metallichick_99: What style of music do you class yourselves as?
Amir: We don't. Dark, melodic pop.
SavedByZero77: YO AMIR! What is your music education? Or did you just learn as you went along?
Amir: I'm self taught, but I did go to UCL as well though.
Alison16_99: What do you like most about your fans?
Amir: That they're really nice, friendly and they're cool.
Eveblacck: What were you guys doing before you became involved in Orgy? How and when did you get into the scene?
Amir: All of us have been musicians and played in various bands. Jay and I are also producers, Ryan was a hairdresser. We've all been involved in music for quite a while. We've all been friends with Jay for a long time and it was just sort of a natural progression for us together, because of what Orgy is. Everyone seemed to fit the puzzle.
GlamFIEND: Do you guys always wear makeup/dress stylish or is it just for the shows?
Amir: We wear more make up on stage and in videos, because we want it to be seen well. But no, we don't wear make up off-stage all the time.
Drum_mann: What's the best thing about being so famous?
Amir: I'm not sure. Let me tell you when I find out.
Days21 asks: how long have u know each other?
Amir: Some of us have known each other for over ten years, others for just the last couple of years.
LancsGrl6: Why did you name the album "CANDYASS"?
Amir: We just thought it was an appropriate name, kind of a joke. It's named after a drag queen. We thought it would be kinda funny because we play hard music, but we wear make up like we're Nancy Boys. It just fit.
a1c0hol: Who are the band's musical role models?
Amir: Everybody from Duran Duran to Korn.
the_Cumaean_Sibyl: Has performing your songs repeatedly made the emotions that went into it less intense?
Amir: No, I think it actually makes it better.
Magenta161: Do ya'll visit websites dedicated to Orgy?
Amir: Yes, we do. We don't have a lot of time online lately. Because we're in hotel rooms. Right now we haven't been able to do online stuff like answer people's emails and surf. When I'm at home, I go online every day pretty much.
SalmAngel2: Is it demeaning that there are so many fans obsessed with your looks and not the music?
Amir: Maybe the music gets through to them as well. Everybody likes bands or music for different reasons. We work hard at having an interesting image....so if that's what attracts them, then lets hope they then hear the music too.
the_Cumaean_Sibyl: The European dates were taken off your webpage, so I'm assuming that means you're no longer playing those dates. Why is that?
Amir: We had to cancel those dates for now, we will definitely be going to Europe but in August or September. There was some conflicts with some shows here in the States and we are making a new video for "Stitches," so that had to put the European trip on hold. We also wanted to make sure we could concentrate on that fully and make sure it happened like we wanted it to happen.
whitney2169: Are you working on a new cd?
Amir: We are always working on new material and we're playing a new song in the set called "Sonic," but no, there's no recording for us in sight for at least a few months.
Saint_No_More: Hey Orgy, how do you like being on Elementree?
Amir: It's awesome. It's a record label run by musicians for musicians, so you couldn't get a better situation.
Cloud_9_14: Amir, I love your make up - it rocks! Have you always worn make up? If so, in high school did you get made fun or for wearing it?
Amir: I never wore make-up in high school. No I haven't always worn it, but there are definitely times when I have.
Gimme_ORGY: Who or what are your favorite animated characters?
Amir: Probably 'South Park' characters right now...Jay likes Aeon Flux, I know that.
refusioner: ORGY who are you guys most heavily influenced by? Industrial bands or electronic or ???
Amir: Actually, we're influenced by it all 70s-90s, rock, industrial, dance, punk, goth...
LBorgyKoRn143 asks: have u guys ever considered acting?
Amir: Actually, I'm sure, yea, probably...not me, I have no interest....I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other guys did that.
cherry4vr: If you could die listening to one song, what would it be?
Amir: I'm not gonna die...I'd listen to "Never Gonna Die" by RoughCut *lol*
LBorgyKoRn143: What do u guys do on ur spare time?
Amir: Talk, shop for clothes, go to the movies, party, spend time with our families, work, work, work. We like to have fun, do normal stuff like everybody does....
Anna_Belle65: What kind of guitar does Amir play?
Amir: I have three different ones, two custom made Jackson guitars, I have a couple of Parker guitars and I have a couple of Roland guitars. That's whatI'm currently using on stage.
GlamFIEND: What's the best rumour that you've heard about yourselves?
Amir: That Jay and I are dating.
Aisha13_99: What's your favorite song to perform?
Amir: It always changes....Probably "Gender."
Sita_the_Vampyre: What's it like when people ask you about your band name?
Amir: We usually get tired of answering the question, but we condemned ourselves. It's not a sexual reference, but it's more about the collage of sounds and styles in our lifestyle. We created a lifestyle out of it. It's pretty funny, because a lot of parents come to the shows and we haven't had as many problems with the name and the parents as I thought we would. They've [the parents] have actually been pretty cool.
