guest-Kawakita_47 says: Do you think that being brothers helps you stay together as a band?
Scott_Moffatt: Yeah, I think so.
Scott_Moffatt: I think that since we are brothers, its a lot more difficult to say that "I'm gone" ....it has to be a group decision.
Scott_Moffatt: There is more of a family vibe.

guest-LilMsMoffatt says: My friend Jenn would like to know if different countries embraced you more than others as a music group?
Bob_Moffatt: Well I think obviously wherever we are more popular there will be more embraces...Some places are a little more bizare and crazy than others..
Bob_Moffatt: but one thing about our fans is that they are loyal, they stick with us for years and years and thats awsome!
guest-SailorJupiter135 says: For Bob & Clint - How many times did you pretend to be each other when you were younger? Did you ever manage to fool your parents =) ?
Bob_Moffatt: I don't think so, we only went to school until the third grade, we could've when we were younger....
Bob_Moffatt: We all have the same hairdos...we purposely dressed the same, so that we could be spotted easily in big crowds, but that was back then.
guest-ZoogyDreamer83 says: do any of you have girlfriends?
Bob_Moffatt: At this moment we are all single.

Bob_Moffatt: But personal experiences a good to use.

guest-wheresthemoffs says: hey guys..cant wait to see you tommorow in nyc..whats your fav part of playing live?
Bob_Moffatt: Well I think its cause we can express ourselves through our fans. It doesn't have to be the same old thing. We can improvise as we play live. But we are not just about vocals, we entertain, but dont' dance.
Bob_Moffatt: It separates us from the other groups.
Bob_Moffatt: Thanks for chatting with me all!!
Zoogerator: Now we've got Dave with us!
guest-Kacy4185 says: Most infamous siblings fight, do you find it that being together SO much makes you fight more? -Kacy from Oklahoma-

guest-starstruck29 says: Written all over my heart is a great song! Where did you come up with the idea for the song?

Dave_Moffatt: We thought we had a great melody and so we decided to record it.
guest-daffodell says: If you as a group could do anything you wanted to, would it still be singing?
Dave_Moffatt: Well I think that we'd still be in the music business.
Dave_Moffatt: But I do think that we will be singing for a long time.
Dave_Moffatt: If I didn't, then I would probably be producing or well, I like to paint, so it might be that.
guest-Wrae1979 says: When you go to places, do every see people that look like you have meet them before? Jenni, Ohio

guest-CT_Copyright_ME says: Do you think that being so popular has become a regular thing, like are you used to all of the attention?
Dave_Moffatt: Its become a regular thing, but we dont' consider us being famous. We consider ourselves entertainers.
Dave_Moffatt: Making people happy, but not famous.
Dave_Moffatt: -)
guest-CJMyst says: What's the most intersting country you've been to?
Dave_Moffatt: All the countries that we've been to are different and interesting.
Dave_Moffatt: But my favorite country has to be Spain.
Dave_Moffatt: And the Philippines.
Dave_Moffatt: There's a lot more poverty over there and the climate is different, than Canada. The people are nice there and they welcomed us with open arms. We've been there 4 times now.

guest-CT_Copyright_ME says: Describe yourself in one word?
Clint_Moffatt: Serious.
Clint_Moffatt: Short tempered.
Clint_Moffatt: How many words was this? ROFL
Clint_Moffatt: Whenever something doesn't go my way, I can't hold it in, but its healthy for the band, you have to have one like that in the band.... :-)
guest-GILO3024 says: CLINT IS IT TRUE THAT YOU HAVE THE BEST COUNTRY VIOCE OF THE GROUP?

Clint_Moffatt: When we switch instruments, its for playing for the audience.
Clint_Moffatt: Its the popular thing to do in Europe. We just wanted to do something different for the crowds.
Clint_Moffatt: For the public you would swap them, its funny cause people dont' even know that you are playing playback.
Clint_Moffatt: You really can't do any TV shows in the US without playing live.
guest-moffatt330 says: Who is the most serious out of the group? - Melinda, Wisconsin
Clint_Moffatt: We can all be really serious at times.
Clint_Moffatt: I'm very serious most of the time.
