I bought it today, I didnt realise it needed to be scanned, I could have done it earlier I was actually really interested in one part: Clash: There are a couple of songs on this album that sound like lost 80s power anthems, one being 'Be Somebody'Caleb: That was one that we had been messing around with for a bit. It sounded really dark. i wrote that song about - actually speaking about what you just said - we had a couple of fans that were getting online that were crazy. They were talkin' so much shit about us, but at the same time, but at the same time they were talking about about how we were the love of their lives, and we live together; they had all these weird fucked up fantasies. So I kinda wrote these verses about life as we see it, and then in the chorus I'd switch scenes to them. Its like, [sings] "Given a chance I'm gonna be somebody/If for one day I'm gonna be somebody/ So open the door I'm gonna make you love me/ I'm facing the floor, I'm gonna be somebody". Its about someone really taking it to the next level. I've always said from day one, no matter how many fans we get, if one of us ever died from a fan, it would be a girl. There's no guy that would wanna kill us. There are girls that get so obsessed they would want to kill us. They wanna shoot us, they wanna do whatever, Its always scared me, but i thought if its a fear of mine I should write a song about it, maybe I can stop it from happening"
So I think thats answered my question about being flattered or freaked out by all the stuff thats said online I felt really bad when I read it, I know I'm only joking about stuff but I guess maybe everyone isnt!!! Ps I got it in Easons in Ire!

Well I dont think they wrote a song about any one thing I said but about the weird crazy conversations many of us have had!!! I guess I never thought of it as scary but I guess things have a way of snowballing, i.e. someone going over board and actually stalking etc.

Caleb is so fucking cool. Its really neat that he would write about something like that...
I hope he doesn't turn out like John Lennon.

I think he's just really honest. Theres another bit about how insecure he is and stuff! Its really sad that people feel like that about themselves, I can identify with it so I guess thats why it stuck!
His honesty is refreshing! Not your bullshit learned off lines that most people spout in interviews! Nate & Jared the same! Cant say for Matt............

Ps I got it in Easons in Ire! Umm, if they're talking about this forum than I think they are over reacting! We say things on here, stories and stuff, but they should know we don't mean it! Like I actually wanna have 6 Nacho babies I've never met a KOL fan that's wanted to kill them, that's for sure...

I bought it yesterday, i ran round the whole of Edinburgh city centre on my lunch hour trying to find it! Yeah i can bet they get pretty freaked out by some of the posts on forums! ill admit im obsessed not in an unhealthy way, mainly by there music but yeah they are hot but you have to know where the line is between loving a band and being over the top obsessed to where you would start making up stuff about thinking you go out with them etc.... like caleb was saying in the interview
