Motionless In White Interview: Chris On 'Disguise', Lineup Change & The Future

[@ghoztfxce]

At the intro I thought he was gonna be like “What’s up I’m Chris Motionless from Motionless In White and you’re watching...Disney channel”

[@pompei9602]

😂😂😂😂

[@ThMorrigan]

Kinda need to hear him say it now though

[@emmmo2739]

YES me exactly---

[@thelagamer6796]

I need to here that now befor I die lol😂😅

[@gebz9999]

For a sec i thought he did say that when i zoned out but i rewinded it & knew i was trippin💀💀

[@taylerjohnathan1679]

Does anyone else think that Chris’ voice is super relaxing? Or is it just me?

[@AnaHollywoodVideos]

Tayler Johnathan completely agree. Been hoping someone else would say it at some point hahaha

[@j3rkcat]

it really is. i 🖤 him so much

[@ThMorrigan]

Chris in general is just very relaxing

[@Maddied0818]

I totally agree with you

[@maricecaudill4704]

I love it!!!

[@trinitycrow4838]

He is such a softie, you can see how uncomfortable he feels but he powers through it. Such an amazing band to see live and I hope one day I'll be able to afford a meet + greet with them

[@TaylorKnightCosplay]

Trinity Crow we need more guys like him.

[@gerdes75]

He is very kind during meet and greets. My daughter made me to the concert. He laughed and said he would make sure I left a bigger fan than her. We chatted for a minute about music.

[@ThMorrigan]

James Gerdes chris is so damn sweet, hearing stories like that about motionless makes me wanna just cry my eyes out! Five of the best guys you could ever met!

[@LostCompositions]

James seems good at helping Chris feel comfortable when he starts being critical of what he's saying! Skilled interviewer.

[@jimginter6802]

He's a solid interviewer, great to see some one so adept at what they do

[@lorenam.2660]

I just love seeing Chris talking so passionately about the record, the music video, etc. It makes everything they do so much more personal and overall amazing. He's such a great and honest guy

[@Stevenc172s]

[@lorenam.2660]

@@Stevenc172s same! One day I'll have to buy a vip ticket to get the chance to talk to them. They're all so down to earth and that's what makes their band so personal and appealing to fans

He is just amazing love everything they've put out even the very first ep 😊 and chris has some beautiful hands

[@acefire2514]

No band should feel obliged to constantly tour, like they’re human and need a break as much as anything✌🏻

[@cloverle9827]

Acefire its kinda fucked up that they are made to feel that way

[@yukikittyy3522]

That's how the music industry goes. Especially when the bands are big an famous like motionless in white an others.

[@cloverle9827]

Yuki Kittyy damn that’s sad /:

[@phant0m0th_]

@@yukikittyy3522 the other thing is people want to see them in different parts of the world...but there's not enough time to do it all. Especially as a band with any sort of fame/recognition; and splitting it up to where you don't overwork youself. You should never get to a point where doing what you love turns into a "job" or "chore" Honestly I think bands need to take long breaks away from each other, hang out with family and friends, maybe work on personal life or work...have a solo job or whatever it may be... Bands shouldn't feel they have to cater to the fans' wants and needs, even though there are folks that will disagree

[@acefire2514]

@@phant0m0th_ totally agree, of course I'm so happy and grateful I got to see them in my country (a few shows prior to this one in London actually) but I don't expect them to come every few months or something, that's just crazy

7:20 “Allow me to finish so I don’t put it all on you”... how is he so diplomatic? I hate being interrupted and could never respond so politely! Love Chris!

[@MANofSHAZAM]

I was at that show. great night. I like how humble Chris is.

[@Stevenc172s]

Michael Lyle Yea, wouldn’t want to see his angry side but he seems like a chill ass dude

[@Basu117]

I saw a lot of bands live this year and MIW was by far the best. Great setlist, tight performance, lots of energy and you can tell Chris and the band are really down to earth dudes who appreciate their fans.

Yo @Basu nice seeing u here love your instrumentals your the best on the whole platform :)

Chris is such a humble dude. Would love to hang out with him.

For having such a deadly beast of a voice he seems super soft spoken and humble. Need more guys like that in the scene.

I so wish I could see MIW but idk anyone who also listens to them😭😭🖤🖤

[@levi1861]

At the time I went to the concert I also didn't have friends who listened to them as well and/or could fo to the show with me, so I went alone. And it still was great, so I recomend to go even if you're alone :)

[@aamiw99]

I don't even have friends in the country I live in let alone MIW fans. I just missed them a few weeks ago too. You'll meet friends when you see MIW live. Maybe talk to some people next to you or something.

[@jenni3300]

I've been going to concerts alone for years! Didn't regret one show! After a while I found a Facebook Group with people who also didn't have people to go to shows with & I met up with a few at the next show. I have grown incredible friendships with them & our little concert gang grows and grows, bc we just talk to people who are alone at concerts & it's the coolest thing! :) Just try to put yourself out there. And for now, just enjoy going alone to concerts, there's nothing wrong with it. :)

[@MaggiesNight]

I do! Come see them with me on the 8th!

[@MaggiesNight]

Also I've seen them alone 5 times, it's almost better to be honest...you can get emotional and sing arm and arm with other fans. It's great....my offer still stands for January 8th though!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@bullettotheheart9126]

Gathering coins from the couch cushions, Ive been to every single MIW show near me including Warped Tour but unfortunately this year I just can’t afford it. Motionless has been the one band that throughout all these years has not lost my interest and support. Ive met Chris and he is an amazing guy. No matter what changes go on in the band, I know I will feel something when I hear your music. Thank you for making music I, and many other, can connect and relate to.

[@sophiecat2161]

I'd happily get you a ticket for next time!

[@davejones1218]

Sophie Cat If you can afford it, get a VIP meet n greet package. You still get your admission ticket for GA but you also get 1) to meet the band and receive hugs (most of the time, unless they do a group Q&A type of thing or so I’ve heard. I’ve never been to a Q&A one but every time I’ve gotten hugs.) 2.) if they choose, a Q&A 3.) a vip gift (usually signed posters and pins for jackets) 4.) a VIP photo with the band. And they are very sweet and friendly toward their fans. Chris has a habit of squeezing the air out of me and he nuzzles too. They all nuzzle when they give hugs, some more than others.

I ended up hearing voices by chance on the radio. Frankly i fought listening to it because I tend to stick to what im familiar with and like. I gotta say however, Motionless In White hooked me IMMEDIATELY. And then i kept hearing more and more music by them and i knew i was a fan. I'm not sure what their older stuff was like but i can feel the shift they made recently and I guess what im saying is im happy found them. I cant put into words what i like. Theres something there that makes my mind feel at ease when i hear their music and that doesnt happen often. Thank you motionless in white!

I feel like Chris describes this kinda of Murphy's Law effect within the band. Rolling through the motions of everything like communication, line up change, chemistry, just anything that could naturally happen for better or worse. Either way, whatever happens is meant to happen. But it has made them a tighter unit which in turn gave Disguise the vibe that it was born with
