Clarkson recalled seeing the band in concert years ago. "I’m not kidding. I told y’all in rehearsal. I didn’t even know if y’all knew I was there," she said. "It was years ago, but it was one of the coolest shows — not just musically, like sonic, everything. The video was cool. You put on a hell of a show, I’m just saying. You should go check them out."

"We want to make some kind of spaceship that we fly in and land on this blue planet and then play the album." The lead singer and guitarist also reflected on the Blue Album, simply telling Clarkson, "I love the album myself. I love playing those songs." Close
