Two questions for the whole band that you’ve probably been asked before 1. Since the violin is already a big part of your sound have you ever considered going all out and composing with an orchestra or even just a larger string section? 2. Have you ever considered writing a single track album, like insomnium did with winter’s gate, or bell witch with mirror reaper?

Tina

Hi guys, what are your individual/personal/artistic plans for 2021? What are your hopes for 2021? Will you get vaccinated against SARS-CoV2 once it's available in your country? Additional: If you could collaborate artistically with any artist (dead or alive), who would that be and what would you do? Can't think of much smarter questions.... Best wishes, happy holidays, and hopefully see you all some time in 2021. 🖤

I don't mind if these are answered by all or anyone in particular. And feel free to ignore any you're sick of answering // too offtopic. 1. How do you balance creating enough content for / engaging with patreon tiers & still making sure it serves its primary purpose of funding the band? Does it ever feel like tiers need to be readjusted, or perhaps could higher 'no-reward' tiers be successful? 2. If the opportunity arose would you guys do a piece of music for a game or movie? 3. Do you guys have any negative (or rather, bizarre / memorable) fan interaction stories? Worst gig? 4. What do you all think of advertising via social media? Is it a useful tool or a necessary evil? Could any upcoming band hope to succeed without it? 5. Given the chance would any of you particularly like to be on an Ayreon album? 6. Have any other musicians ever approached you about potential guest spots on a NeO track? 7. What were your go-to bands in highschool? 8. What do you geek out over?

Mat

Hello band, a few questions for you all • What means Ne Obliviscaris for you? ‌ • What do you think describes your music and what makes it unique? Guys, you've been touring together for a long time, so I guess this answer will be easy: • Who is the one who... - is always late? - gets the worst mood when is hungry? - has all his things messy all over the bus? Greetings, Margarita

Hey guys! Hope y'all are staying safe and healthy. 1. What are each of your musical influences metal or non-metal? 2. Will there be a single for the new album? 3. What is the longest song on the new album?

For Tino, what do you do to the bass to get the tone you use in NeO songs? I love the tone but cant figure out hot to get it on my bass. Any specific pedals or other effects? Thank you!

Eva

Hi guys, My questions are for all of you, so I am looking forward to your answers 🤗. Some are rather silly, I hope you have fun 😉. 1) Which song is your song of 2020 and why? Gor example it helped you to get through the exhaution that was this year , because it’s the fitting Soundtrack or because it has a special meaning to you. 2) How would you describe the new album in three sentences that sound like lyrics written by Xen? And Xen , please describe the album as if you were Martino 😉😁🤗 3) If you were to play a Halloween show and you could pick costumes for everyone, which costume would you pick for whom and why? Thank you so much for being the wonderful humans that you are! I am so much looking forward to your new album ✨. Stay safe and cheers to a good 2021, with tours and meet ups. Hugs and much love, Eva

Dina

Hey guys, I hope you are doing fine! These questions are for everyone: - Have you changed some parts of the new album while waiting to go into the studio? - Do/did you have any pets? Can you tell us something about them, their names, how you got them etc.? - Have you watched any livestream performances lately? If yes: from which bands? Thank you!

Cormac Jordan

For the full band: - When do you feel a song is done? Is there a certain structure you feel needs to be met (even something as simple as beginning, middle, end), or something else you are looking for? - How are you each currently trying to push yourself as an individual musicians? Is there a technique/genre/song you are trying to learn as your own personal challenge? - For Matt and Benji, what is your honest review of your Ormsbys and what are the upsides and downsides of them for you? Interested to hear from both Matt given he endorses them now, and Benji given it seems like you tried Ormsby but decided Carillion was more your thing.

Anca

I'm a bit late,but in case you still get this list with my question too, here is one for everyone in the band. It's been 4 years of Patreon and some of us are the usual suspects and have been here since day 1. What are your funnies/ best memories related to Patreon and the fans you got to meet through the years? Did this change your perception of what a fan base means? Thank you guys and stay all safe! Hope to see you all soon!
