eternally yours ricky's version: LIAR
Guuys his bridge in undead ahead 2 isn't so bad either!!
@@cathyponcza3405 truee
I perfer Rickeys version of that song just makes me horridly miss devin thats all
who wants to see a zoom meeting with the whole band?
YESS
i see ricky & i click. very very simple concept.
Ricky Olson the CEO of "I don't know..."
Why is this so funny to me lmfaoo
It's amazing to see a band member take so much time out of their day to care about and keep fans updated.
This whole world right now is a big giant “I don’t know” 😂😂.
I love how everyone was spamming "🐸" in the livechat 😂
Yeah what was that about?!
Ricky Frogness : D xD
🐸
That was fun lol
When is MIW going to do another Cops episode? That's literally one of my favorite youtube videos to watch!! 💙
yass hahah
OG’s remember
When asked about Ricky Horror I thought you were going to look dead into the camera and say, "I killed him."
Off the deep end is just as good. 🤣
Ricky is so adorable that I'm not able to concentrate on any of the content... I've even lost awareness that I'm in quarantine right now myself...
Ì miss you iam come ing la
i would love to hear just ricky on a podcast i genuinely enjoyed listening to him talk in this
I could listen to him talk all day ❤
Ricky is such an adorable person
My puppy loves your guys music and he always wants to watch all motionless in white music videos by all . I MEAN EVERY SINGLE ONE
Question: What are the best ways to support you as a band during these times while all Shows are cancelled?
Good question. The best way to support us at any point will always be through merchandise. However, these are trying times and the entire country is taking a hit. It's very nice of you to worry about supporting, but we want you guys to take care of yourselves more than anything. Please be safe.
As a musician I can say : Buy their M E R C H
They had a MIW crew shirt for sale last month and the proceeds from that were given to the crew! I bought one! But honestly buy merch to support them
Thank you so much for your answer! I tried buying merch, but I live in Germany - it's one of the countries that isn't delivered by the MIW shop at the moment. But good to know that buying merch definitley helps - i will stock up my collection as soon as it's possible again. Until then I hope loooots of spotify listens will support you somehow, too :-)
@@RickyOlson Y'all keep putting out such awesome merch I just keep buying it lol
Can Chris motionless do a Q&A ???
Chris did a Q&A with radio host Jose Mangin back in May. Look it up
th-cam.com/video/fyhnAWzrY_I/w-d-xo.html
Question: will you ever do another “cover” of one of MIW’s songs? (Like Eternally Yours) I think Another Life would be really cool! 🖤🖤
He looks so cute 🥺🥰😂
ricky always with his mind in the gutter i love it
I just realy want you to read this your music has helped me through alot of stuff dealing with being bullied and i just realy appreciate you and your music also my names Haley
Hey Haley, I'm really glad to hear that. Keep pushing through it- everything is impermanent.
@@RickyOlson thank you so mutch for responding and im so happy you respoded im kinda happy crying right now and what you said to me i will always remember!💜
Ricky,
All I can say is thank you so very much for your time! My family and I deeply appreciate you taking time out of your life (even though we are quarantined) to answer fans questions. I have been a MIW fan for at least 10 years and I have always respected MIW but your time and words made me respect you even more! Looking forward to the next Q&A. Thank you again.
This is awesome to read, thank you. I appreciate that. Stay safe!
You're welcome Ricky and thank you. Stay safe and sain as possible!
Son una de mis bandas favoritas y encerio me encantan
Saludos desde México
Alguien que habla español :')
Justo pensé en encontrar algún comentario en español y luego aparecen ustedes 😂👌🏻
X2 creí que solo encontraría comentarios en Inglés
MIW una banda chingona 🖤
Al fin ya no tengo que poner algo en inglés :'3
Hi Ricky, I hope you are safe. My question is why don’t you make more guitar solo or something like that? You are such a talented guitarist!!
Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. The thing is- I'm just not a shredder, I don't care about playing solos and I think they're just jerk off shit. 9 times out of 10 they don't add anything to a song other than for people to say "this guy's a really good guitar player"...again, jerk off shit. Just my opinion, others may vary.
Ricky Olson Honestly, I hadn’t thought about this other point of view. In any case, thanks for replying, it makes me very happy and I want to tell you that you are such a great inspiration to me!!!
Don't know about what anyone else thinks, but since the Dragula cover I've always thought a Rob Zombie collab would be fuckin awesome.
I agree.
Brasil Love - Motionless In White ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I live alone, I'm cooking while I hear Ricky's voice in the background responding to people. I feel better now
Would you ever consider doing an acoustic cover of Catharsis like what you did for Eternally Yours? I feel like your voice will fit in really well
YAS
YES, WE WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU RAMBLE FOR AN HOUR!!!!!!
I love you Ricky and you inspired me to play guitar and you are one my favorite guitar player ever I love the hole band but you are my favorite member🖤
Te amo Ricky💕🦇
Thanks Ricky for answering my question on playing in Ireland! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
You guys are so talented and freaking awesome man I love you guys work the band is awesome you’re all very talented. I hope everything works out well for the band.
The prince of the night Ricky !
You are a champion😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏.
Julie.
I hope my question is answered 😬 if not, I’ll try again!
Despite relaxing, has the social distancing given the band more time to write music for the next record and not feel rushed while doing so? If I remember correctly, you guys work apart first, sending riffs, and eventually writing lyrics, then meeting up in the studio.
I didn't see this question come up, but it's a good one. We're not 100% all in on the writing process currently, but I know that all of us individually are working on music... Whether any of that becomes new Motionless is too soon to tell right now. That being said, it's SO nice to write freely without the pressure of "trying to write a record".
Bro, watching this again because I miss the podcast☹️
WHAT. A. BEAUTIFUL. SOUL. THAT. MAN. IS.
I definetly would like to listen to Ricky talking for hours, it's just so relaxing and kind of motivating
Callab with Marilyn Manson 😭😭😭😈😈
Simply angelic Ricky😍😍😍❤❤❤
Disguise is a brilliant album. Another Life and Catharsis are also my favorite 2 songs.
###Edit###
I know some of these questions have been answered in the video (commented before live), thank you for that!
My questions:
What do you think is your greatest achievement as a musician or as a band?
Where do you see MIW in 10 years? (i know it's quite a cliche, just asking about the future of the band)
Any chance to come to Romania?
Will there be any more acoustic songs or covers? (i'd love an EP like that)
Do you intend to do vocals on future songs? (we all need that)
I love every single MIW album and every single MIW song, thank you for engaging with the fans! Stay safe!
Doamne ajuta sa vina la noi:)
You're Still Handsome You're Face Always Will be Memorizing To me (:
dragging back the podcast topic haha and I'm sure you've seen this question a lot but,
would you do a podcast with Chris?
I think it'd be interesting to hear you guys talk about band stories/experiences or really anything!
thanks for the q&a Ricky! Hope you and everyone stay safe :)
I'm not opposed to it at all. We just never got around to it when I was doing it. I think that would be cool, but I don't know when the next time I'll be doing something like that again will be. We'll see. Thank you!
I would love to see u play here in NC...MIW please stay safe...muck love
If shows don't pick back up until fall 2021 I will personally freak the fuck out. I cannot go that long without seeing any concert let alone you guys.
DO THE PODCAST!!!! Please!!! I'm sure other people, including myself, won't care if it's just you talking. Maybe read out something or maybe a murder podcast?
His voice is so relaxing. But still sexy at the same time.
Im pretty sure everyone loved the podcast and i really hope u continue it!
i stopped catching up on the band since 2017 and now that i checked them out again, i’ve always wondered why Ricky doesn’t go by his stage name anymore. i’m glad this finally answers it
Ricky "I don't know what the fuck's going on" Olson lmao
I love you RICKY!!!!
