no band has a more devoted fanbase than Alesana, honestly, & it's because once you're a fan you get addicted & can't go back, besides these are the most beautiful people ever & they produce music for the right reasons. honestly if you don't listen to Alesana or say that they're the best band it's because you don't know who they are. stay dewtastic fellas.

God I wish I went to the Delaware show..... hate my life... lol

[@BadWooolfie]

He looks so old. *-*

[@TalkativeTerror]

@rockforevermagazine Hey Tori , you and Shawn would make a totally cute couple if you's ever got together. :)

[@insightt_t]

yo thats my nigga

[@reichubbs3821]

Without alesana i wont be listening to metalcore/post-hardcore lol

[@TheKozzee]

The interviewer doesn't seem to know that much about Alesana, and quite frankly, she annoys me.

[@TheLegacyOfKaizer]

People keep saying the same thing about Bryanstars. Here's the thing, if they knew everything like you douches do, there would be no fucking interview.

[@TheKozzee]

To be honest it's more the interviewer than her knowledge. I recently watched a Neck Deep interview in which the interviewers didn't even know the band, and it was still a good interview. Just my opinion man, but this interviewer seems kind of fake in a way.
On the other hand, BryanStars acts like he knows stuff, but completely misinforms the viewer. In one of his A7X interviews one of his questions started with:
"Since the release of your debut self-titled album.."
Not knowing the band is usually fine with me, and I understand where you're coming from with your comment.

[@TheNobody133316666]

Same :D

[@hmdoug98]

The Emptiness is why I'm loyal.
