Mike, Kilmore, Jose and Brandon will be doing separate video chats over the course of the HQ Anniversary party, and they'll be answering your questions straight from the internet. To cut down on the amount of confusion going on in the chat room while they're live, we will be pulling the best questions from this thread to ask them on-air.
This thread is for questions for Brandon Boyd only.

Permalink Reply by Anne de Bruijn on March 8, 2012 at 8:17am for about 9 years now, i'm suffering from a panic/anxiety disorder, which controls my life in a lot of ways. the lyrics to 'drive' helped me a lot, it's is the essential question when fighting panic and fear, how much should you let the fear take the wheel and steer? i was wondering if it comes from (personal) experience, that you know exactly how to put it? i feel understood when i listen to the song, and trust me, it's not often people understand panic-disorders. thanks for the song, it's brilliant. see you in amsterdam!

- Is there any chance to see you guys performing in Greece?
Permalink Reply by JJ Clark on March 8, 2012 at 8:26am Brandon you come across as a spirit being, what is your point of view on ayahuasca and the icaros spirit songs of amazonian shamanism?
and the spiritual significance of your music? For you personally, what is the spiritual significance of your music?
(Edit question?)

Permalink Reply by Lori Avila on March 8, 2012 at 9:22am I wanted to ask about Brandon's involvement with the Hurley Hope project. How do you feel when the issue your trying to tackle (eliminating plastic waste) seems overwhelming because the majority of plastics do not get recycled since many people ignore recycling efforts? This happened to me recently and I got real bummed that I could only do so much. Thanks for your time and I await your response!

I have no words to explain how I felt when I discovered you and your lyrics, your voice, your art, your books. All from you, absolutely changed my life in many, many ways...at a time I certainly was looking inside myself for something to change.
But, this is a question room only, and my question is ...Are you aware of that what you do to and with people? You make us believe that dreams come true and nothing is imposible and many other beautiful things, an the best part is that you do it through such amazing songs.
Thanks for existing Brandon Boyd...you are such an inspiration! Love you!
Daniela. (Argentina)

I saw you guys thrice last year and was amazed to hear you sounded just as you always have. Many of your songs are so vocally taxing, with so many belty high notes. How do you keep your voice so limber?

Permalink Reply by Char Watson on March 8, 2012 at 10:05am I would love to know about your writing process. From an initial song idea or inspiration, through writing, to presenting it to the band and producing it. And how all of that affects the song itself and the way you view it before and after.
Also, have you considered making a 'Brandon font'. I get compliments all the time on how awesome your printing is;) ~Some people fall in love and touch the sky~
Much love,
Char
xoxo
