it is an amazing feelin to be able to have a resurgence. As far as the new guys thsi is an killer experience as to only playing locally in chicago
rasheednp3 karma
Touring with Nonpoint is quite different than it was with Inn Cinema, lots more shows away from home way more but the one thing is the same. Snapping and Rocking out till we cant breath and or puke! :) we stay energetic on stage

Hey guys. Looking forward to seeing you back in Flint on May 8th. I've been to almost every show of yours at the Machine Shop, going all the way back to 2002. You also have the distinction of being the first band I ever saw live in concert! I know you're close with Sevendust and have enjoyed touring with them over the years. Have you ever thought of asking Lajon Witherspoon to do some guest vocals on a song? I think Lajon and Elias together on a track would be very cool!

Love, love, LOVE Nonpoint! I've seen you all a million times in Madtown. (I was even in the "I Said It" video!)
How have you all handled the fame and stayed so down to earth? I've been fortunate enough to meet you guys a couple of times, and you just seem so....human. Too many rock bands let the fame, money, women, etc. go to their heads. How do you stay grounded?
Besides being away from family, what is the worst part of being on the road?
You're playing Band Camp this year....right? ;)
robbnp3 karma
I am not sure what fame means you know, we are all thankful we were able to do this for this long and still callit a career.
That is the worst part, is being away from your family
As for band camp, if we are invited we will be there
rasheednp2 karma
Lilyth88 we love playing madtown and will play there as much as possible. Thanks for being in the video!

I don't know who you are, but I like buses.
What are your opinions of buses?
mercyowl3 karma
Good to see you're a fan.
I had a listen to some of your music so I could ask some slightly more appropriate questions. I like the Phil Collins cover.
What would you say your favourite song has been to date? Or, to phrase differently, if you had to introduce someone to your music just through one song, what'd it be?
mercyowl2 karma
It's not the sort of music that I'd normally listen to, but I like it.
Good work? Slightly more condescending that I meant, but yeah it's good. Thanks :)

Nice to see you guys on this website! I've been a long time listener and I'm glad to see you on Reddit.
My only question is: what are your plans for the next album? What do you plan to do next and what can we expect?
Palidrafod3 karma
I do have to say, out of all the cds they've put out over the years, this one has more replay value then any other. It hasnt left my cd player since prerelease.....Amazing to drive to and its in good company with the other NP discs
-efilnikcufecin3 karma
I saw u guys in september at Wallys pub In Hampton Beach,NH Was a great show. was able to get pictures with you guys after the show and also got a set list signed. You guys rock. Hope you guys make it back to nh soon. Cant wait for the Sevendust show 4/19 at hampton beach casino
gregorious2 karma
Guys, I have a friend who makes electronic music with a lot of metal undertones and he is interested in remixing one of your songs. What would be your thoughts on that?
zombies_eat_faces2 karma
I am a student at UW madison. Please tell me you guys are playing in madtown more than once this year and next year.
SarahMascarah2 karma
All of you, boxers or briefs? Lol...im especiallt interested in Elias's answer haha When you guys were at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT- Elias, do you remember a young lady standing on a chair? Teeheehee that was me, and I swear we had eye contact a few times.
Palidrafod2 karma
You guys always get the same questions, perpetually giving the same answers.....is there talk of maybe a book by Robb and Elias to tell the history of the band? I know you're so pro active online answering what you can when you can. What are some of your biggest pet peves from fans? I know you don't like your shit sold on eBay ;) How does that make you feel, that a fan waits after a show for you to get something signed and they just go to get a quick buck.
Also to this day, how many copies have sold of the self titles? Are you close to a gold RIAA?
Has anyone ever gotten physical with a dick in the crowd either taunting the band, throwing shit or being an asshole to other fans?
robbnp1 karma
I have been working on a book, I think telling the history of the band would be tricky, most people know our history. Ebay it is what it is, we usually personalize. less value for them. Just one time we have been taunted, i took care of them No sure how many copies have been sold
igotskraped2 karma
First time I saw you guys was on your Statement tour in Chicago many moons ago. It took me almost 9 years to get back and see you guys live again and since then I've seen you twice in the last few months (Rockford, IL and St. Charles, IL). You guys KILL it at every show! It seems to me with this new album you guys are getting an influx of new, never listened to you guys before fans. How badass is that to you guys that after so many years of playing and touring that you're still able to bring in new listeners?
NoNPoiNT961 karma
Hey guys !!! :D Thank you guys for that new self title you released in October, it was and still is amazing! Elias what is your favorite song that you've made with Nonpoint?
tasteecrans1 karma
Weird moment-jjo is playing "truth" right now. Just wondering how often you take current events and social issues into account when songwriting? With so many listeners, it just seems like the perfect platform to highlight issues that concern you guys personally.
455face1 karma
I still have some Nonpoint Factor material from SFlorida. Does any of the new guys still talk to Picasso?
