Hi do you delivery far far away 🇬🇧? Sincerely Marisol

[@NJTllrd]

Two Spiritbox interviews within a week? We are being spoiled 😊

[@eveline244]

Exactly 🫶

[@misfitmaik6213]

Yesss I want more

[@tigana]

Right! So excited to listen to this

[@exizt7]

Courtney is just so awesome and relatable. She is so humble too and it's great. That's what has honestly made me such a fan, not just the great, catchy song writing. They have such a good squad with Zev, Josh and Michael. I want them to succeed, they deserve a Grammy.

[@Bia-ur6yp]

i love watching spiritbox interviews , courtney has a soothing voice and i love her answers

[@Sue-xt6ne]

Thanks for a great interview! I have my ticket for Wembley Stadium - couldn't believe my luck that I get to see Linkin Park AND Spiritbox!

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@Sue-xt6ne thank you for joining us! Great to meet you.

[@asymmetrymedia9838]

What a great conversation. It's always nice to see artist we like seemingly be good people. Humble, honest and relatable, but also empathetic to people around her, the crew, openminded and positive about artists around her. I love to see it. She's a huge source of inspiration and frankly: an example for the whole metal community. Let's all be a little more like Courtney.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Love this! I'm with you!

[@barbarastarfire]

Spiritbox come back to brazil for a solo show!!! Courtney, youre an inspiration for us, mainly women that are in the metal scene as fans or artists. I really loved watching you live and know from a lot of other fans that it was mutual for the people there in the BMTH show. Can't wait to see you guys live again. Much love from Brazil!

[@DavieMelderfilms]

Saw your instagram post so I imediately came over on my lunch break to check out the interview. I love good interviewers that actually shead a spotlight on artists lives and you killed it! Courtney is such a great vocalist and seams like a very genuine person.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@DavieMelderfilms Thank you so much for this wonderful Feedback 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@waitwaitokgo]

Awesome interview :) Discovered you through Mike Shinoda interviews so it's fun to see worlds collide with another long time favorite of mine in Spiritbox/Courtney. They might be tough to book but it would be so fun to see you speak to Emily Armstrong or Poppy if you were able to get them. 🙏

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@waitwaitokgo great picks and Thank you for your support!

[@jc1424]

what made me smile today was how respectful you were about every conversation topic, even the part about having a baby while taking care of the band

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I can't tell you how much this means to me. I take such care with my guests and it warms my heart that it resonated with you as well. Great to connect with you!

[@jc1424]

@AllisonHagendorf No problem ♥️ Hope Mike comes on again sometime with Emily and you get to speak with them.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@jc1424 yes I would love that!

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

Courtney praising Krysta and Emily. That's the energy i need in my life.

[@felipebrognoli]

I got a 12+12h travel just to see you guys on the BMTH show. Love from Brazil.

[@Shxrpnesss]

[@AlexPerez-ig8yd]

I knew she was gonna be something special when she first joined IWABO. Courtney is officially top 5 metal vocalist in my world. Proud of her 🎉

[@flothchtronk2068]

You both clearly enjoyed this, fantastic interview! Thank you so much!

[@AllisonHagendorf]

[@ConnerSpeed6]

I could listen to Courtney talk (and sing) all day long!

[@AnthonyBusted]

Courtney the best female metal vocalist ever !🤘Thanks for interview

[@DungeonMetal]

She and the rest of Spiritbox were incredible opening for Gojira and Korn on their recent tour. It was quite evident that many in the audience wanted more.

[@SpencerLawrence-jl9tj]

ENTIRELY agree, The Void is sooo so good. I made a Spotify station from just that song.

[@andreeidimaeda1130]

Brazil mentioned 🎉!!! We love you spiritbox!!!!

[@AJ_got_cramps]

What a great interview! Courtney is so inspiring, and she is so right about Krysta. Think was 2010 I saw IWABO and Krysta came out with a piece of ham with eye holes bit out on her face and did the whole first song with it on. Legend.

[@playgamescarlos]

Hi again Allison. I'm happy that I have watched the video episode premiere today (good chatting with you & viewers). :D This is a VERY good episode. The way Courtney summarizes her discovery of music is amazing, getting to know with past band & her current band, Spiritbox, you name the rest. Spiritbox band are fantastic. They all did a great job touring in a lot of cities as Headliners, especially touring with well known bands from past tours (like GHOST, KORN, etc). I enjoyed listening to their tracks from their Eternal Blue album, EPs like The Fear of Fear (I have those with me). ^__^ Male Reared got me Laughing A LOT here. And that's a good one! Thank you for another GOOD Q&A episode, Allison. I LIKED your video here. What got me smiling today.....watching your episode is my answer! :D

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@playgamescarlos you are simply the best! Thank you so much for your support!

[@Mazdalution]

Absolutely love Courtney & spiritbox. Can’t wait to see them in April 🥹

[@sethrollins150]

12:14 Courtney, you have been writting the better songs than BMTH since 2017.

