[synan bryan osman]

WELL, BOYS AND GIRLS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. WE HAVE THE ONE AND ONLY SYNAN OSMAN HERE FOR OUR PICKING. NOW, WE'VE GOT A MIXTURE OF BOTH OUR QUESTIONS AND FAN QUESTIONS, THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THAT?

i'm pretty sure i can handle that, yes. -laughs-

ALRIGHT, LET'S START WITH AN EASY ONE! REBECCA FROM NEW YORK WANTS TO KNOW: WHICH FAMOUS MUSICIANS DO YOU ADMIRE AND WHY?

oh, that's definitely a good question. well, i have quite a few, but if we're talking about influences... i'd have to say slash from guns n' roses. i use his work as a starting point for all of my solos and what not. he's one of the most genius men out there in the music world. definitely a fan of led zeppelin, jimmy page. amazing band. van halen, ac/dc. that kind of stuff.

MOSTLY OLD SCHOOL ROCK THEN, HUH?

yeah. pretty much all that i listen to.

THE BEST STUFF THEN. ALRIGHT, HANNA IN POMONA, CALIFORNIA WANTS TO KNOW: HOW DO YOU HANDLE MISTAKES DURING A PERFORMANCE?

these kids are good. um... i really just pray to god that no one noticed and keep on going like it didn't happen. unless it's a brutal mistake, like that time i fell and there's no covering up that. but if it's just a note slip, i'll pick up where i should be and smile apologetically before continuing on.

SO... NO SERIOUSNESS LIKE: "ALRIGHT, LET'S START OVER."?

no, never. i'm high maintenance, sure, but i'm not that bad.

COOL, COOL. DO YOU TEACH MUSIC?

i did some teaching stuff on my off time before black sunshine, but it wasn't anything major. it was a side job sort of thing. now becks and i do the tutorial things for online videos. not a whole lot of breaking down the notes and most just slowing down the song and making it easier to follow. still, i hear that the tutorials are even too fast. -laughs-

THEY ARE PRETTY FAST. I'VE SEE A COUPLE. ALRIGHT, SO, DO YOU MIND ME GETTING PERSONAL?

naw. throw 'em at me. i hold the right to say no, though. -smirks-

FAIR ENOUGH. YOU'RE BISEXUAL, YES?

absolutely.

DO YOU PREFER MEN OR WOMEN?

i've never really had a preference. until recently, of course. now i'm much more interested in the male species. -winks-

OH! IS THERE A CERTAIN SOMEONE WHO HAS MADE YOU LEAN THIS WAY? MAYBE A CERTAIN CAT BY THE NAME OF... OH, I DON'T KNOW. JOVANY?

-laughs loudly- oh god, no i mean, he's a good looking guy and i love him to death, but we're just friends: brothers even.

YOUR FANS WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT.

oh, i know. i've never really cared too much about it, though. if i was dating him, i'd be sure to tell everyone. he's a catch, after all. very good looking. -winks-

HE IS A VERY GOOD LOOKING GUY. BUT NOW, ALL THE FAN GIRLS WANT TO KNOW...

and boys, but oh damn... the dreaded question.

OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO ANSWER IT?

naw, i'll answer. fire away.

RIGHT THEN. ARE YOU DATING ANYONE?

all those fan boys and girls better keep their hands to themselves because, yes, i am dating someone.

OH! OH! WHO?!

wow. don't lose your professional cool or anything.

OH DEAR. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. -LAUGHS- I'M JUST... CURIOUS TO KNOW MYSELF.

you'll know it due time, no worries.

AWW, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TELL US?

nope. 'cause it looks like we're out of time anyway. people to see and things to do, ya know.

FUDGE. WELL, IT WAS NICE SEEING YOU, SYN. HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.

-stands and shakes her hand- yes, i hope to see you again soon as well.
