Hey, what's up?
Blueprint here and this is my dream tour lineup.
Definitely it would be cool for us to be opening up for the night.
Four to five bands I can kind of think of right off the top of my head would definitely
be State Champs.
They're a huge inspiration to me and they're the reason why I started writing all I've
done in the EP and the record.
Probably Knucklepuck because they're so much fun to watch and I love them so much and their
music personally.
Real Friends because both Knucklepuck and Real Friends are both local boys from Illinois
so I love the fact that they're both from Illinois just like we are.
The next one would be Sleep On It.
I believe they're from Chicago too and I love their band as well so they're a big inspiration
to me in that scene.
And to finish it all off, I don't know, I grew up listening to a lot of boys like girls
in cartel so there's this band called In Her Own Words which is really, really cool.
Their lead singer kind of sounds like the guy from cartel so it would probably be State
Champs, Knucklepuck, Real Friends, Sleep On It and In Her Own Words.
So that's my dream tour lineup and if I could be playing that lineup I would be even more
excited.
Alright, so this is my dream tour.
First off we have to have Blueprint.
I'd be playing guitar in every band that's on this lineup obviously.
So we'd start with Blueprint, have some fun.
Probably next on the bill I'd want a band called The Gospel Youth on the bill.
They're a band out of the UK.
Their singer got into some weird stuff but I still love that band.
I love their sound, their songs are fantastic.
Right after them I'd probably get some bigger-ish bands on there.
I listen to all sorts of music from John Mayer to Periphery to everything so probably next
I'd have Periphery on there.
Huge inspiration to me there, Misha Mansour, Mark Holcomb, everybody in that band.
They're fantastic guitar players.
They're such a big inspiration to my playing, such a big inspiration to my writing.
Even though I do play in a pop-punk band, man metal has some big ties in my life and
big ties into who I am.
So as far as all those crazy rhythmic stuff, that's in there.
So Periphery, it would start off with Blueprint, The Gospel Youth, Periphery and then I'd kind
of kick it up, or slow it down a little bit maybe with some like John Mayer, have Mr.
John Mayer come up there.
I love him, I love his guitar playing.
After John I'd probably have Pink Floyd, have them end the night with Comfortably Numb,
some fantastic songs off the wall.
I love David Gilmour, he's a big inspiration to me, blues and metal.
I'm kind of a culmination of everything between blues, metal, punk, everything.
So if there was a show that would be my dream tour it would be every genre, everybody from
The Gospel Youth, punk, Periphery, metal, John Mayer, a little bit softer pop stuff
and then end the night with some Pink Floyd, bluesy, atmospheric.
That would be my dream tour.
