Interview with Tomas Kalnoky

10 minute interview with Tomas Kalnoky of Streetlight Manifesto from the Rock N Roll Super Show (Episode 39).
Watch as this guy who supposedly loves Streetlight Manifesto ask Tomas awkward questions after awkward questions. JUST GET TO 99SOR! He does towards the end, and Tomas basically gives away that you can expect the cover album out in September and an album of originals next Spring.

Highlights:
0:29 - Tomas cringes, bites his lip, then smiles at the interviewer calling them a 'ska' band.
0:56 - Pwned by Tomas
1:44 - Fatty Fails
2:14 - Ska bands are known for goofy lyrics, not happy, especially Reel Big Fish.
3:35 - He admits it.
5:06 - Why even bother talking about this? It's like bringing up someone's past marriage in a conversation with them.
6:50 - Another stupid question...
7:35 - 99SOR, thanks for taking 7 minutes and 35 seconds to get around to it fatty.
7:58 - Part 2 of 99SOR for SLM (or maybe BOTAR)?

There was 20 seconds more to this video (but it has to be 10:00)...he just talks about how they look like normal guys visiting Warped Tour whereas the "fashion-core" bands are like celebrities.

"Reel Big Fish, you tour a lot with them, and their tunes are notoriously happy"

What tunes was he talking about? Was it Everything Sucks, or Drunk Again, or Hate You, or Another F.U. Song, or Your Guts (I Hate 'Em), or Nothin', or Dont Start a Band? It seems like a lot of their songs are not too happy at all. They just sound kinda happy with the way the horns and everything are played. That fat ass ginger is a douche.

"You just look like..." -- video cuts off

YOU JUST LOOK LIKE WHAT

[tehfundibulous]

WHY WASN'T I AT WARPED TOUR '09?

ALSO

NO STRIPES.

NO HAT.

WHAT?

Man that interviewer seemed so misinformed on what Streetlight is as a band. Thomas abhors the idea of classifying them into one particular limiting genre for the simple fact that he wants fans to realize that Streetlight is more of a melting pot of influences from their own lives. The horns and overall ska influence is there because he likes the sound, while the high speed suits his punk influence.

The whole Catch 22 issues being brought up was really ridiculous and I think it was more of a

part 2?

[teleman811]

@udlerman did you even listen to his explanation?

[UltimateDucTape1]

whos that guy without a hat that says hes in streetlight?

[nuggetpopsicle]

They're inside... why is that guy wearing sunglasses?

[BrofistNation]

It must be really sunny in that room for the interviewer to be wearing sunglasses.

Dumbass, Just because they have horns does not make them ska. Streetlight is beyond ska.