My favorite thing is that you guys have been my best friends for 11 years now.. and you know it but you don't know it? Ya know? Love you all ❤❤
Love from Poland!!!
i love all of miw's music and albums. kind of disappointed someone was like "i didnt like the last two" it hurt my feelings LMAO
Ricky was too kind to that person. I think it's disrespectful to just say "yeah I didn't like it at all" (or something like that). It takes so many time, work, effort, money, etc to make an album! Also, it was unnecessary, they could have just said the first part of the question
Question: What has been one of the most memorable encounters you've had with a fan?
Saw you guys perform in Los Angeles at the Novo for Graveyard Shift, you guys really love to connect with fans (: thank you for what you do!
Please come Turkey when corona finish :) Im from Turkey and i listen everyday MIW since 5 years I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
I will im not gonna die without listen and see MIW LIVE a day :')
"Bothering everyone." 😂😒🤣 the cut killed me I thought you were gonna elaborate.
Hello and greetings from Italy. To have seen you in Milan has been amazing!!!
Q: Why is their a title song for every album named from the album except Graveyard Shift? ex: Reincarnate has the song Reincarnate, Infamous has the song Infamous, why no Graveyard Shift song?
Hmmm, you have a point lol
Chris has said “570” was going to be called Graveyard Shift but he decided 570 due to it being more of an homage to his hometown/area code
You didnt have to give examples I'm pretty sure he knows what a title track is Lol
Chris said that 570 was originally gonna be called graveyard shift
Albums are albums
my question :
What was one of the most stressfull moments in your whole music career?
is there anything you would be doing different if you weren't in motionless ?
favorite concert moment you have ?
favorite equipment you work with during recording sessions ?
Hope you are doing well and are safe ! much love
Most stressful moment? Being in the studio during the writing of Infamous and trying to figure out where the fuck we were going musically. Both Chris and I were on two completely different pages and it got pretty heated.
If I wasn't in the band I'd be doing something film-related.
Favorite concert moment? Playing Seattle at El Corazon 9which is a venue I used to go to growing up), and having one of the wildest shows of our career. Proud dad moment, for sure.
Favorite equipment? I guess I'd have to say my guitar, just because there would be no music without it. Cheap answer, I know, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. I'm sorry.
Likewise, stay safe. Thanks for the questions!
Thank you for the answers! And thank you for being this open to the fans!
My dad lives in Seattle?
I’d like to see you guys collab with asking Alexandria, the story so far or waterparks! Those would be awesome
Yaaaaaa¡¡ rompan el silenciooo¡¡ larga vida!!
I cannot wait for the upcoming tour. I know everything got delayed but everyone staying safe and staying home is the fastest way for us to get back to what we love.
Really enjoyed watching you talk for over an hour and a half. Would you like to do something like this again? Thank you for taking time out of your night (I suppose it was during the night time lol) to make this 🖤
Thanks! It was cool. I'm sure this wont be the last time!
I'd booked for London to celebrate being cancer free after surgery. Hope we see you ASAP. More important to stay safe n healthy. We really need to support gigs and help artists create an income. There's nothing to compare to being present at a show as music is our therapy/escape x
I just watched this on April and look at now
Yes Ricky ramble for a hour.... your voice helps sooth a lot of people. But if you don’t want to, no one is gonna push you hun
Yeah... Just a Ricky olson podcast with Ricky olson..
That would be great, I used to fall asleep to his podcast when I was having a panic attack.