[deleted]1 karma
Im a loooong time fan of nonpoint.... like i said since the slammy days of nonpoint factor. Also long time fan of crash poet. How cool is it that i can listen to new nonpoint and it just kills. plus the inn cinema dudes are beyond perfect as the present and future of nonpoint.
rasheednp1 karma
I keep in touch with Pico from time to time. He doing a lot of great tattoo work. Thanks for listening to Crashpoet and Inn Cinema means a lot.
SparkBunny1 karma
My husband and i have been fans of yours since 2005, and we always try to see Nonpoint on stage when you're in town, even though it's usually during the week, when we have to find a babysitter that doesn't have school in the morning. Elias has by far the best stage presence i've ever seen.
We were super excited about your indigogo campaign, and decided to get the drum heads signed by Robb. Then they got changed and were going to be signed by the whole band (which is even better). Then the # purchased counter below the drum heads reset to zero, after we'd already donated the $125 for them. We were confused, so we emailed you about it, and never got a response. We also tweeted you about it, and never got a response. Then, the drum heads were completely removed from the website. My question is, what gives? Do we still get the drum heads? If not, will we at some point get our money back? What's the deal here?
Talonspyre1 karma
Hey! I have been a huge fan of Nonpoint since Development.
Was wondering. do you guys ever go disc golfing at places while on tour?
rasheednp2 karma
Never while on tour but i have a couple of times in Michigan, good times! Not easy and keep your eye on the disk:)
JDMnAR1 karma
Hey guys - with all of the amazing songs in your catalog over the years, as well as wanting to jam the new songs live so people can hear them that might not have, how do you decide on a setlist? I know when you are headlining you have a lot more leeway in playing more, but when you are a supporting act on a bill how do you balance getting the new stuff out there with playing crowd favorites like Bullet, What a Day, Endure, etc. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you again in Little Rock on May 1st.
robbnp1 karma
Decididn on a set list is one of the most difficult things we have had to do, but we manage
JDMnAR1 karma
Haven't ever seen a weak set from you, or a song I don't want to see live, but I'd love to see Frontlines, Everybody Down or Temper show up in the set in Little Rock. Keep on with the killer shows, and stay safe and healthy on the road!
nightwing20241 karma
Any plans to do more covers? "In The Air Tonight" by you guys is my favorite version and one of the best songs ever. You have such a distinctive sound that I can instantly pick you out of a lineup of artists. Thank you for being so fucking awesome!
bcolby201 karma
hey guys! just saw you in spokane on saturday 3/30 with Hellyeah and All That Remains. You did not disappoint in my first time seeing you and it was worth the 500 mile drive to boot. very impressed with your live show. (no your sign though :( although i was very pleased to hear what a day)
how do you guys feel about where music is heading today, with more bands like black veil brides and that sound becoming more popular? not that i see it as a bad thing, it's just different from what im used to.
also what are your opinions (if any) on Bring Me The Horizon? i am absolutely in love with their music.
keep kickin ass boys!!
robbnp2 karma
Well we really dont have any opinions on new bands, i know Dave likes bring me The Horizon. We only worry about Nonpoint. I have not heard either bands music to be honest
blyonz041 karma
You guys kicked some serious ass in Spokane, Wa was my first nonpoint show and for damn sure wont be the last. Hoping your indiegogo project meets its goal and ill be able to hang out with you guys next time your in town! keep kickin ass and enjoy the rest of the tour!
crogginator1 karma
Nice to see you giving Reddit a shot. :) Been a fan for a number of years and see you more times than I can count, but just some general questions.
- Do you guys have a favorite venue, city, and state to play in? Obviously Florida is home, but you seem to get a lot of love in Wisconsin.
- When people talk to you, what is the song they seem to want to hear most on tour? I've certainly got my opinions, not sure what the masses think though.
- Not a question, but try to convince Skindred to come back to the US and do a tour! That Nonpoint/Skindred tour in 2007 was killer.
robbnp1 karma
We love any city that will want Nonpoint to perform at Bullet with a name Not sure what skindred is doing
NoNPoiNT961 karma
Not to be pushy but when do you think your guys' next album will be in development?
