In November 2001 in Munich (right after the US attacking Afghanistan) some guy shouted "No war! Noooo waaaaar!" while Steve was fixing his guitar or sth.

Then Steve went to the microphone and said: "Ladies and gentleman, we have a genius among us. He has thoughts on war at the time. Well, war is something that I have not been thinking about for a very long time. Is there anything else you want to tell us?"

The guy: "Yes! Nooo waaaar!"

Steve, Bob and Todd looking at each other in a baffled way.

Steve: "Now shut the fuck up!"

At one of the morning ATP shows someone asked something along the lines of

"why are you playing a gig so early?"

to which Todd looked horrified, said

"Wait, this is the gig? I thought this was the soundcheck"

got up and walked off to the back, rummaged around in his bag and came back to the drums with his sunglasses on.

"Todd, what is your favourite colour?"

(gets up from kit, laboriously walks to mike)

"Clear. "

(goes and sits down again)

"Todd, who does your hair?"

(gets up from kit, laboriously walks to mike)

"Ah, there's like a whole crew of people involved.... "

Vera, Groningen, 2004-ish.

"Why are you called Shellac?"

Bob: "Why do I get all the geek questions?"

Steve: "Shellac is an industrial product, made by insects."

Todd, visually irritated behind his kit, puts down sticks, walks up to one of the mics: "Because the Todd Trainer Project was too long."

My fave was @ S.O.B.'s a while back:

Fan: "What amplifiers are in those cabinets?"

Bob: "Peavey Bandit. Next question."

As a fan of shellac, i know about their amp choices. I used to inform people. Now I just lie. It's much more fun.

"Is Todd single?"

(A short delay as Todd stands up, walks around his kit and leans over to the mic)

Todd: "I prefer to spend my free time with my parents."

Hahaha, this one's my favorite.
And also that thing with the sunglasses. He should get more questions.

I loved his "DON'T BOTHER ME" speech at the Touch and Go anniversary.

At the saturday morning Hideout show.

"Todd what did you have for breakfast?"

"About Eight Tylenol"

I don't know why, but it made me laugh.

"my girlfriend wants to marry todd"

steve: "is she sturdy? does she bruise easy?"

Probably because it was funny!
