Email-Interview mit Dave Franklin (v) von November 2003

1. Where is Vision heading? What are you trying to achieve as a band?
Vision is heading into the future but where that is going to lead usŠis
uncertain. Although I do know that we will continue to play, record records
and tour. As far as what we are trying to achieveŠwe want to be able to
share our music, ideals and beliefs with whoever is willing to listen. Of
course, we also want to give everyone a quality product.

2. Tell us about the new album.. Would you describe it as hardcore or punk
rock or is it all the same to you? Why should kids buy Detonate and not the
new Justin Timberlake album?
Our album is a mixture of both Punk Rock and Hardcore. This is the way we
always do it! I think they should both Vision and Justin Timberlake and
then maybe you'll see us tour together. Ha Ha Ha

3. What music do you listen to on the tour bus?
Just about everything from Punk Rock to Hip Hop from Hardcore to Classic
Rock. Whatever we're in the mood for!

4. Why is Vision not as big as NOFX?
I don't know. I was hoping you can tell me the answer to that question.

5. Do you like Europe? Are we really that snobby?
Yes, I do enjoy Europe. The shows are always good, we have many friends
there and it's always interesting going someplace that has so much history.
As for the second part of the question, I don't find Europeans snobby at
all!

6. What current artist/band do you really hate with a passion?
I don't hate anybody at all. If there is a band or artist that I don¹t care
for, I wouldn't waste my energy or time even listening to them!

7. What happened to Epitaph?
Mr. Brett was the person that was most into Vision. Other people at the
label that really ran the show didnŒt care to much for us. Whenever we
asked for anything the answer was always no. So it was time to move on.

8. Are you guys millionaires or do you have jobs when you're not living the
rock star life on tour?
We are all millionaires and all we do is go to Hollywood to find young
starlets.
Just kidding! We all have jobs when we are not on tour.

9. Why are the Misfits the best band ever next to Vision?
Because they are from New Jersey ...just like us!