Bomrman1 karma
Hey guys. Thank you for doing this AMA. I've personally been a fan for a long time. Since "what a day". I've been fortunate to see you many times and have left fulfilled and happy each time. So, now to the questions. Are there any of your favorite bands that you have yet to play with on a tour? And who is in charge of cooking while out on the road? Thanks again guys and keep keepin it heavy!
robbnp2 karma
Well we would love to tour with Korn, KsE, Deftones, Metallica. When we do cook, Elias is the one that gets it going.
stonethecr0w1 karma
Wow, you guys definitely have a lot of fans in CT. I'm one of them, and I know you were just in New Haven, but I hope to see you headlining again soon! You guys are really cool to talk to as well, it's awesome that you care so much about your fans. Except I'm always scared to talk to you, Robb.. But your new album kicks ass. I guess you were better off getting a couple new guys :P Also, I hope you guys ate Pepe's Pizza when you were here in New Haven, that's the best part town. :D
SoFlaCat1 karma
Hey, Nonpoint! Great to see you here! I'm from South Florida (yes, obvs) and I was wondering if you know of or talk to any other great bands from our area. Leading the Heroes comes to mind. What do you think of the scene down here?
robbnp1 karma
Honestly we do not know as we do not live in the area anymore, By the way we are playing April 14th at Club Revolution in Fort Lauderdale
Jackoff_Bauer1 karma
I've been a fan of you guys for years. However I have no question, but just wanted to drop some love on you guys..... White gooey love...
tasteecrans1 karma
Which do you prefer, large venues, outdoor festivals, or small, bar-like stages?
NoNPoiNT961 karma
I know this is WAY too personal but I was just curious if you or Elias went to college. (Please don't be offended) I'm not judging! You guys are awesome no matter what. Just wanted to ask that, if it's too personal, disregard it and please answer this : What is your fav band Robb?
robbnp1 karma
Elias went to College, not me. Never cared about school. My favorite band is Rush
SmartAssX1 karma
Wow havent heard for you guys in a long time. Loved your music when i was younger. Keep up the good work
BuffMcHardbody1 karma
You guys are incredible, and I love the new album.
Just one question, Who has been your favorite band to tour with, and why?
voldin911 karma
What is yout favorite song to perform live and why? By the way I've been to 3 of your shows and they kicked ass! Rock on guys!
rasheednp3 karma
Thank you so much. We all appreciate your support. Personally I like songs that i get to sing with Elias like Left for you, Endure, That Day and quite a few others but all the songs are great to play live because they all have great energy.
EvereneTheFirst1 karma
How do you judge the growth of your fan base? Do you guys have other jobs other than music?
robbnp2 karma
Well this year it has been really weird seeing so many sold out shows, we are really stoked about that for sure
robbnp1 karma
We are influenced by so much different stuff that it would not be fair, why we could not mention it all
L1v3m1n1 karma
I am happy to see you guys gaining a lot more attention and still remaining as down to earth and in touch with your fans, not many bands pull that off like you guys and the campaign was an awesome idea, I loaded up on some great perks. I was just wondering, you guys are on tour ALL the time and shows almost every night, what do you do with your down time to keep entertained?
gregorious1 karma
Hey guys hope the tour is going well, let me ask you this, what is it like touring with Vinnie Paul is he as bad ass as he portrays himself?
sarisky1 karma
I just saw you guys on the 22nd at Club Nokia. It was first time seeing Nonpoint, and I just wanted to say thank you! You did not disappoint, though I think you are deserving of more stage time then you had. Elias, you are awesome and I enjoyed hanging with you on the smoke patio. I guess if I had to ask a question it I'd have to know how crazy are the guys from Hellyeah, really?? LOL!
robbnp1 karma
That was a killer show. We have loved goign back to LA and playing for our fans. HEll Yeah are a bunch of Normal guys well they are to us but they really do have a great time on tour and you can see the fun they have
scwinks1 karma
Saw you guys on Saturday for the fourth time and every time I've seen you the crowd got really into the show. Do you have any tricks you use to get a crowd going or is it all just a natural part of your personalities?
Scuzzboots1 karma
Who would you feel like you had the best chance at winning against in a fight out of the members of Sevendust, and why? Also, worst chance. Go!
robbnp2 karma
Fight with Sevendust, those are our boys. We would never fight against them but we would fight with them against other people. Nonpoint and Sevendust against anyone. Yea we will win
lazyrocker6661 karma
You guys are bad ass. Are you coming back to Orlando any time soon? What is one band that you have not toured with that you would want to?
ItzOrangecat1 karma
You guys are creating some sick tunes, still waiting for some live performances in Norway tho... ;)
Palidrafod8 karma
Hey guys, this is awesome and I hope to see others take advantage of the opportunity to chat with you. Any news on more dates, I won't ask specifically for my city cuz I know how old and mundane that must get. the pet peave of "when are you coming to my town" when you were just there last week.
With the huge resurgence of fans, likes on facebook piling up, selling out shows, does it feel like it did in the 90s or is it a new feeling to Robb and Elias? and for Dave, Adam and Rasheed does it feel different from the local scene of Inn Cinema?
Touring with hell yeah has to be amazing and Id love to see them. I think you should get to Band camp one more time, and bring them with!!
I know last year Robb asked many times for votes on a set list but I havent seen it with the new lineup, do you guys know pretty much all the songs now? or is it still a work in process? Hearing Rabia was amazing but Id still like to hear past it all or breathe from time to time......changing up the versions of the acoustic songs from the cd back to metal version was a great touch for someone who's seen so many shows in a row btw.
