Question
Hey, I had a question about Tim, the lead guitarist.  He's my favorite in the group but I notice that Tim is the only member that doesn't talk about his family. I did come across one interview where he mentioned that the band was playing at a college where his parents originally met and that they come to visit him in L.A. where he lives, bringing him frozen LaCasa Pizza. I also have a feeling that he is of Irish decent because of his last name but has never talked about it. I was wondering if you new anything about his family or his childhood that may have been mentioned. Does he have any siblings? Or if there is a reason why he chooses not to talk about his family?

Answer
I mentioned in my profile that I can't really answer any questions about the band's personal lives, I apologize that I can't be of any help.

One thing I would say is that the band, for the most part, is actually pretty private, all of the members.  There are bits and pieces here and there that we know about their lives, but I think that they all stay pretty private.

Tim, to me, just seems like the quietest one in the band, so maybe that's why we don't know much about him.

These are just my opinions.  I don't know the band personally and I cannot speak for any of them personally.  

Like I said before, I am sorry that I could not be of help to you, but I cannot answer any personal questions about the bandmembers lives.
