VAMPS Live 2013 Los Angeles Pre-Show Interview
Today is a very special day because VAMPS is going to play an awesome show tonight at the House of Blues in Los Angeles! Not only am I super excited for that, but I am also excited to present to you guys a pre-show interview! I got to sit down with HYDE and K.A.Z and had a nice little chat. Enjoy!



Jason: First off, HYDE, thank you for doing the interview with us a month ago. It’s great to have K.A.Z finally join us! Again, I’m Jason. Thank you for doing this interview with me. It’s a true honor. I’ve been a fan of you guys for about 10 years now. It was difficult to come up with good questions to ask because I’m very nervous and excited!

Jason: Let us begin. HYDE and K.A.Z., you and your team have been to LA many times. What are some places that you must visit when you come to LA?

HYDE: I always go to Guitar Center. Yesterday, I went to Burton.

K.A.Z: Relatively speaking, Venice Beach is a common visit.

Jason: Did Venice Beach inspire you to write any songs?

K.A.Z: Yeah, I suppose when you go to a different environment it makes it easier to write songs. Since it’s quite refreshing.

Jason: Is there a particular spot that inspired you to write a certain song that’s already out?

K.A.Z: For the most part, I write in Japan. But I come to LA often, so there are times I get ideas while I’m here. I find myself in more instances of listening to the radio here, so I’ll sometimes hear a song and think, “Oh, I’d write it like this,” and record my ideas on my phone.

Jason: Did you go bike riding in Venice Beach?

HYDE: Yeah, I used to go bike riding a lot in the past. I have also skateboarded and rollerbladed. I really like the vibe of the area.

Jason: Did you guys buy any new guitars at Guitar Center?

HYDE: Not this time, since we have enough (laughs).
