Interview: CROWN THE EMPIRE | Warped Tour 2016

[@ItsJbirdJustin1]

I never would have thought Post Malone could have been the guitarist for Crown The Empire.. That's crazy to me because I love both artists.

[@mayaroberts466]

I think that Crown the Empire has one of the most loyal fan bases of all and the reason so many people love them is because of exactly this, having and spreading a significant message.

[@vlyssv4294]

This is the most chill interview I've seen I love it

[@vlyssv4294]

It was more of a conversation I guess

[@AaronSmithDrums]

those are the better interviews in my opinion. definitely sounded conversational probably because they seem to be homies. but it definitely had flow the whole time and got a lot of info out of it so I can't complain at all :)

[@kayleighturner9883]

Andy is so nice when you meet him, they're all absolute sweethearts

[@1ime_st]

am i the only person that finds andys voice soothing when he talks???

[@gemmaguzman9872]

This is probably my favorite interview ever, it just felt so real ? idk... Nick is such a great interviewer and Andy is a solid dude, I love it

[@HopelessAnchorz]

Crown The Empire: one of the realest fucking band I've come to love. The way described everything from the meaning to this album, the departure of Benn and the band & how they felt about everything. The fact that they are finally putting their heart and soul in this album has made me so much happier to be a loyal fan. A lot of people have already given them shit for their new sound, saying "ughhh go back to your old shit". I love all 3 albums, but the fact that this is them. this is the real crown the empire. I will forever treasure this album as one of the greats. I knew there was more to why Benn left and maybe that's how they realized that shit got real. But as always, I will forever respect Benn Suede and the rest of the boys. But even now, "fans" willl still talk shit about Retrograde and about Benn. Nonetheless, Retrograde will forever outrank Limitless, The Fallout & The Resistance: Rise Of The Runaways, not only for its sound, but for the realness of its true nature

[@rachaelsattler1412]

I agree completely! I'm glad there's at least one other person who feels the same way about Retrograde

[@HopelessAnchorz]

+Rachael Sattler i love the whole album. its a new sound but it sounds so amazing. and them as people have really stepped up their game. i just that fans were more open minded to this kind of change. no one wants to hear the same sound forever but they still sound amazing since Limitless

[@rachaelsattler1412]

+NikkiSaysWhut I haven't had a chance to hear the album in its entirety, but I love what I've heard so far. And the fact that it's truly a reflection of them as both people and a band really resonates with me, so I'm sure I'll like the rest of it :) but I agree, I wish people would look at it as them evolving and actually showing who the band really is and what they're capable of, and not just compare it to past albums

[@HopelessAnchorz]

+Rachael Sattler exactly :)

[@fourtwothree5422]

I'm a new fan that just started listening to them a few months ago. I love Retrograde.

[@eleanorlouise1600]

I love post malone I'm shook as if He Auditioned to be in the band

[@isabellaambrosio5057]

I am absolutely in love with this interview. One, because of how long it was... Two, because Nick Major knows what the hell he's doing... And three, how much better I got to know Andy and parts of Crown the Empire from it. Rise of the Runaways is my favorite album of all time, and no album will ever hold such emotional meaning to me, but I'm so happy to know that Crown is finally happy with what they're doing. It will be hard to part with their amazing story telling (as someone who writes novels in their free time, I absolutely loved the story aspect of their albums), but I'm totally stoked to be on a journey with this band as they find themselves and put out music that makes them happy. They're undeniably talented and from what I can tell, down to earth as all hell now, and I'm so beyond stoked to witness this. When I'm older, I'll hand The Resistance to my kids and say, "Hey, this album inspired me to write (the novel I'm writing now), but the band showed me how to grow." Hats off Andy, Hayden, Brandon, Brent, and Dave.

