(Blabbermouth) HOOBASTANK singer Doug Robb has told MTV.com that the band's brand-new song "If I Were You ..." , which may end up being the title track of the group's next album, was written from a couple of seemingly unrelated experiences: watching ESPN and touring with VELVET REVOLVER.
" 'If I Were You ...' was really inspired by, um, the NHL strike. Not like 'Oh, I'm going to write a song about hockey!' but watching all that — and going on tour with VELVET REVOLVER — you see all these guys who have so much and don't appreciate it," he said. "They seem to have forgotten where they came from. Actually, let me rephrase that: Four of those guys were the coolest ever, one of them is just in his own world. And I'll leave it at that."[Wonder who that might be? see full story for more]
