Why did u really leave t.b.s?.
In an interview you had said that the band was more into cooking than making music?. Is there any regrets in leaving since u pretty much made t.b.s. Foundation.

[darrengriffin]

The fact he is stoked on 5k subs when he was in TBS is great. Fair play.

I'm flying to the US from Ireland for the first show....facts

I know it’s a little late but you gotta rejoin TBS it would bring 2 eras of the band together perfectly instead of bringing in a new member it’d just be awesome to have a familiar face and especially one of the most creative forces from the band. Obviously it’s easier said than done and I don’t know the relationship between you guys. Oh well maybe in a perfect word.

Fred, been a huge fan since the Early days of TBS (I know you came in at "Where you want to be", but that was the best album. Back in highschool (2001-2005), we covered almost all your songs. TBS was never the same without you

Anyone know where to find Ron Is Poor? Would love to check it out

[darrengriffin]

And also did you ever feel in competition with Jimmy Eat World?

[kilianreid]

Why do you have a copy of "The 4-Hour Body" on your bookshelf?

[RodrigoRibeiroPNL]

You are my favorite guitarrist ever, and you are alike Obi Wan Kenobi !

[Underclass]

Really curious as to why SG was your guitar of choice. Anyway, I personally think you're one of the coolest dudes to look up to when I was in grade school. Real glad that you're still making music, man.

[superdooperpaul]

I’m halfway through and already have 4 bands I’ll be checking out after this!

[soopetube]

Man, I remember sneaking out of the foster home to then sneak into one of your shows like 14 years ago.
Teenage me had the best night of his life, thank you so much!

[marmarpressrepeat]

[DreDay]

Hey Fred, we love your music here in the Philippines. That's why I was so happy when you sang A Decade Under The Influence again coz it's my favorite! Sending all our love from the Philippines, man!

[squints]

How did you come up with such Crunchy Riffs..and God Tier backing vocals?

[GnarStark]

Chon is one of my favorite bands ever! It was cool to see that name come up I wasn’t expecting that. Your sons got good taste

[blacklightgypsy]

I’m late to the party but have been catching up this past week going through with whichever video of yours is recommended to me next. So pleased to have you, a mention of Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, and Elliott Smith all in one video! I converted the back of my minivan in to a solar powered recording studio with an 8 track cassette recorder and drove all over North America a few years back. I became so enamoured with both Guanajuato and San Miguel that I’ve been trying to obtain temporary residency to Mexico for a while though haven’t been successful. As a Canadian I can go down for 6 months at a time though it’s nowhere near enough, rather just about what it takes to thoroughly explore a few of those narrow passageways!

You look great, you sound great, and this series you’ve created is great! I’ll be honest and say I haven’t kept up much since “Bend To Break’ but recently decided to seek out some inspiration by revisiting the artist’s that shaped me. It’s nice to see your beaming smile and that you’re connecting with the fans. Your music and being means a whole deal to us as I’m sure you know!

Thank you- for everything!

[mattperreault]

This is really interesting. Thanks for doing it!