[@meepstreet]

cannot wait to see them in chicago !! i’ve been dreaming of a headlining tour

[@alexp8764]

Ancora una volta, grazie, Allison, Un'altra ottima intervista ❤❤❤

[@jaredbingham9018]

Great interview with a great artist from a great band her lyrics reach me in ways no band has and i love all music. her sound is magic to me.

[@gemgh420]

I was listening in the car and have only just spotted that Betty White pillow 😂😂 amazing interview with someone who I'm so thankful to have in the world.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@gemgh420 haha Thank you for being part of the show!

[@os8856]

Allison is this your Xmas gift? Superb work as always, and great conversations - merry Xmas to you and yours!

[@davidriddick82]

Allison!! Another banger!! Courtney is amazing and so is Spiritbox!! Fell in love with them years ago at Welcome To Rockville and have not stopped, I can’t wait for their new album and tour in 2025. Once again you deliver another fun and chill experience, really enjoyed this one thank you 🤘🏻 Maybe you can get Emily and Mike from Linkin Park one day in 2025 for a conversation 😊

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@davidriddick82 your support means so much to me. I would love to have them on!

[@Magdalena8008s]

Spiritbox rules! Been a fan of Mike Stringer since the Fall of Archea days. And then introduced to Courtney when she joined IWABO. And yeah, been a fan of both for a long while.

[@paulriddle7818]

Fantastic interview.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@paulriddle7818 Thank you!!!!

Courtney LaPlante, a pronúncia dela e perfeita, um ótimo inglês.

Wife and I flying in for Vancouver show. Can't wait. Great band but classy classy classy. Kick ass on your upcoming tour.

[@vanhinz269]

❤ Watching Courtney’s interviews. She’s just so cool!! Allison would love if you could get any of the guys from BAD OMENS to do your show. They seem like they don’t do Interviews anymore . Ya gotta get them on!

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Love them!

[@FrankPappacoda]

So hyped to see Spiritbox headline at Hammerstein later in 2025

[@LovedUp]

She’s the best! And the band is just too good 🤘🖤✨

@@krackergrit Thank you for seeing me 😂🙏🏼😎

[@jdjarmer1207]

Nice Sleep Token shirt! I was hoping you would ask Courtney if she listens to them. But no. Or maybe you did only it wasn’t in the interview? How about getting ll from Sleep Token on your show? Drumeo pulled that off. Give a watch if you haven’t already seen it. Great interview of Courtney. 👍

[@AllisonHagendorf]

@@jdjarmer1207 I’m with you! I want them in the show!!!!

Mrs. Allison ! Please invite Masato David Hayakawa from Coldrain Band. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Carolinaslimdud]

I saw Spiritbox perform in Charlotte, and they were awesome. Some woman came and watched the Korn performance next to me on the second row, and i could have swore it was Courtney, but my aunt told me i had had too much to drink.😂

[@hectorguerrero6226]

Hopefuly they could come again to Latinoamerica 🇲🇽🇨🇱🇦🇷🇧🇷🇭🇳🇨🇴🇨🇷 more dates here 🥹🙏🏼

[@richardjones38]

I had a ticket to see Spiritbox - but the tour got cancelled for the pandemic 2 days before. I hope to see them soon.

[@blacktide888]

Spiritbox is one of the best bands out there period.

[@terrencesk8]

As a black man I’m so surprised she loves Black Music 💙 & She’s very Beautiful

[@chriswescley]

We wasn't there only for bmth. Spiritbox is huge in Brazil. She probably doesn't get it

[@jaakkomaaniemi2136]

Holy shit Spiritbox cover of a Children of Bodom song. I thought I wanted Lorna Shore or Enterprise Earth do it, but now I have doubts.

[@wheeljork]

Live music is still struggling. Clubs have disappeared or just turned into regular college bars. Go see the bands guys, you are helping everyone by getting off the couch.

[@RooStefano]

awesome

[@jasonkimble8926]

Good luck on new album

[@paulriddle7818]

Tatiana Shmayluk or any of the goddesses of Symphonic Metal would be a good interview.

[@TheIllyrianRTW]

When they're talking about replacement band members, I always think of Boston, with Beth Cohen joining them in the mid 2010s.

[@lindsayvance2143]

They’d be cool if they just shut up and stop trashing every other band

[@undercoverangel6667]

Was Courtney throwing digs at IWABO lmao

[@primebreaker6628]

No. Just telling her experiences. Both good and bad. You didn't hear she also spoke highly positive of Krysta?

[@undercoverangel6667]

@ nvm lol i didn’t point out what i was referring to and I’m not gonna but those who know, know

[@deltavagen9796]

why does she hate men so much

[@kapricun]

celebrating women's achievements or expressing excitement about breaking barriers doesn't equate to hating men. it's a common misunderstanding when someone interprets empowering or uplifting statements about one group as an attack on another. acknowledging systemic disparities or rooting for progress in a specific context doesn't automatically imply animosity toward those who historically dominate that space. the key is recognizing that celebrating representation is about inclusion and opportunity, not exclusion or hatred. if someone (e.g., you) jumps to that conclusion, it says more about their defensiveness or biases than about the person celebrating the milestone! stay mad sister ❤️
