Paul says:
i am 22 years of age
Dark says:
so have u always wanted 2 be in a band
Paul says:
not really,when i was younger i dreamed about being a policeman,then i slowly got into performing arts.i actually thought id b an actor rather than a musician
Dark says:
what made u change your mind
Paul says:
i think it was when i first heard korn in 1996
never heard music like it really
i was into bands like guns and roses and extreme when i was younger,but korns first album was very influencial for me
Dark says:
and how old was u when u started 2 sing and write songs
Paul says:
i can always remember singing the hits from disney movies at christmas parties for the family,or doing michael jackson shows for my parents
but actually writing songs i was about 16
Dark says:
wow cool
Paul says:
they were typical anti girlfriend teenage angst songs,bit embarrasing to look back on
Dark says:
so who thought of the name......
make her cry and y
Paul says:
well thats quite a funny story
because we were searching for a name for about three months
Dark says:
yea
Paul says:
and the guitarist lee gave me a phonecall from out of the blue saying
'what about make her cry'
Paul says:
and theat day i was having the same kind of thoughts
Paul says:
that*
Dark says:
wow freaky
Paul says:
i think it was virtually the same name
Dark says:
ment 2 be then
Paul says:
fate,as they say
Dark says:
how did u meet the rest of the band........and how and when did u form
Paul says:
well they were part of the music scene b4,we have all been in yo!vil bands
Paul says:
so we were friends for a while
Paul says:
with the same music tastes
Dark says:

Paul says:
its good that we were friends b4,so we knew how to take criticism
Dark says:

Pauls says:
well,to play it would have to be 'childs art of screaming',mainly because it doesnt have much to do with the typical issues
Paul says:
i.e-girlfriends
Paul says:
its about school
Dark says:
thats going back 2 your youth then
Paul says:
definately,because to be honest i had a good life at school,i had very little enemies if any,but my friends did
Paul says:

Paul says:
it was alot harder to be excepted for loving heavier music back in the 90's
