Interview With
Eddie
Taking Back Sunday

Can you say your name and tell us what you do in the band?
I’m Edd and I play guitar in Taking Back Sunday.

How’s it been touring with My Chemical Romance?
It’s been good. It’s been fun.

How do you make your shows stand out from the rest?
We’re just two different bands so I think we really don’t have to change anything. We’re just ourselves. You know, there’s no gimmick.

What do you do to pass the time on the tour bus?
Watch DVDs and listen to music. I watch a lot of bootleg DVDs.

Who would you love to tour with and why?
Probably Thursday. We haven’t got a chance to tour with them yet.

What’s the best thing about the UK?
The kids, the beautiful little towns. Not the food though, the foods horrible.

It’s not.
It’s horrible.
Not all of it.
(Laughs) you obviously haven’t eaten in the states yet!

What’s your favourite word to say in an English accent?
(Dodgy English accent) Hello! That’s horrible.

What laws would you impose if you ruled the world?
I would really make everyone equal.

What’s your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is failing. Failure, that’s my fear.

What was the inspiration behind the artwork for your latest album?

I mean, it was just a new beginning, so we felt like little babies hitting the road to a whole new world. So basically [that’s] where we got the idea from.

What was your new year’s resolution?
My new year resolution was to lose a lot of weight.
Have you done it?
15 pounds.

What’s in store for the future of Taking Back Sunday?
Rock and roll.
