Hey all I thought I would start asking for questions now.

If you have never done a chat with us before there are a few rules to the chat. I will post them later. The main is Matt does not answer personal questions. This means he won't talk about his family or personal relationships with other people. So if you want to ask him about recording with Rob that's fine, but if you wants to know what Rob does on his personal time, you can forget it...LOL.

The questions are seen by and approved before hand. I know it sucks a bit, but we never want to blindside anyone.

Now in saying that post your question for Matt and anyone else. Make sure you say who they are for. If we can't arrange a chat with everyone I am sure I can get them to do an email Q&A.

I will try to get the transcripts reposted on Matt's fan site so you can see how they went before. If the question has been asked before have no fear, alot of the times the answer will change after a tour.

So post away! I will get you guys more info on the chat as soon as I can!

i want to know favorite tour moments from *each leg* of the tour

what you like most and least about being on and off the road (so, theres 4 questions there...)

instead of a website or 2 () dedicated to you in all of your glory, what is the best thing a fan has given/done for you?
the worst?

are you fully committed to rob/matchbox, or do you prefer to do the multi-band thing as you have for so long

where did you find inspiration for your music? and i mean specifically. pick a song, and tell us about how you started writing it, or why. and why now?

and where did you finally find the shoes?! *giggles*

do you think you'll do the solo-tour thing? be the frontman and play 12 instruments at the same time while singing?

when can we expect the solo album in its entirety to be released?

i have a lot of other questions i think perhaps are too personal for a chat...so i'll save those for a rainy day...but, these are a start and the first few go for everyone. i'm just too lazy right now to re-post...ask me tomorrow about this time though!

Edit:
ooh hey! i think i missed the part where i had to be specific cuz this was getting posted on everyones ...boards and things...
this was originally posted in matt's chat questionaire, and i was going to work on the others later...oh well. i guess its all around for everyone! = P

Hey it works....LOL
