Greg is obviously an intelligient individual well-versed in the philosophies of the English language and logic and the formalities of the interview method. From what I have read from his contributions to the hyperspace-interweb social media communities, he is definitely a get-to-the-point, no nonsense type of lad. He would make great management material.

You people are too quick to jump down his throat with this one. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment:

You’re famous (relatively). You participate in a countless number of interviews. You are a get-to-the-point type of person through-and-through. You expect that, having successfully acquired a journalist position, one would be well-educated and experienced in the formalities and etiquette of the interview method. Jerk A (a.k.a. – the pseudo-journalist) throws you a vague and horribly open-ended question like, “What can we expect when you play shows here?”. Obviously, there are a million and one different ways to answer this question. You have no idea what kind of answer they’re looking for. Do you answer the question with a long-winded response outlining your setlist and giving away some spoilers? Or do you say something cliched and uncreative like, “We just plan on going out there and giving 110% and rocking some balls off!” If you are Greg Puciato, you understand that the latter is simply unacceptable.

No. Interviewers are fucking lazy these days. The proper way to conduct an interview (save for anyone undergoing psychoanalysis by a disciple of Freud) is to ask leading questions that get straight to the point. For example, “Should we expect to hear more of your older stuff or more of the newer stuff?” or “If your band was modelling itself after Limp Bizkit, could we expect you to rock the Yankees ball cap and khaki Dickies pants that are a million sizes too big for you so that you have to keep pulling up your pants strategically by grabbing at a crotch that probably doesn’t exist or is possibly too miniscule to be distinguishable by the human eye or will you just be dressing up your guitarist as some sort of retarded gorilla-type reject from Planet of the Apes?”

But, I mean, if I was in Greg’s position, I would probably have a little bit of fun with that question until interviewers stopped asking it. I might provide a response like, “Well, we all just came from a greasy Mexican dive and had 16 burritos each and we just collectively decided that we’re going to go on stage and just pop-a-squat and shit at our respective stage locations. Also, we brought 7 homeless people and 18 dogs with us to the Mexican dive so that they can join us on stage and do the same. Enjoy!”
