Mike's turn now... Welcome Mike! Any comments for the fans?
Gotti13_Mike: Just want to say hi everybody! It's great to chat
with you all. Whats up!?
oh_my_Gotti asks: When did you start as a
group? Gotti13_Mike: I got together with Chris and Tommy in
late 1998. We snuck into a record industry party and met the right people! In
early 1999 we hooked up with Henry and the chemistry was there so here we
are!
OtownAngel1067 asks: Who is the biggest flirt of the
group?
Gotti13_Mike: I would say me! We all love to flirt
and make girls laugh. All the guys do. We love to see the girls
smile.
Bryna asks: Hey!! This is Bryna again...But I know this is a
little ahead of time but are ya'll going to the Teen Night at HOB March
17th?
Gotti13_Mike: March 17th? Well, we have not really
thought that far ahead. Please check the website: www.gotti13.net. We may decide
last minute to go so you can find the info there.
Jenifer asks:
Mike...what's the best part about being in the band?
Gotti13_Mike: Letting my alter ego come out on stage and I just
totally go crazy and nuts out there, I am a different person on stage and love
to see the fans screaming and their faces light up.

Gotti13_Mike: NO COMMENT!!! But Henry caught on
fire...

working on it now.
oh_my_Gotti asks: Who'd be the mole of your
group?
Gotti13_Mike: The Mole would be... Tommy. He's the
one who would least be expected to.

would you stand in line for tickets the longest?
gotti13_Mike: Toss up between Bon Jovi... and
Aerosmith!

Gotti13_Mike: It's between me and Tommy. I'd go with me... cause
I'd give jokes just to get a cheap laugh!
Jinx25Gotti13 asks: Who do
you admire most in the music industry?

Anybody who's still around for a while and has stuck with it. Anyone who's had a
love for the industry and has been here for a while.

do you see yourself more on top 40 or rock radio stations??
Gotti13_Mike: Both. I enjoy music! I see us as... like... Greenday
with melodic '50s riffs.
