Betweeen The Buried and Me (Dan) interview with Punk World Views

[CaioS34]

I was psyched to see a Dan Briggs interview I hadn't seen before but I have to agree with many of the other comments on here. True to form for most metal interviews this one was lame at best. If I went to work and performed my job at the level of this interviewer I would not expect to retain my job. Calling yourself "Punk" and claiming you do what you want is hardly a passable excuse. Also a huge class move to stereotype all from Kentucky as being unfamiliar with "big words". Aim High!

[enjoydenise]

@CaioS34 i'm from kentucky... not sure what you're referring to there. and everyone should chill out. my site has "punk" in it due to MY view on shit, not necessarily the person i'm interviewing. this was also VERY early in my interviewing career, so... yeah.. i'll take it as everyone being majorly j-face that i get to talk to their favorite musicians while they sit at home and lose at halo while cruising youtube. SORRY, FOLKS. can't please 'em all!! :D

[raiderglory]

@NoAppend Hey man, Dan's dad here. Tryin' to be fair-minded and all, and I don't like to, you know, meddle in my son's business.... but some of this chick's questions were.......very uninformed. I agree with whoever said that maybe she should have done just a WEE check on Wikipedia (even?) to know a LITTLE background on the band and not ask Dan stupid questions about personnel changes and such (and "was there any crap behind that change?" I mean....c'mon....). Dan is smart. He's not shy.

[bigthunk]

Sounds like Dan got himself quite a catch. That girls sounds like she's beautiful.

[TheHandofgod1234]

[metalfun111]

I would be willing to bet i was at this show. Was it at headliner's music hall?

[enjoydenise]

@metalfun111 it sure was! I have some live footage on my page from that show also.

[Vote4Taco]

Dan's a great inspiration for me. Goal of mine would be to play a show with him... it's good to hear what he has to say, instead of the typical "METAL, METAL, METAL" cause real fans want to get to KNOW the players themselves, not just the music. Good job :)

[Alecruns]

Dan seems really shy, I wish he wasn't cause he is a phenomenal musician

[chug11649]

dan fucking briggs!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greenwake69]

hahaha that laugh dan does at the end... to be honest i enjoyed the interview she asked rediculous questions that u never hear...... this was better then all of metal injections interviews... that dudes gay as hell

[CtrlRm]

I met Dan in New Jersey, he was pretty cool, but kinda seemed like he didn't wanna be bothered talking to the fans.

[Justin011794]

am i the only one who thinks that dan in this video kinda looks like alan harper on two and a half men? xD

by the way dan youre a fucking amazing bassist!

[danevati]

Heyyy my name is Dan!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahah :D

[SCATinZEhat]

i like the interview. its all not the same questions all the time. no need to be mean to denise. she did nothing wrong. just going for something different.

[enjoydenise]

@SCATinZEhat <3

[RJRomanBass]

@SCATinZEhat lol what are the odds of seeing one of your comments ahahaha.

[lukyganesh]

this guy is a mother fuggin beast at the bass guitar

[lvlellovv9]

yeah, and punk world views blows...these questions are fuckin terrible...not interesting at all...and you're asking about shit in BTBAM when he wasn't even in the band....you have no idea what you are talking about.

[Scifire]

About two minutes of that interview was what it should have been. I'm not gonna get all mean and call you names, but taking the attitude of "this is how I do it so fuck off" really isn't a good way to get meaningful interviews.

[classicSNESzack]

You can totally tell the interview is so clueless about her job when she says "and were gonna talk" after dan introduces himself.

[vendetta1332]

Was he throwin the mac down? AHAHAHAHhaha

[sicboi80]

Dan motherfuckin' Briggs

[CelticMudkip]

I think the biggest thing to note is not the interviewer and what she asked (it may not have been the usual questions but she was always on topic and carried on an actual conversation so it was nice and casual), but the fact that swim to the moon too only a fucking week to write.

How the hell??

[lk47902]

This interview consist in:

Interviewer: Asks a question about something that Dan´s doesnt really know because of the time he entered the Band, showing that has an interviewer she hasnt researched SHIT previously and SUCKS at her job.

Dan: Tryes to anwser politely instead of saying: WTF YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT BTBAMS HISTORY DUMM BITCH!

[FrizzySkernip]

Haha I love Dan Briggs man, he's so geeky but not quite annoying. An awesome bassist as well, one of my favorites.

[T88Boostin]

this is a great interview, it's quiet and there's no distractions so you can actually focus on the conversation. great job!

