THE VOYEUR: How did you come up with the name
Roveen?
Nolan: We came up with the name Roveen one day when we were driving home from
Wendy's and we had a show the next day and we were like "man we need a name
ASAP” and as we turned on to the street we lived on, Roveen Avenue,
a kid in the car with us was like "Dude, just name it Roveen." After we laughed
for a while at how lame we thought it was we said, "Ok" and then never changed
it.
Did you all really get inked? Whose
idea was it?
Chris: Hell yes we did, we all got the Roveen R on our forearm. I don't know
whose idea it really was to get it done we all just kind of thought it would be
cool to get it tattooed somewhere, originally we wanted to get it on our necks
but then we thought that was a little intense and went with the arm.
Tell us about the day you ran into
Chris in Arizona…
Noah: Haha, well we had been posting ads on myspace and all those sites looking
for someone to sing for our band and Chris had replied to our ad. We just kinda
thought yeah yeah he'll
 never
show like the rest of em. So we had set up a time to meet at a restaurant near
the band house and surprisingly he showed. He rode the city bus for like three
hours just to get there...he was decked out in his G&R apparel and
bandana...totally Axl Rose. We thought holy crap this is gonna be hilarious.
And it was. We talked for a bit, went to jam and
ended up writing and recording a song the very first day. We just all hit it off
from the get go and have been best friends since that day.
Chris at what age did you realize you could sing?
Any stories about it?
Chris: I realized I could sing around age 18. I started out just singin
along to "Appetite for Destruction" haha and the first Audioslave album, and
after meeting Noah and Nolan I realized that this is what I want to do with my
life and started developing my own sound from that point.
