a lot ;but, do
y'all have girlfriends?
Devin: Nope (everybody)
Michelle:
Hey! I was at your concert in Hartford, CT and it was
awesome!! I was just
wondering what your favourite song to perform live is??
Thanks! I love you

Brad: Our new single called West Side Story, it's a great song, it gives us a lot of energy and it's something that we wrote and produced

cheyenne workman:
1:why did you guys decide to become pop stars?
2:when do you plan on coming to Edmonton?
3:what do you look for in a girl?
Brad: We didn't decide, we don't consider ourselves pop stars, but if we are thank you. We just make music and follow our dreams and it just happened. We let the chips fall where they may.
Karen Falk:
Hey! I just wanted to say that I love you guys soooooooo
much! Anyways my
question is what do you guys enjoy doing in your free time?
Do you guys
chill and play video games, or do you go out and party?
Brad: We like to sleep, work out, go to the movies, the mall, play basketball and football, go out with girls
Jillian Jancko:
I love the song "Me"! Why wasn't it released on the US
album?
Brad: Because we didn't finish it in time for the US version, it is on the European.
Shayla Millhone:
What influenced you guys to become musicians?
Brad: Our love of music, passion for music.
According to Devin, Stevie Wonder,
Rich - New Edition
and for Brad it was L.L. Cool J
My grandfather was a good whistler
Steve:
Do you remember what the first song the three of you sang
together was?
Brad: A song called "Your Heart IS Safe With Me"
It went perfectly. We sang it great!
It took a couple days to record
Milly:
what's the craziest thing a fan ever did ?
Brad:
A girl got an LFO tattoo.
They made a 100 page scrap book of all our magazine articles and stuff like that.
Anonymous:
Hello I want to ask for you guys :
1. Why you choose Jennifer Love to starring your video clip
?
Brad: Because we had the same publicist and because we were a big fan of hers and because she was a big fan of ours and we're good friends.
Milly:
if u could go out to supper with anyone who would it be ?
Brad: Brad - President Clinton, I like him, I think he's cool
Rich - Gwen Stefani
Devin - his mom (he loves her and doesn't get to see her often)
Joanne:
With the plethora of 'boy bands' out in the market, what
makes LFO different?
Brad:
We write and sing our own music, we don't dress the same, we don't dance the same. We have a live band, we're not fabricated, we make our own decisions.
Billy Bob John:
where do you come up with the lyrics for your songs?
Brad: From our brains, life experiences.
One time Rich met a girl in Cape Code who was wearing Abercombie & Fitch and Finch and it inspired him to write Summer Girls.
We really like Twinkies and we have a song about them that we only sing in concert.
Nelki:
How did the band get together?
Brad: Rich and Brad met about 4 years ago in Orlando and we met Devin a little over a year ago from a mutual friend, Michael Caputo.
Stephanie Drewett:
Hi Devin, it's Steph from England.I met you and Mike Caputo
when me and my family where on holiday in Orlando!Can you
remember?You had only just joined the group!!I just wanna
say that you rock I think LFO are the BEST group ever!!I
love you!Steph xxx
Brad: Devin and I (Mike) remember her and we met at the Enclave Hotel and thank you for your continued support
Sashlyn:
Would ANY of u EVER go out with fans? be honest(I like bsb
too and they r getting married!!) and what age range?? AND
would u ever go out w/ a 14 yea old like when they were
18??
Brad: Yes, we've already gone out with fans.
They have to be at least 18.
But we can be just friends with anybody who's under 18.
Jillian Jancko:
I heard you are doing a song for the Rugrats Movie. What
song is it?
Brad: It's called "The Sun Still Shines".
Rich wrote it a few months ago and the Rug Rats people heard it and they thought it would fit the movie really well. They're just working out the details right now. If all goes well it will be the lead single off the soundtrack.
Everybody should write to the Nickelodeon people and say they want to hear LFO on the soundtrack.
Dana Carter:
Hey Guys!
I love your music SO much and I was wondering how long
we're
gonna have to wait to see a new album from you!
Thanx alot!
Brad: If all goes well we'll have a new album out around Christmas time.
We might call it "Super Hero"
Speaking of Super Heroes, Devin just finished a comic with LFO as super heroes and you may be able to find it and buy it within the next few months.
Milly:
what do u like to do after a big show ?
Brad: Honestly after a show, we're on a natural high and after a show we just relax and calm down and if we're in a city we like to go out with a girl we met in the city like go to the movies or something.
Girl who loves you!:
Why do you say you hate Chinese food in your song, "Summer
Girls"?
Brad: Basically because Rich hates Chinese food.
It's funny cause the lady brought some fortune cookies. It's not a joke, he's got a phobia of Chinese food. If there's any Chinese food within 100 feet he gets upset.
Anonymous:
Does Devin keep in touch with old band Natural High?
Devin: No, not really.
(Lost touch with them the day he left, when life kicked in)
L.A.:
Hi Guys! It was great seeing you in New Port Richey last
week! I loved the Twinkie song! Are you going to release
it?
Also, will you be adding a show in Tampa for the All That
Tour? Thanks for doing Forever, & good luck with the
tour!
Brad: Right now it's just for live shows. But there might be a deal with Hostess where you could hear it in commercials. But nothing is confirmed yet.
You'd have to check LFO.com for the second part of that question.
Wendy Wong:
What was the worst date you ever had?
Brad: A date when the girl didn't show up.
Rich - went to a carnival with a young lady and she threw up on the ride
Devin - doesn't really go on dates very often
Chris:
Hi, I was at a concert in Detroit last Christmas, and one
of you guys said you were Portuguese. Have you ever been
to Portugal, do you speak the language?
Brad: Devin does speak the language and has been there too.
He says it's a beautiful place and he'd like to go back.
Becky Leppla(SummerGirl4Brad@aol.com):
Do you guys read all your fan mail?
I love you Brad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brad: What's up Becky!
Anything that we see we read. WE read a lot of emails. Me and Mike Caputo are very much involved with the Internet.
Fency:
I love you Brad!!!!!!!!you guys are AWESOME!! will you guys
ever go on solo career someday?? from : Fency in Southeast
Asia.
Brad: Devin is planning a solo career sometime after the second album.
We just let the chips fall where they may. Our main focus is to get LFO as successful as possible.
