Broto Q&A
1. How did you get into The Protomen?
They were at a con I was attending in 2009 (AP), and my best friend’s then-boyfriend really liked them, so we went to the concert. I was 15 at the time, and was terrified by the mosh pit and spent the whole concert gripped to the back of a chair being used as a barricade. It didn’t work so well. I remember thinking the Gambler looked super awesome and badass, but I didn’t really get into them until I actually listened through Act I & II with the liner notes, and I was hooked.
2. How old were you?
15
3. How long have you been a broto?
3 years and counting :)
4. How many shows have you been to?
Last night marked my sixth show, and goddamnit was it memorable.
5. If you were in The Protomen, what would your codename be?
They haven’t decided on mine yet… My current stand-in is The Hussy, but it’s not permanent. I hope XD
6. What would your robot face look like?
Something eye related that I tried to make look cool XD.
7. Protoman or Megaman?
Protoman.
8. Act 1 or Act 2?
I still love Act II just a little more. It’s like comparing apples and oranges, but I just can never get over the transitions on the album. They’re just so well done, and suck you in. And not a whole lot beats Breaking Out. But that’s just me.
9. Favorite robot master?
Heat Man.
10. If you have a favorite song, what is it? Breaking Out. The Hounds. Vengeance. Will of One. Light Up The Night. BEARDS GOING NOWHERE. (I do not play favorites with Protosongs. It’s impossible.)
11. Favorite cover The Protomen have done?
Show Must Go On. I DIED when they played it at the Cleveland show. Also Total Eclipse of the Heart because of the beautiful Gambler. And Death on Two Legs. And Killer Queen. And Don’t Stop Me Now.
12. Storytime! Tell us a story about a concert you’ve been to. If you haven’t been to a concert yet, tell us a different Protomen-related story.
Surprising KILROY by returning the “I’m Watching You” gesture.
“Come on down and buy some socks” at AP 2011.
Waffle House until 4:30 in the morning at A&G 2012.
The entire damn video shoot (and subsequent Beards Going to 7-11).
Panther telling me he almost dragged me up on stage for Light Up The Night at the Columbus show.
Panther giving me a mike during Light Up the Night at the Cleveland show.
All of the Columbus and Cleveland shows.
13. How many friends have you introduced to The Protomen?
At least 20. If I ever see anyone with Megaman anything, the first thing out of my mouth is, “Hey, have you heard of this band…?”
14. Do you have a Protomen tattoo? What is it? If you don’t, what sort of Prototat would you get?
I wish. God, what would be amazing was if I got the inside art from the Queen cover album put somewhere. Or lyrics.
15. Will I be seeing you at the Act 3 release show when it happens? :D
You bet your ass I’ll be there. No exceptions.
