Hi, Josh! Some of these issues may seem strange, but know: we have no complaints, these are fans tried ! First of all, tell me what your expectations from Russia do you have? You probably think that we still have a perestroika and bears along the streets?
Haha, yes no .. I have never been to Russia. This will be my first visit to you in Twenty One Pilots. But from the seventh grade I dreamed of visiting your country. So I am very excited that I will finally manage to come and feel like part great culture. Of course, I can not imagine what to expect from you. But I would not want to rely only on someone's jokes, bikes and video - it is important for me to get your own experience. It is impossible to understand someone else's culture, while you yourself are not visiting this country. So I really look forward to the trip and I want to find any, meet cool people... In general, I am ready for adventure!
What rumors or myths about Russia do you first come to mind? For example, about vodka ...
I'm trying right now to remember anything, but nothing is remembered. But I met a lot of Russians, they were all very kind. So I think I will get acquainted with you with a bunch of good people.
And whose was the idea - to come to Russia? Does your manager or decided to visit such a dangerous place? Maybe adrenaline wanted?
Hehe! When Tyler and Tyler with music, we traveled a lot to the native state of Ohio, where they were born and grew. But once we agreed that when we all succeed, we will definitely begin to travel with a big scope. So it came out, we began to richly rude in the world and now we want to visit as much cool places as possible! And to the conversation about what Russia will be: I think she will be amazing!
What do you do first, when will you get out of the plane in Moscow?
First of all, I will probably find your best coffee And I will be abundantly refilled to be a flaw. I love coffee, you know.
We approve! What do you know about Russian music? Listen to any of our performers?
Good question. I am sure that someone accurately heard, but now I will not remember. Maybe you will advise anything?
No problem! U "Just a tradition: when famous performers Come to Moscow, we show them the best Russian clips. If you are not against, we will invite you to this transmission and you will most closely meet Russian music.
Yeah, cool!
Well, we will contact your manager and try to organize a meeting. And what kind of music itself in lately Litished?
Hmm ... yes I don't know what I listened for last year... Sometimes I turn on old plates - those groups from which the ballad in high school. I recently chased Rage Against The Machine and. Sometimes I can listen to Opera, even Pop. Type Green Day.. Or just relaxing music, without words. In general, I listen much.
To the conversation about the words. Do you remember the texts of all your songs by heart?
If I remembered all our songs, I would have been complicated. By heart, of course, no. But I am preparing for the show.
Which drummers consider to be their idol?
A lot of those. A bunch of professionals helped me to master the drums while I did not find my style.
The world's world success from Ohio Twenty One Pilots puzzled everyone, including it seems to be his participants. Thaler Joseph and Josh Dan degraded with tattooes and black paint, as if those who came out of the posters from the Bravo magazine of the 2005 sample, quietly produced the albums and slowly increased their "click of skeletons" (so they call them fans themselves). How suddenly their sarafinged hit " Stressed Out."Sound on all the radio stations of the planet, and the song" Heathens "was in the soundtrack of a loud summer blockbuster" Square Squirth ". In general, now it is they who belong to the hearts of adolescents, hungry on beautifully reflexing cumin with tunnels in the ears.
The program writing Twenty One Pilots, Track "Stressed Out", was released in April last year. But the hype around him began with the intake for about six months. Since then, he has been viewed more than 650 million times.
On tour in Russia
In general, the Tyler with Tyler has long dreamed of arriving at you. We know a lot of cool Russians, we are waiting for something unforgettable. In turn, I promise to beat the drums with all my might!
On the handshake from the clip "Stressed Out"
We came up with five years ago. They sat at the hotel room at four in the morning, could not sleep and then such: "And let's come up with a secret handshake? It must have all the best friends, right? " Since then, every time you greet. After the clip, however, this is no longer a secret. But I will not teach anyone: let's come up with your option with your best friend.
About the film "Squares suicides", the main topic of which was the track "Heathens"
Listen, well, in person personally, the film is entertained, and this is the main thing. I generally love movies about superhero. And I never come to them overly critically: it's just the opportunity to disconnect from reality for a couple of hours and relax.
About supercans
I would like to be able to run very quickly. At least 50 miles per hour.
About reading
The best that I have read recently was tweet Holca Hogan: "Kevin Owens and Hey.J.Stiles, remember: To the WWE, everyone demolished the tower, you need to disrupt from Eric Yanga pants and leave it in some" Spiddle "(American RESTLERS. - Approx. ed.).
About fear and uncertainty
The more adult becomes, the more you start to worry. Anxiety grows over the years - my doctor once compared it with an eruption of a volcano. At all, the main problem In the fact that it is often difficult to understand, because of what exactly you are worried. For me, music has always been best antidepressant and replaced psychotherapy. I am sure that I am far from one.
About the most fun colleagues
We toured with a lot of artists - from Fall Out Boy to Echosmith. Who is more fun? Last summer, I celebrated my birthday in New Hampshire with Mutemath and Chef'special Group. So here I ate pudding from "Oreo" and drove it with a cake from "Oreo" - and it was probably my most wild day birth in life.
How to maintain healthy relationships in the team, where only two participants
What do we do if you quarrel? Honestly, we just don't quarrel at all. It is important here that we were already good friendsWhen you started playing together. We respect each other each other, which is very important when you spend so much time together.

Josh grew up in a religious family (by the way, like Tyler), which did not prevent him from doing music. Parents have always supported the passion of the Son and even highlighted him a room in the basement under musical Studio.where Josh squatted for hours, loying on his drums.
Josh is not musical education And everything that he learned, he reached independently, using the rollers of other musicians, found on the Internet as a guide. There was a time when he didn't even have his own shock installation And he walked to train at the nearest music store.
Josh's aggressive game on the drums threatened him to spread on the drum bears and then Zildjian, which produces musical equipment suggested that he was made by an individual order reinforced (and slightly elongated) drumsticks. Later, the model was launched into mass production.
In Russian-speaking Tusovka, Josh received the nickname "Kazakh", with light hands one online user who wrote a message in the style of "help identify the clip", where called the main characters of the video "Boy with dirty neck"And" Kazakh "🙂 after that came ...
At all concerts, Josh performs its crown number - flip back with the piano. Permanent visitors to the speeches of the group so they are accustomed to this that everyone is already waiting for this number and Josh is not to choose ...
Josh is confessed in natural modesty and this explains that the first time performed at concerts in a variety of masks (including Balaclava). Later he managed to partially defeat this shyness and in this moment Only red eyes and bright chapels remained from the previous costume.
At concerts, in addition to Salto, Josh has another crown number - crowdserving with drum installation. Those who have seen say that the spectacle is outstanding.
Tyler and Josh periodically troll about homosexual preferences. The guys show the utterly indifference to these hints, and sometimes they begin to pinch and pour oils themselves into the fire. What you can't do to give the public scratching languages \u200b\u200b...
