Two questions here, one from a musician standpoint and one from an RBN author standpoint.

1. Do you guys write your material consciously (i.e., "I've been thinking a lot about x lately, I'm gonna write about it") or do you just noodle around and ramble until things start to click?

2. Do you/would you recommend other bands get in on RBN/DLC in general, and if so, do you feel like one or the other has been "better" for you as a band?

This is kind of 2 questions on 1 subject:

I love your 3rd album Up In The Attic. However, the time i saw you live, not a single song was played off of it. So hoping with you coming to RBN, we might see some of those songs, but sadly, still nothing. Do you guys like the album, or did i just have bad luck? (I saw you at Bamboozle back in 2008)

Leading in to that, would you guys consider bringing stuff like "Bad Morning" or "Forgive And Forget" to RBN at some point as well. I love the album almost as much as TruAnt and as much as ANThology, and i feel like it deserves a better chance out there.

1. Will we be seeing anything from Up In The Attic released on to Rock Band Network, like Bad Morning and San Sebastian?
2. Will we be seeing a new album from you guys any time soon and/or a new tour?

Hey guys! I would like to ask about your taste in music, what bands do you hear, and which inspires you the most.

Have you ever considered switching to a different authoring group after the whole "Movies Vocal Chart Scandal"?

"Courage" & "Glow" in RBN, and "Smooth Criminal" as DLC.

You make it sound as if the RBN songs are not DLC.

1) When will we see more songs on the RBN from you guys? What would you like to see released to the RBN?

2) How is it being on stage with a back injury from the bus accident? Any problems, or good as new?

Hey AAF, first off, just want to say that you guys are one of the best rock bands ever and that you should totally get more songs put on the RBN. I was super hyped when I saw movies was up, only to be dissapointed I couldn't buy it (heard the vocal track was messed up).

My question would be what exactly do you guys think composes a good song, and what exactly do you guys go out to do when making an album. Do you usually try to improve what you did in the previous album, or do you try to go out and do something entirely different and start off fresh?

Also, if you could pick one band to play side by side with, which one would it be?
