart"?
"nacho abalaffa barnacle loofties"
7. who's that guy with the chin strap that's always on stage with you guys?
that's steve looker, our guitar tech...he's irish. "I'm mad ahh give me some munchos"
8. how did you get corey feldman in your video?
well, corey is a good friend of richard and stefanie (the people who own drive thru records), so we had met him previously through them, and we asked him to help us out...he did.
9. are you a christian band?
no...we're a rock and roll band.
10. is that steve's real phone number at the end of "nothing gold can stay"?
do you actually think that we would put his number on a CD?
11. does chad or jordan have email?
they used to, but they don't anymore. (sorry ladies)
12. why did you re-record "hit or miss"?
we all have different ways of explaining this, but basically we felt that the "nothing gold can stay" version didn't really capture all that we wanted with that song...and since we had a better studio, better equipment, and a better producer for the new album, we re-recorded that song...besides, we think that more people will probably hear this album than "nothing gold can stay", so we wanted to release a better version of that song on the new album...to find out the real truth, you should probably ask all of us at separate times...
13. can i order merchandise online?
sure!
14. are you going to tour europe/japan/australia?
hopefully...keep checking the NFG Fan Site...the dates will be posted as soon as we get them...
15. why did you drop the 'a'? was it your label that made you change it?
when our albums started to appear in stores, some of the stores would file them under 'a', while others would file them under 'n'...it was really confusing, and a lot of people couldn't find our cd because of it. also, we have always said 'NFG'...it sounds strange to say 'ANFG'. and last, but not least, when we would say our band name to people, they would reply with "huh?"...it's easier to just say "new found glory" instead of "A new found glory". the name change had nothing to do with the record label...it was a band decision.
16. Ian why did you cut your hair?
ok this question gets asked the most...the way i got my hair to stick up was by not washing it...for 4 months...it got to a point where i had to wash it....when i did it started to fall over in the front....i didn't want to put any wax in my hair so cyrus shaved it bald....i have a pattern if you have not noticed....look in the layout from "From the Screen to Your Stereo" i had the gross long hair...i cut it off...then i grew it back just like in the picture in "New Found Glory" only bleached...then i cut it off....then i grew it red which is the picture in "New Found Glory" then i cut it off....its growong back now and will soon be cut off again... i hate getting haircuts with scissors so i grow it long and then shave it bald...
17. can you send me an autographed picture or poster?
its too hard to send it to every person that asks, because we are on tour a lot. so if you bring something to our show we will sign it there...sorry