[JeffreeMalloy]

This is a mediocre interview at best. Who starts off an interview about a song written 10 years ago, especially if it's completely irrelevant to the interviewee. Here's some advice: keep your opinions to yourself and do some basic research at least before you interview someone, instead of wasting their time.

[DanielShallows]

I think you did a fantastic job interviewing! I hope you interview more members of Between the Buried and Me. I know how hard it is to interview a band and it can be a little nerve-racking, and I think you did great! :)

[enjoydenise]

@DanielShallows thank you! :) not my BEST work, but people who aren't doing this don't understand what it's like. i appreciate the kind words though, this is one of my most hated interviews!

[Saigon319]

Am I the only one that wants to see the interviewer as well? Truly thanks for the interview! It's good to see Dan finally out from behind the shadows of his awesome bass playing

[josephgervasi]

How can you sit down with someone of this talent level without looking him up on Wikipedia beforehand? You didn't even ask about Orbs, Vegetarianism, anything bass related. You asked about Paul's hair and mentioned Kentucky. As someone who really appreciates how much of an original approach this guy takes to playing bass in metal music, this was largely disappointing. I'm not going to suggest that you blew Dan to get this interview, but someone definitely got blown for this to happen. Bad form.

[enjoydenise]

@josephgervasi I mentioned KY because we were IN KENTUCKY! I like to ask different questions that haven't been asked before, it's my style and it's that way in every interview I've ever done. This was a BTBAM show so I didn't ask about Orbs and crap. I've learned you can't please everyone, so in the end I do what I want, and everyone can fuck off! that's punk world views, baby.

[DeluxeLtd]

@josephgervasi you should interview him

[asharp12]

fuck THAT BITCH. she totally had no clue dan wasnt in the band on the first album. she can go die.

[enjoydenise]

@asharp12 Dear, I don't know which member(s) I'm interviewing beforehand a lot of the time... I find out when I arrive. And if I deserve to die for not stalking every band I interview, then.. uh.. sorry? haha, I'm actually really sorry for you that I get to sit and hang with your favorite bands while you tell random chicks to go die. Good luck with that!

[asharp12]

@enjoydenise hun. im a 17 year old in a gay ass scene band. please don't take me seriously. haha. i'll admit 100% that i envy u for getting to talk to dan. cuz yes btbam is my favorite band ofalltimee.

[enjoydenise]

Shit @Bluexeclipse I'm sorry!! I assumed it was another person hating on me, haha. But honestly other comments seemed like they were from such uneducated people, it wasn't worth my time to reply cos I have no interest in wasting time on immature, stupid kids. Sorry man, I didn't mean to be a jerk to ya! :)

[Bluexeclipse]

Although she is lacking, It's nice to see/hear Dan. He's barely in videos aside from crappy cell phone recordings of veridian. I think everyone can agree we need more dan in our lives

[enjoydenise]

@Bluexeclipse you all are such haters! i love it!

[Bluexeclipse]

@enjoydenise I'm not hating, the "although she is lacking" was making reference to everyone else basically bashing you on here, I was just stating that its more about Dan and what he says then about everyone claiming that you are ill prepared.

So, way to go to calling me a hater when i was more or less dfending you. and you left everyone else who was bashing you alone.

[Bluexeclipse]

@enjoydenise so now I have to ask, what makes you hate on my "although she is lacking" which clearly is addressed to everyone on here except for you but you leave "terrible interview" "awful interviewer" and "Ok, your an Effin moron" alone?

[lk4790]

The interviewer totally has a crush on Dan

[JellyFishPuddin]

terrible interview..

still watched the whole thing tho

[ShiftIntoFocus]

this is the best

[toolfanopiate]

Wow, this interviewer really did not do her home work. Asking a guy about stuff that went on in the band before he was in the band! Jesus Christ.

[Blackened1993]

dan briggs is a dude =]

[douggyfrreshh]

why the fuck would you start the interview asking about a song made 5 albums ago when the guy you're interviewing isn't even on the record?

[enjoydenise]

because i do what i want! is YOUR interview better? oh wait.... =)

[tbmagoo]

Ok, you're a fucking moron. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and what the FUCK does BTBAM have to do with "punk"worldviews?

This just has failure written all over it.

[WITCHDUCKtheband]

Wow. Who asks a bassist of that talent about the lead guitarists hair? What a retarded bunch of questions.

[xXJmG47Xx]

what a**Holes that was a pretty good interview...

[ButterMilkPancakes]

HAhaha, awful interviewer.

[machetexeric]

Worst interview ever lol

[MyEggIsBoiled]

That he does.  Also, do not let the voice of the twelve year old boy fool you. He's a god.

[schecter606]

Good interview.

Ky rep.

[enjoydenise]

thanks! =)
