Billy Talent Talks About My Chemical Romance!
Billy Talent performed at the Fillmore Auditorium last week and did not disappoint fans. Together for more than a decade, the Canadian four-member band has developed into a melodic punk rock force. Billy Talent is known for its ability to command the stage and maintain a humble attitude as well. After the release of two international multi-platinumelling records and touring nonstop for more than a year, Billy Talent finally had a chance to come back to North America to work on a new album. That is, until called with a special request. Currently touring across the country with My Chemical Romance, Billy Talent was in town and lead singer Ben Kowalewicz sat down to discuss the tour and the upcoming album.

How have you been? How is the tour going so far?

BK: I've been great. We've been great. It's been weird because we were home for about six months, writing the next record and everything was going good, then we got the call. "My Chem want you to open for them!" and we can't say no 'cause they are such great guys and that's lots of humans that we'd be playing in front of every night. We're halfway through the tour now and it's been amazing, amazing, amazing. Shows have been great, people have been great.

Did you know My Chemical Romance before this tour?

BK: We met them in the summer. We were doing festivals in Europe and they were there and we bumped paths. They were in Finland when we were thereand they called us up that morning and asked us if we wanted to play with them. So we went and played and forged this relationship with them. They are really sweet and very nice to us, so, yeah, it's a good mix.

So what do you do on the road for fun?

BK: Well My Chem has a road case with a plasma TV, guitar hero and Xbox. They have remote control cars. They have lots of fun stuff. We're the losers. We read books, watch DVDs and play poker. We're not the hippest cats.

Do you ever sneak over to their bus and try to play?

BK: I haven't actually yet. I'm not a big fan of Guitar Hero.

(I just picked the pieces that he talks about My Chem).

I'm pretty sure I've heard Frank or whoever say that they read, watch dvds and drink coffee on their bus, too. Because that's how they roll ;) And I'm also quite sure some people would say playing poker is more 'cool' than playing with a remote control car, too. XD

<3 Billy Talent.

Lol, both band names are from books. Ben actually read the book he got 'Billy Talent' from, while Mikey just saw the words 'chemical romance'. XD
