DESTINED TO EXPLODE * MAIN BLOG

[rian xavier vixx]

so it's the third day here on tour and we've visited two cities in two different states. I have to say that this is by far the biggest tour we've been on so far, I didn't even think these guys had this much of a fan base but it's seriously been so awesome. It's only been two tour dates and merch is selling out faster than i expected and jayden is like.... stocked up on twinkies thanks to the amazing fans out there. And i've already seen tons of photos on tumblr of James and Christine holding up random signs for fans. My favorite so far was one of James holding up a sign saying, "GLEN COCO IS MY HOMEBOY", haha mainly because Glen Coco is probably like the best fictional character ever created. I mean, like seriously, how the fuck did that kid get so many fucking candy canes? Helloooooooooo mister popular! Anyways, make sure you come by this tour, the band's playing one of their newest songs from their new album coming out next month! And let us know what you think? (: ... you know they love to hear your feedback. And make sure you stop by the merch tent, say hello to me, and pick up some merch! The band just designed some new shirts and I honestly think they'll blow your mind! and keep posted on this blog because i'll be posting a lot while on the road! I'll be posting exclusive stuff like videos, pictures, interviews, etc.

And for you 'Alexune' fans, here's a lovely gif for you:

Yo, so it's me again, working my journalistic mojo on the road. Don't be afraid to tell me how i'm doing, okay? I can take the criticism. Hell, give me ideas too, or questions to ask the band members. Your wish is my command. except, not really. Anyways, first i bring you a backstage photo, that i just couldn't resist but take:

Yeah, this was actually during Lovely Destruction's set yesterday late afternoon. Me and Emery, the band's roadie, kept tossing cheetoh's at him. Come to think of it, we should have stuck his hand in warm water to make him piss himself. damn it. i'm thinking of starting a prank war around this tour, holy shit, it'd be hilarious. We already pull that shit with each other on the bus, imagine a tour wide prank war? holy shit. anyways, moving on to something i personally put together with the help of one of the fan's about two days ago. She convinced me to sing a song, wanting to hear me sing. I have no idea why and little did I know, she was actually recording it and she sent me the link. so here it goes, in case you guys want to hear the weird little merch guy sing:

and yes, i'm a huge fan of the Cure. she asked me to sing my favorite song of all time...i grabbed James' acoustic and started playing. I'm actually thinking of getting a tattoo with some of their lyrics, not sure which yet. Any ideas?
Throw'em at meh. Also, i have a little surprise for you guys.

Hey Chris, how are you liking tour so far?

'It's amazing as always! I love touring... meeting so many people everyday, sometimes seeing old faces again. it's great really. And this tour is pretty awesome, i mean, the heat is insane but i really like all the bands on this tour.

Which bands or crew members from other bands do you hang out with most during tour?

'definitely.... the Destined to Explode boys... um Scar from Break the Routine... she's like...oh, instant best friend right there. Ronnie too. um, who else... Fox and Declan from Coddle the Infection are pretty awesome'

What's your favorite song to perform?

'well my favorite of our songs is 'I Feel Like Dancing' but it isn't my favorite song to play... that'd have to be 'Damned if I Do Ya, Damned if I Don't'...i love the drumming in that song, it's amazing...'

What's the oddest thing a fan has brought you?

'oddest thing?...er....the oddest thing would probably have to be a bra... someone brought me a pokeball bra, which is awesome, since i like pokemon. but it was weird that they knew my bra size... and they wrote...'Christine's Boobs' on the cups..that would probably be the oddest so far. i still love it! it was just... new. '

When given letters from fans, do you actually read them?

'Of course! They're my favorite part. I love that some of the fans actually look up to me.. i mean i don't understand why, i'm just like them. but It's really amazing that they feel so... inspired by me.'

Any lucky guy on tour?

'i knew you were gonna slip that in there, jerk. but no, i come on tour.. just being me and expecting to meet new friends. if love comes, it comes. if it doesn't, it doesn't. but either way, who really wants to date a rock star, you know?'

And last question, do you have anything to say to your bands fans?

'um...Follow your dreams. Never give up. and Happiness will find its way to you no matter what.... and that we love you!'
