I'd 100% say something like that. But then I'd also ask a question that not many people ask.

One of the best questions I seen asked was at the Dublin Q&A and they asked Jon to play the set list they created. He didn't do all the songs of course, but even he liked the question, knew it was different and spoke a bit about it.

If people go to ask the same questions, fine. From where I'm sat I'd like to see other questions, though. Nothing wrong with that.

It kind of reminds me of that interview Denis Leary did about his character in Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. His character hates Jon because his girlfriend slept with him, but if Jon was ever on the show, he said his character would be kissing his ass. (He was publicly inviting Jon to be on the show.) I imagine most the "big talkers" around here would be the same way if they ever met him.

You're right, but I am a fan not a journalist. I expect the journalists to ask the "hard" questions.
The one and only time I met Jon (and the rest of the band) I thanked him for his music. Trite - yes. But it was about all I could fit in while being shuffled by him. And it came straight from my heart.

The times I met him I think I mumbled something (and there was that one time when I went speechless) Honestly, I don't think he'd care if I'd tell him what their music means to me and blah blah...
But if I had the chance to interview him, I would definitely ask him a few things he wouldn't like (not to piss him off, but because I want to know) and tell him how much I hated WAN for example (again, not that he'd care) :p

I haven't. One post explaining my displeasure at the bullshit some people speak doesn't necessarily mean I'm an angry person. 'Just that I think people are talking bullshit.

I´ve always thought that I meet Jon, the first thing I will ask it´ll be "why are you still playing Captain Crush live over and over if everyone hates it?"

You'll have to define 'everyone' really. Usually if a song doesn't get a reaction they'll drop it pretty fast.

Actually, I like it quite a bit. It's a fun song and works well live. Keep it!

Because in a European stadium environment in a sea of people it works wonders, minus a few tens or hundreds pretentious die hards. Just like We Got It Goin' On works wonderfully in an in-door arena setting.
