they are amazing!

I love the idea, and the Jonny pic is hawt

NumbersGirl · 01-04-2010, 04:09 PM

This is so hilarious! One of the better April Fool's pranks I've seen in a long time. I love the "price", and also how they took the time to make a sold out item page on the online retail store.

The only bad part is... my ears are ringing from the intense squealing of all the Jonny fangirls across the world.

Chris has got a little project for #42

I've talked before about differences between what I've experienced when touring with the band and work here at the studio. Mostly, it's the fact that you're not sure what's coming next. Touring is fairly repetitive; the scenery changes a great deal, but the daily routine is pretty much set in stone.

Here in the studio, it isn't like that. As you'd expect with a process led by the creative mind, there is a lot of jumping from one thing to another. It's difficult, if not impossible to anticipate what's coming next and what you'll be asked for.

It shouldn't really come as any surprise then, that within an hour of my first day back after South America, Chris comes up to me with the following: "I've got a little project for you". "I'm not sure whether to be excited or terrified", I reply.

"I'd like you to build a solar system..."

Oh well, I guess we're officially back now....

Italian Plastic · 02-04-2010, 09:00 AM

I immediately thought of the Viva balls when he said solar system

kjones31 · 02-04-2010, 09:03 AM

I think someone has been drinking far too many dr. Peppers!

oh Chris what will he think of next!

fouza · 02-04-2010, 09:05 AM

They're going to do something amazing like always

imabityellow · 02-04-2010, 09:06 AM

I might be totally wrong, but anyway... maybe the solar system is going to be on the next album cover?

a-chan · 02-04-2010, 09:12 AM

inengsol1500 · 02-04-2010, 09:19 AM