[@AaronVlogggs]

But you didn't ask him what his pornstar name would be

[@CliPzShAcK]

Aaron Britton thats a bryan stars thing

[@deathstartswithyou4534]

bikelife_brian that's the joke

[@jonathanruiz1736]

So yeah to everyone who think's their selling out and hate Retrograde, you hate Crown since this album is the most personal one they've done. I'm proud of where they are and I think that it's really mature of Andy to realize at 22 years old what he has realized. Some people never really reach that point in their lives where they realize that what they're doing with their lives isn't the best but yeah Retrograde will definitely be on repeat for a couple months

[@Eddie-97]

Such a great interview Andy is such a nice genuine dude

[@Strawberry_Tara]

Eddie Coronado makes sense that he and post were friends, both such genuine dudes

[@abigailrankin3238]

yes he is, and so down to earth

[@chellebygreen4830]

I love how chill this interview is. It's not 100% scripted and it's amazing

[@jessicalucas657]

I think Nick just took Bryan stars spot as best interviewer, since Bryan doesn't do it anymore.

[@vincentyanda3023]

Please don't compare them.

[@jessicalucas657]

+Vincent Yanda I'm 100% not comparing them, I made sure I didn't say anything like that at all. I'm just saying that Bryan WAS known for interviewing bands, now Nick interviews the bands.

[@vincentyanda3023]

JESSiCA L28 Alright that makes sense. Yeah Nick is a good interviewer and it's nice to have him.

[@nonastuff5020]

+

[@renegadeangstymarshmallow651]

and cus bryan's a dick

[@medievalnightmare5005]

3:00 Post Malone reference

[@hassansaeed3053]

Medieval Nightmare you're a lifesaver 😂

[@sergiobejar9658]

Medieval Nightmare thank you didn’t want to go through this shit lmao

[@shiftyshutin]

u a real one

[@yballaw2714]

Sergio Bejar it’s 3 minutes

[@jackiealqueza]

I love this interview so much. Andy is such a solid dude. Thank you for this Nick!

[@roosoo8207]

this interview was so real. good job

[@Chelseagrin_1994]

I don't think the interviewer has enough fucking bracelets.

[@camillatorrez838]

My favorite crown the empire interview ever

[@Seralious]

10/10!

[@unimagined101]

THE ALBUM IS OUT TODAY!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR IT

[@rybanberr2770]

What are the best songs on there?

[@4ucitygirl]

I fucking love CTE. Nothing in this interview was forced, Andy is such a genuine guy. I'll forever appreciate their music and how real the members are. Sooo much love. ;-;

[@peachyybri]

Loved this interview and this makes me 10x more excited to hear Retrograde!

[@ashleyhu8629]

this was such a good ass interview, props to Nick because it was just such a natural conversation flow.

[@deathblackout1]

The whole post malone bit blew my mind and andy can gettt itt

[@danee3413]

I love CTE. I met Andy in the crowd at Ufest, and then I met the entire band at Warped Tour, and they're so kind hearted and I have never found one song that I cannot jam to. I really hope I can see them and meet them again at Warped this year, they're my favorite.

[@marleestorrar2163]

I discovered crown the empire in 2012 maybe 2013 reading a one direction fan fiction. The fallout was the very first song I heard, and it's really crazy to see how far they've come since I first started listening to them. they are really the only band that I've been following for that long. crazy shit. couldn't be prouder of them. I couldn't be more thankful for their music. truly helped me through some shit times.

[@DirectlyHere]

it's crazy to me that a ton of people think these guys aren't big when they had one of the largest crowds at warped. I go to every show when they come to Michigan. Love this band, love this interview!

[@totallynotarepresedyeemo890]

Andy seems like a really cool guy I seen them live yesterday in Dallas they did awesome they are one of my new favorite bands

[@romanczwakiel5506]

The whole band is so down to earth. Seem like guys I'd chill with any day of the week.

