First off I can't belive that the EW man thought you were grumpy,thta's weird!Second off,Chris you are so down-to-earth it's not even funny,you are so loving towards your wife and fans anf friends I JUST LOVE YAOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!Yeah it's funny because when my friends are like,"So who's your favorite band?" I'll be like "Daughtry," and they'll say "Oh yeah that guy off of AI5" I'm like "Yeah he's the lead singer,but his name isn't Daughtry it's Chris,and Daughtry is HIS band you know with more than one person," it's funny because everyone,except me,at my school thinks you dropped your first name and is going by Daughtry but I always correct them,becuase Daughtry is the band,not you,you're Chris lol,but in the end they know who you are and the band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YA CHRIS and congrats on all the success

Okay, Rainbow Butt Monkeys aside (loved that), this interview just underscores all that is Chris: humble, honest, ethical and smart. Saying that he and his wife are closer than ever may sound strange to some but trust me, there is ALOT of truth to that. On the surface, separation bringing people closer sounds counterintuitive. Separation from my husband is a part of my life and I can honestly say that when the time for separation comes (deployments, training exercises, etc.) the strong marriages are stronger and the weak ones fracture. Reading about Chris' commitment to Deanna is heartwarming. Cheers to them!
Thanks Cris,thats great to hear-----you ask us not to forget you after idol---and we haven't and we won't. We will keep "DAUGHTRY" at the top of the charts. Count on it!!! Clive Davis has been great to you and us (fans) by letting you do your own music. Love your music-----you look so happy in the "HOME" video.
I also enjoyed reading this article... Rainbow Butt Monkeys.. sure, that was funny... I thought of KND on Cartoon Network. (I have 5 kids, it's only natural!)
But what I found funnier, being in my 30's, was the mention of other "named" bands like Winger and Nelson!!!! Wow, does that bring back memories of hairspray and leather!
We're so much better off with bald heads and denim jeans! That goes for mohawks, snappy fedoras, and all the rest! I'm thankful the glamor days are over and the music comes first.
Anyway, like everyone else has said... we love that you guys are all true to yourselves and we diehard fans dig it!
Great interveiw Chris, This just shows how down to earth you are. The best part i think is that you expressed how committed to your wife you are. Thats the best! ~Luving you~Keep Rockin ~

dude that was awsom! i loved the hole Rainbow Butt Monkeys thing! ha ha that made me laugh so hard! and you totaly cant believe what you read! i read that article in E.W. and i was like WHAT EVER! i dident beleve a word of it! well keep up the good tunes god bless bye.
I could just picture Chris pacing in the bathroom because it was the only quiet place. He's a genuine guy with a great sense of humor- Rainbow Monkey Butts made me laugh out loud!
That was a great article. I am so happy to see that they keep it real. I know it sucks to be away from family, but if you keep the trouble out and don't even get tempted by it, the better. I can't wait to see Daughtry closer to Detroit again. Many blessings on your tour, Daughtry!
Love the article, you always show everyone that you are just such a normal great guy, how can anyone say anything bad about you!! Don't let anyone get to you enjoy this ride you are on!!! Best of luck with everything
Chris is so down to earth! Interviews like this just makes me love him even more. You feel like you know him personally! Chris keep it real and you will go even further! God Bless you and your family!

You are human and that is what your true fans admire about you! Screw EW!! Great interview and much continued success on your tour! Can't wait to hear you again in Addison Texas!
Great interview Chris!! I laughed out loud at "Rainbow Butt Monkeys". Too f unny I loved that you could tell just how down to earth and humble he is, even with this overwhelming success for him and his bandmates. It's great to see such a group of genuine, nice guys get what they have worked so hard to achieve..
i love first and foremost how committed & devoted you guys are to your wives and families and how you guys always voice that. That is SO WONDERFUL. (And Joey, the single one - he's very respectful and respected too...what a fun, nice guy!)
Also love that you all stay "good" and are PROUD of that.
Way to be awesome role models -
You guys are TRUE MEN!!!!!
Here was the highlight of the interview for me....
CONNECT: What kind of rock band is that?!
CD: A clean one. One that's hopefully gonna last a long time! (Laughs)
That's one of the many reasons I love you guys!
Good interview, Chris! You are SHEER PERFECTION!
You guys will last a VERY long time!
You better ...cuz I want to be buying your CD's and going to your concerts forever - K?!
Jill - (ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST DIEHARDS - JUST READ MY SCREEN NAME!
... Huge fan from CT. who's NEVER been so into a band in my entire 34 yrs!!!
PS - Rainbow Butt Monkeys has a nice ring...but yeah, glad you chose DAUGHTRY, LOL!

DAUGHTRY music (live & recorded) is my happy place! BRILLIANT music, THEE BEST voice on this planet, MAGNETIC, RESPECTABLE, band members. Nuff said!
another great interview. At least a few new questions in this one.
Always a pleasure to hear you Chris, even talking about the simplest things.....
Would love it if fans could ask questions..... I don't think we'd ask the same questions over and over like the "professionals" do....
Would love to hear from the rest of the band too!!!
Great interview and thank goodness, Rainbow Butt Monkeys is taken.....all I can think of is Guitar Hero and how I hate that song to play.
Chris, you are such a regular, honest, good guy and this interview showcased who you are and what you're about. There will always been interviews that get misdirected or maligned but that's the business. Definitely, don't believe everything you read. I always concentrate on the good and positive and if I read something that comes across as untrue, I just forget I read it and concentrate on the positive information.
He is the personification of "Be True To Yourselfâ€. That was an excellent interview.
