We chose these over others for a couple reasons: 1) some questions has been obviously answered through previous interviews. 2) some question were rather trivial 3) some questions were revised into different questions to open them up for broader discussion Thank you to everyone who responded with questions. We have given credit to you whose questions we have used by putting your name at the bottom. Those without a name were either revised from a suggested question or felt necessary enough to add to the list. I hope you'll all recognize the diversity of the questions; we've tried to incorporate a broad range of subjects. I am unable to say when a response might be issued, but when I receive it from Melora, you all will be the first to know!!!! Thanks to Kat and Katie for helping me edit the questions! -Chris Our questions: 1) "How long will Agniezska be away from the band, and what can you tell us about her current replacement, Nana?" 2) "Can you give specifics (dates, locations, venues) for your upcoming tour, and, keeping in mind much of your fans are under the age of 21, do you plan many all-age shows?" 3) "When you girls entered the dead to the world tour with Marilyn Manson, it seemed the only person who felt secure in stardom was Manson himself.