[@XxCrAiGz93xX]

yo hey this is the first actual interview of Nick's i've seen. dude i like the chill style. which is how an interview is supposed to be. i hope to get into the interviewing game as well and that's how my style is too. LUCKILY. i've never had an interview where i've forgotten to press record yet....(it'll happen at some point tho) however i did get Silverstein's new album name wrong in front of Shane Told's face like 7 times in our interview tho. (hella embarassing. thankfully shane told is nice as hell)

[@deathofateenagecatastrophe2871]

youtube never notifies me when videos are FIRST uploaded

[@deathofateenagecatastrophe2871]

Can't wait to see these guys tomorrow

[@PonyPride101]

He's so well spoken I love this interview

[@mayaroberts466]

There is one more day! Im so excited! im so proud of them all

[@Lyzaxx17]

Absolutely loved this interview💕

[@francyopazog.8325]

30 minutes!!! Thank you Nick 😭😭😭

[@07cosmo1]

Andy is such a tight dude, I really would wanna have a jam session with him.

[@DanielGarcia-xh2ze]

Best interview ever🙌🏾... And can you PLEASE do a twenty-one-pilots and crown the empire tour. That will be so sick!!

[@riseoftherunaways6771]

When Andy Leo says tøp's song is hard 😂😂😂

[@shalecep1944]

This was my favorite interview so far

[@GlitterElmo]

Oh my lord I never knew how much I needed this in my life!

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

im so stoked for the album

[@astri2012]

Omg Andy Leo 😍😍😍😍 can't wait for the new album and love nick major 😍😍

[@emilialara5554]

Best interview ever! I'm gonna listen to every crown th empire song rn

[@jessicaking3872]

[@megustale69]

[@monicruz21]

wow, I love this. can't wait for retrograde.

[@anastasiatoland8784]

I swear I've never laughed so hard then when he was explaining Mercury and did the nightmare before Christmas shit

[@grievesly]

I cannot love Andy anymore, coolest dude in the world

[@kcsunshine57]

I love Crown The Empire no matter whar

[@therolandstreet]

21 Pilots/Crown The Empire tour!!! That'd be a dream lineup!!!

[@alexianah6893]

HE WORE DAT SHIRT IN COLORADO!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@teamsuperminecraft]

That conversation about twenty one pilots made me cry

[@theabacross1581]

Andy has such a nice soothing Voice.

[@itsamemadi]

O.M.G TØP AND CROWN NEED TO TOUR TOGETHER RIGHT NOW I WOULD CRY FOREVER HOLY SHIT MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE

[@ethanhittle584]

Dude I was so happy to see them July 21st

[@jozzycuevas3414]

Andy such a chill dude so sick🔥🤘🏼

[@illoominertyl3844]

Favourite band in the fucking world

[@Freedomtobemsc]

so twenty one pilots and crown the empire can we make it happen 😭😭 it'd be fucking great

[@violetgrey4270]

[@Freedomtobemsc]

Rosalie Dawson hell yeah

[@mostrelatablechannelname3327]

+Rosalie Dawson yes

[@Boosteddos]

+Rosalie Dawson ptv doesn't fit it Lol

[@marleestorrar2163]

no, please.

[@ClearlyHunter]

I high-fived Crown The Empire... Video is on my channel lol

[@Astroman9569]

One of my favorite bands :)

[@lindseyherbert8804]

IF TWENTY ONE PILOTS & CROWN THE EMPIRE WENT ON TOUR WITH EACH OTHER I WOULD BUY TICKETS TO SEE THAT IN A HEARTBEAT

[@dawsonburgess9744]

Would that even happen tho?

[@lindseyherbert8804]

+dawson burgess realistically, no. but it would be sick if that happened!

[@monicaalvarez4249]

same and I would be so fucking happy

[@jacoblyons79]

right? :)

[@angelangela2442]

but 21P suck now

[@gayle3391]

I freaking died when he brought up 5sos 😂😂😂

[@orioncaster5761]

Damn take me back to 2016

[@kalebellingham2934]

my first concert was State Champs. I really wish it could have been been CTE or ADTR

[@OGeFFeX]

Bro dubstep is huge rn bigger then it ever has been

[@colemiller7051]

He calls 200 a lot of hours? I have thousands in csgo...