Phaedra6669: How do you feel about manson and twiggy dissing you?
Amir: Are they dissing us? Should we care? Thanks it was great, you guys had some good questions. Keep up the good questions for Ryan, who's taking over for me. I'll still be in the room with Ryan, so he can turn to me, if you still have anything to clear up with me.
Ryan: Hey everyone, it's Ryan. How are you? I'm glad to be here.
SavedByZero77: GUYS! How do you write your songs? Does one write the lyrics, another write the melody, etc. How?
Ryan: There's no formula. Jay usually writes the lyrics. If someone has an idea, we usually just then build on it till it's finished.
Ldude916: Ryan, you are my favorite. Who is your favorite performer?
Ryan: Thank you. There's a lot of performers that I really like. Korn is one of my favorite bands to watch live. That's a really hard question, I have outstanding show memories for so many different bands. I have so much respect for so many bands and musicians. It's very hard to say.
OrgyKoRn_2000: Ryan: What was the best part of the campus tour?
Ryan: The chick factor in this is definitely strong. It's fun to have a bunch of girls around. It's great to go to smaller towns and stuff that we wouldn't normally get to play because of the uniqueness of this tour. That's why we did this tour, so we could go to these great hideaways.
stabbing_orgy_nails: Ryan, have you ever done any guest appearances on other bands albums?
Ryan: I sang on a Coal Chamber remix of "Sway." There's nothing other than that. I've played on some other stuff from around L.A., but none of it's out yet.
Aisha13_99 : Ryan what's the weirdest gift you have ever received from a fan?
Ryan: We got a SM video that these people made themselves to give to us.
starlette051: Ryan, what was the first tattoo you ever got, and was it an original?
Ryan: The first tattoo is the one on my right shoulder and it's a comic book character Purgatory, but it's modified. I collect comic books and I like them better than real life girls, they're so badass. *lol* They never treat me bad. *lol*
DeathPopDiva: Hey Ryan hun! How does it feel to go form a hairdresser to a well known and wanted Rock star?
Ryan: *lol* I'm still a hairdresser, but I only have five clients now, the idiots in my band. It was a cool job, going on press shoots and meeting all sorts of cool people you normally wouldn't.
Cloud_9_14: Ryan, if you had a seance how would you contact?
Ryan: I don't think those work, but there's no-one I really want to talk to. I suppose I might ask those kids from Denver what they were thinking.
akorn87: Does it ever bug when you jut want to go to the movies and the fans are in your face?
Ryan: Actually, I was amazed at dark theatre the last two times we were out, people came up to us. It's kinda new, and it's not bugging me yet. As long as people are nice, we're pretty happy with it.
OrgysGirly: Ryan, do you have anything else pierced besides your eyebrow?
Ryan: *lol* No, but I have my ears pierced, it's just that my earrings are out.
ohio_babydoll: What is the next video?
Ryan: "Stitches." It'll be out soon too.
OrgyMusicGirl: R; Why did you cut off all of your beautiful brown curls?
Ryan: Who is this and how do you know me from home? I cut my hair because I change my style so often. It's not that I like or dislike long hair, I just like hair. I think this is the longest time I've had one color in my hair.
Cleo0110: What kind of things do you like to do in your free time?
Ryan: Read, sci-fi flicks, I read a lot, hanging out with my friends, I have a severe alcohol problem and spend time with my girlfriend. I play video games too.
CandyassedBee: Ryan, where is your favorite place to play a gig? (State?) ,p> Ryan: I would have to give a couple. We played South Dakota and we had a phenomenal show...We played Columbus and it was awesome. Every time we keep going places it keeps topping the last. We went to NYC the last four times and loved it, fans loved it and the crowd was great. I really have a lot of places I like to play, L.A. is not one of them.
OrgysGirly: *Ryan* What was like posing for Calvin Klein?
Ryan: It was cool, I got to work with photographer Stephen Klein. I spent so much money on fashion magazines these last few years, mostly because of the photography. I wish band photos were as cool as these fashion photos. It was different and definitely fun. They wanted to picture of Orgy as we are, we didn't get dressed, it was really cool.
PUNK_CHIK_15: if you could perform with any other band who would it be and why?¿
DiZzYfIeNdDisSeNtIoN: This is a question everyone wants to know...r u guys goin to be on the Family Values 99 tour?
Ryan: Good question, I don't think so. Maybe the one after it. They wanna keep the lineup changing for Family Values, and the only repeat is rumoured to be Limp Bizkit, but that's only a rumor. I think we're doing our own tour. I think that's a better possibility. We're working on a tour right now with Videodrone. We really, really appreciate all the opportunities you fans have given us to meet and talk with you. You're the only reason we get to do this, so thank you. We love you.
