Becoming - The Setbacks

Hey guys, first of all I want to say that you guys rock and I love the way you rock out on stage.

When are you guys going to release your first video? I have been practicing all your moves and I'm just waiting for MTV to make a "Becoming" for you guys. I really want to be Chris for the video and I think my friend Ron looks just like Trevor.

What song is the video going to be for?


Trevor
Is this the same Kip Miller who plays in the NHL? Maybe you can answer my question. Are the Washington Capitals ever going to switch back to their old red and white uniforms with the old logo? I don't like the new one.

Anyway, to answer your question, I hate the show Becoming. I always feel embarrassed for the people who are on it. They're making fools of themselves to dress up and act like "stars". Some of them cry. It's ridiculous.

But if they do one of us that'd be cool!

By the way, your buddy Ron must be one hell of a good looking guy.


Steve
Hey Kip, thanks for the question. Our first video will be for the song "(The Power of) A Thousand Lasers", which I have written but the band has yet to record. The video itself will be made completely in claymation with absolutely no images, photos or appearances by any members of the group. Unfortunately, I don't think you and Ron will be able to show off your chops this time. I hope you understand.

It is funny that you should bring up videos because I have an idea that has never been done. I have pitched the idea of a video that includes a) club scenes, b) lowrider cars cruising around town , and c) tons of girating scantily clad women. This idea has worked wonders with the rap industry but has barely been touched upon in the rock scene.

I feel that with enough gold teeth and bling-bling that we could really pull this off. This idea also blends perfect with our new remix of Perfect Silence done by Puff Daddy called "Perfect Shiznit". Hopefully taping will begin soon.


Chris
GUY!

NOT BY CHOICE, potentially the worst band in Canada since Haywire, have a new video with a "Becoming" premise. They suck so bad, that I cringe everytime I think that all you gotta do is slap a bunch of ATTICUS shirts on four moulians, give em' a tattoo or two, and let them follow rank with the rest of that lame ass movement. All of those boys look like these dudes I used to know who would play demolition derby on snowmobiles, and wear Ski-Doo schwag all of time.

Our first video....man we only got three shows under our belts!
Thanks for wanting to be me!