Ricky i know you won’t see this but dark speaks to me. I’ve been watching and I’m almost done with first season. Ricky I feel like I know you better and we could be real friends. You were always my favorite person. Something about you reminded me about me and dark is it. I feel like I’m understanding you now
I love you babyyyy
i dont expect ricky or anyone else to see this or respond to this but i saw you guys back on oct 19th at the rave. before this, i was in a mental hospital impatient program for a suicide attempt. the second song i listened to in the hospital was soft, because we were told to pick a song that made us feel a certain emotion. you guys have been helping me a lot through my shitty mental health and instead of attempting again im willingly going back to the hospital within the next few weeks or so. all of you guys have really helped me through a bunch of shit, and i could give every song youve ever released a reason as to why. like untouchable, it helped me through my rape experience, and eternally yours helped me through the worst break up ive ever gone through, since the relationship was incredibly abusive. enough venting about myself, i hope the band is taking care of themselves. i really wanted to get vip to see you in may , but corona came along. i wouldve gotten it in october but it had sold out by the time i got to it. anyways, i cant wait until this bullshit is over and i can finally meet you guys. again, thank you for everything youve done for me and thousands upon thousands of other people.
eternally yours,
casey
Honduras presente♥️🎉
drinking game take a shot every time ricky says catharsis
Hey Ricky, I was at the epicenter festival in rockingham NC. That was my first time at a concert or a festival and I want to tell you and the rest of the band thank you for the opportunity seeing you guys, it was a great experience
Cool, that's awesome to hear. Glad you had a good time!
"House of leaves" only book that gave Ricky Horror nightmares.
Curious! 😱
I love this. Theres just something about listening to a band member interview. Keep it up!
I love that he doesn’t hide the fact that he enjoys bothering everyone lol
Paraguay presente! 🖤
Acá desde Argentina Br0
i would love for him to start the podcast back up PLEASE
Questions
would you ever do a cover of a band like slipknot or marilyn Manson
What band or musician inspired miw genre
Who does miw try sound like
I love u
We've toyed with the idea, but I think we're too similar of styles. If we did it would probably be for a special occasion.
We have a lot of inspirations from a lot of different realms of music, I'm not sure I can answer this haha.
I think when we were first starting out, we were trying to emulate the bands we loved growing up. Now, I think we're just trying to experiment with being ourselves and what it means to be "motionless". Good question.
hello ricky greetings from Argentina!!
Icky Ricky
Hi Ricky, just wanted to let you know you guys are AWESOME 🖤
Thanks, Kimmy!
I love you Ricky thank you for everything 🖤 keep up the good work 🖤
i enjoyed this immensely, love to hear ur thoughts ricky ur awesome
Thanks for answering my question about living in PA. I think you're very wise.
I’m late, but if I wanted to get lyrics in Chris’s handwriting so that I could get a tattoo done of them, how could I make that happen? I’ve met you guys once, but the security guy told me that they would kick me out if I asked for Chris to write them for me when I met you guys. This is something I’ve been wanting for a few years now and I just feel like it would be very special to get it in Chris’s handwriting. Thank you for all that you do, I have so much love for you guys and your music. I feel so honored to have been able to see you guys live twice and meet you once. Those are some of my favorite moments. Take care 🖤
MIW🖤
You rock MIW
This interviews is a cool way to stay in contact with the fans and during this complicated times I think is something very positive for the fans and for the members of the band off course
Hey Ricky the band is my favorite band and on the face mask thing I think its a really good idea that you give it to the front line people.
Yes to podcast please! Its just so calming to listen to your voice just talking about stuff... just like this.. little QnA or just topics what you want to share with us. please do. Same with your music.. you dont have to do whole album.. just few songs that you sing maybe.
Not a question but I just appreciate your modesty and honesty, I think you're really down to earth and a person I could just talk about everything for hours lol Also your voice is so calming, you should be a lector
I’d love to see a collab between MIW and Poppy.
Being in a band, members come and go, who was the hardest member to watch leave the band and how do you guys find band members after having one leave?
Angelo was definitely the hardest to see go. Usually the people we find are friends or are friends of friends. It's a pretty tight circle in the music world.
thank you for answering our questions. it means a lot to have some kind of connection with you. i love you.
Finished finally, I don’t know why but I’ve been randomly falling asleep lol I have Netflix so I checked out dark. It’s on my list and it does look amazing. Stay ups and peace out 🤘
