*Spooky noise* Yes, this is all shrouded in a fog, but I want to keep this a little bit vague as to not give to0 much away! As from making this post, you have 20 hours (Until Midnight 0:00GMT Sunday Morning) to come up with an answer. In fact this competition is so mysterious, I haven’t even thought of a prize yet…maybe I’ll find it when I go shopping today…
ANYWAY: here’s your question, and the best answer will receive a MYSTERY prize:
If you could ask any question to a certain Crush 40 guitarist, what would it be?
Creative and thoughtful questions will be considered the most! To enter, simply post your question below in the comment box.
Right, off for some shopping!
My question would be… “What made you want to become a guitarist, and how did a video game company giant like SEGA find out about your musical talents?”
Another question could be “What was your biggest inspiration as a musician?”
My question. Since you’ve done music in classic Sonic games such as Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles, and with the recent anouncement of Sonic The Hedgehog 4, are you, in some way, involved involved musically in Sonic The Hedgehog?
Sorry! I meant to say Sonic The Hedgehog 4 in the question.
Why did you decide to join and produce music for SEGA?
“Hello (Insert guitarist name here). I would like to ask some questions. What inspiration do you get for your songs? Is it the beauty of live, as shown by “Live Life”, “Open Your Heart”, & “Live & Learn”? Is it the power of history? What are the usual phases of making your songs? Do you enjoy working for SEGA? And if so, Why? And finally, would you like your band to be more mainstream, like on Radios or Live Tours?
-Thank You for your time.”
What is your Best Thing in your life to think about when you Listen to Music?
Is there any pieces of Sonic music you’d like to seen done through you guys?
The question I would ask: “In every song that you write for the Sonic series that has guitar in it, the guitar has this very distinctive tone to it which most Sonic fans refer to it as the ‘Sonic Twang.’ What do you use to get this distinctive guitar tone?”
What happened to Crushes 1 through 39?
^And when will there be a 41?
“Have you ever not liked any of the songs you took part in?”
Have you ever once considered using a hedgehog as a guitar pick?
What was the hardest song you ever had to make for a sonic game?
How did it feel to take part in the biggest collaboration of video game music artists with the Super Smash Bros Brawl soundtrack? To be recording independent music one day, having that honor the next and everything in between, I can’t imagine how you must have felt.
“How different would you say the American and Japanese music industry are today? What are their similarities?” ~ Legendary Emerald
That’s my question for this contest.
“Can I have your autograph?”
I would ask this.
“what do I have to do to get that amazing black sonic adventure guiter you own!!?”
how did sonic affect your life?
is he just a video character for you, or has he changed your life dramatically?
“What do you think you’re going to do when you retire?”
“what is for dinner?”
When you play a “Super Sonic” theme to a Sonic the Hedgehog game, do you feel alive, like you are actually in the epic moment?
Would you ever consider going on tour ?
QUESTIONS:
1) How did you get to know Johnny Gioeli?
2) If you could play favorites, what would be your most favorite song that you composed and why? Your least favorite and why?
3) Can you play any other instruments besides the guitar? If so, what are they?
4) With Sonic 4 on its way following Sonic 3&K, are there any songs in the game that will resemble the late Michael Jackson’s work at all?
Hmm… I would ask… hmm… how about…
Q: How did you first learn how to play the guitar, and what made you want to play for the specific music you have chosen?
If any of your tracks were to be included in the Rock Band Video Game, which ones would you pick for submission?
We know you play the music for many Sonic titles, but have you ever played or completed any of the sonic titles, classic or next-gen?
I’ve heard a rumour you can play the guitar, but what else can you play? Drums? Piano? Chocolate cheesecake? But most importantly, can you play the hedgehog? To be this good takes AGES!
DISCLAIMER: Jamie Bailey does not recommend the use of hedgehogs or chocolate cheesecakes as musical instruments and accepts no responsibility if said guitarist gets injured or suffers death by chocolate.
“Are you an actual Sonic fan, or do you just compose Sonic music for teh monies?”
Not implying anything.

By this I mean was there some point you were down and not much was going your way, something changed and now you produce and compose music for one of the greatest gaming chracter/franchises in history. What was the moment where you deicded you would show everyone “what you are made of” (pun totally intended) and how does that moment affect how you compose music today?