[@samgerling2759]

no way you spent over 41 days of your life on one game

[@Jrod316x]

Sam Gerling I've spent over 2000 hours on league of legends....not proud of it -_-

[@samgerling2759]

yeah ookay

[@TheMusicmaxxx]

Kinda funny that Nick is saying his first concert was The Used. Cause the first time I saw The Used was when I was introduced to CTE 😂

[@angelagleason4586]

I love cte so much

[@graemestraughn4772]

This makes me feel a lot better about the album, I'm open to bands changing but what bothers me is when they seem to just bail on quality lyrics. This album has quality lyrics, even if its not metalcore like before. I love Zero, it's a killer song and the rest of the album is solid too.

[@moshpitsandbongrips6998]

the nightmare before Christmas thing killed me for some reason

[@joshutchersonlover]

My first concert was rascal flatts.... I'd be grateful for CTE as my first

[@swiftsevermore]

My first concert was Selena Gomez 😒

[@heavensparkelz6038]

Mine was BMTH

[@joshutchersonlover]

My first show in this scene was warped tour 2013. But I've seen everyone from billy Ray Cyrus to big time rush

[@joshutchersonlover]

+Renegade Swift I would kill to see SG I love her

[@swiftsevermore]

+Shelby lol it was way back in 2010 when she was still on Disney. I had fun though

[@emmawinland2039]

if crown the empire and twenty one pilots go on tour i will fucking die.

[@angelacanedit]

That'd be so cool

[@casey2072]

when they mentioned twenty one pilots i got super excited

[@caitlinchelette]

This is so cute omg 🙈💜

[@i4z15]

After seeing the recent events of what happened between crown and Dave, i'm starting to think Benn left for the same reasons. he probably wanted to write music whereas the rest of crown wanted to keep paying someone else to write...

[@latarianwhite4799]

i love your guys music till the end ♥and you guys to no homo you guys are funny and unique

[@VeronicaMartinez-ib5on]

Love this ❤️

[@mariaj1595]

i love this god bless

[@bubblegumzzz25]

Andy is cool as fuck

[@emmawinland2039]

andy is literally me.

[@richarde4351]

TEXAS YAS!!

[@ashleyhu8629]

does anyone know where I can hear mercury? I don't have target in my country and it's killing me...

[@jacycooley8971]

ugh so sad.....I'm crying rn bc my mum won't let me go

[@mushemblem5682]

i met them July 15th and said maybe 2 words. i was so nervous ;-;

[@Maggot_infestedd]

I can’t believe he had post Malone in his band

[@sxan369]

he's like a American oli sykes

[@karra7491]

Shaye Except Andy is wayyyttt more chill. he's nicer and says real shit

[@dank9154]

You mean mexican Oliver Sykes lmao

[@sxan369]

dAnk oh yeah I guess so

[@sxan369]

Dakota's Shadows aww I think they both really cool guys love em both😍😍

[@metal_lovingmexican6976]

dAnk I mean Mexico is in america....

[@angelacanedit]

13:49 I was def thinking about 21 pilots too

[@Mutezable]

fuck yeah cod dropshots!

[@avipaint5155]

my friend matox says andy is his brother does anyone know if andy has a little brother?

[@avipaint5155]

never mind its not andy its someone else but im prettu sure hes in crown the empire

[@tammystephenson8552]

So as someone who spends a fuck ton amount of their life on the internet, I run out of data pretty quickly. Also being not the most well off family, my carrier kind of sucks. I have to pause the video to let it load and to get about 1 minute into it, I have to leave it paused for roughly 3 minutes. I'm 8 minutes in. I've been here since 12, its 12:28. This is exhausting but 30 minutes of Andy is most definitely worth the frustration tbh

[@T0oM3T4L]

not a huge fan of nick on the snapchat but he is a really good interviewer gotta say lol

[@babylyn3094]

GOD GOD SHIT SHIT FUCK THIS MORNING 3 HOURS SOMEONE HELP
