Leah: Thank you for taking time out of you day for this interview.
Trace: The pleasure is all mine
*Such a flirt*
Leah:Out of all the instruments, what led you to like drums the best? If you could pick any other
instrument to play what would it be?
Trace: When
I was little, I was always banging on pots and pans with wooden spoons. My mom
thought it helped me get out my
aggression or anger, so she got me my first drum set. The rest is history, as
they say. Other instrument… well, I can
play the piano/keyboards. I guess I'd like to learn to play the sax or get
better with the guitar.
L: What is
your favorite and worst celebrity that you have meet?
T: Lzzy Hale
from Halestorm. She is hella crazy and so much fun. Her brother too.
L: If you
were not a musician, what would you be?
T: Hell, I
don't know. All I've ever wanted to be was a musician. Underground fighter
maybe.
L: Out of
all the girls in the world, what made Meggie stand out to you?
T: Her
personality. She doesn't hide what she's feeling and she doesn't pretend to be
someone she's
not. I love that she's so real. On top of that she's smokin' hot.
L: What is
your favorite thing about Meggie?
T: Her
bounce when she's happy. It's like she just can't keep that much happiness
contained in her tiny body. It's cute.
L: Is Meggie
the one?
T: Yeah, she is.
L: The fans
what to know the answer to this so don’t kill me. I know that you were in a
band before but if they asked you to come back would you?
T: No.
Without question, no. They screwed up so big when they let drugs take over and
edge out the music. I don't want to be around anyone like that and I know Blush
will never go in that direction.
L: What is
your favorite part about working in Blush?
T: Everyone
participates when writing songs—both the lyrics and the music. We didn't do
that in my last band.
L: What is
your favorite thing to do in you down time?
T: Bang Meggie. Trace chuckles. She's going to
hit me for that. We go hiking, to the beach. We're usually pretty active. I
guess I should have just said spending time with Meggie.
L: What is
it like living in Casa Falling Down?
T: Meggie
and I have our own place. We're the only ones other than Sera and Cage. I don't
think I could live there 24/7. Way too much chaos and I like my privacy.
L: What is
the worst part about being a musician?
T: The tour
buses. They can be luxurious and top of the line, but they're cramped and you
have zero privacy. After a show, everyone's sweaty and fighting for the shower.
So, yeah. The bus.
L: How do
you handle the pressure of being a musician?
T: I just go with it. I've never really given it
any thought. I just go out there to play music. Yeah, we get those crazy fans
who come up to you in the middle of a tattoo or haircut and ask for an
autograph, but I'd have done the same thing when I was a kid if I'd seen a
musician I liked.
L: What was
your first tat? Where and when?
T: My first
tat was this one here on my right upper arm of the skulls. I was 17 when I got
that one.
L: Were you
as shocked as the girls were when you found out that Xander was married?
T: Not
really. I knew there was something going on with the guy that no one else knew
or talked about. Now it's a matter of finding out just what the hell happened
there. I'm sure it's going to be something big.
L: Thank you again for coming today and Happy Thanksgiving.
T: Thank you for having me and you too.
That was intense but very informative as well. I am excited that I got to interview Trace. If you want me to do a follow up with Trace or an interview with other Rockstar characters let me know in the comments. If you missed the other interviews that I did the link for them will be below. Have a good Thanksgiving.
