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!
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
shocked is not the word. i just got finished reading the interview and i was blown away. it shows the true Chris Daughtry! not the one that EW reporter showed. to think that some one could view Chris as a grumpy person!!! its crazy. i thought the interview rocked and that Daughtry fans should really read it. it kinda gives you an inside look into the life and times of Daughtry!! welp gotta go got more Daughtry stuff to look at!! MUCH LOVE TO ALL DAUGHTRY FANS!!!
I wanted to see you at the 930 in DC- after all- I've seen such great bands as Evanescence, Train, POM, Velvet Revolver, AudioSlave, and the Goos- but I did not get an advance notifier and of course, you are sold out! I found a listing on Ebay Express and here is what it said:
"BUY IT NOW $125.00 FOR EACH TICKET
"GENERAL ADMISSION"
I HAVE A TOTAL OF 6 . IF YOU WANT ALL 6 THEN JUST ENTER 6 IN AMOUNT AFTER YOU CICK BUY
THESE WILL SELL FAST....
EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND. AND I HAVE THEM
All I have to say- is WTF? Did you know these a**holes are doing this, and if so, do you approve?
This is total Bulls***- I mean, I am seeing CC at RHL on Tuesday, and I have an extra tic, but I am not being a jerk and selling for 4 times the price!! Isn't there anyway real fans can get tickets without being ROBBED??
FIRST THING, THIS WEBSITE IS AWESOME. I ALWAYS KNOW THERE WILL BE AN UPDATE ON CHRIS AND THE BAND. DAUGHTRY IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ALL THE TRULY HAPPY MARRIED COUPLES WITH KIDS. YOU GUYS ROCK BUT YOU'RE STILL NORMAL PEOPLE LIKE US KEEPING IT REAL. PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP; BUT TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF TOO. WE, YOUR FANS, WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU!!
For one thing, I really appreciate how this site keeps us informed of everything going on with the band. I check in every day so I'm confident I don't miss a thing!
This interview was awesome! It covered a lot of ground and everything I read just made me love this guy even more. Chris is always Chris -- true to himself, his beliefs, his work ethic, and his moral standards. What a breath of fresh air -- especially for a rock band. Chris is devoted to being the best he can be in every way. No wonder all his fans love him!
That interview was great. I am so glad to hear that you weren't really grumpy like that EW article made you out to be. I just knew that wasn't usually how you would be. Like you said you are only human and anybody can have a bad day and that writer shouldn't have focused on only that. You are a fantastic musician and a very intelligent person. I am pleased to hear that you guys are behaving yourselves on tour. LOL Your wife must be so proud of you. I can really tell that you love your family and missed them. Your fans appreciate your families support so you can be out on the road performing great shows and writing great songs.
Daughtry is a totally awesome band. Congratulations on ALL of your success, you totally deserve it. Good luck and God Bless!!
This is such a great interview. You're just the cutest thing I've ever seen and I love how real you were with your responses. For instance, the "Rainbow Butt Monkeys", just topped it off for me.. lol I was crackin' up..
great CD. Im a 80's metal guitarist ( retired of coarse) and this takes me home.
Also a native of NC but imprisoned in South Jersey
Would like to know if Chris did all the backing vocals on the CD. If so, Impressive range bro.
Eveytime I hear an album I like, it seems Josh freese is playing the drums on it. Nice choice,really caught my ear,......
I even liked Kelly Clarksons album with Josh on it.
Would loves to have been in the Studio for this CD watching, and learning, can never learn enough .
Nice work Chris , I like Gone and Breakaway the most I think. maybe going through a heartbreaking and unwanted divorce currently has something to do with it.
Really great interview Chris, not only are you a awesome singer/song writer, you are also an awesome person. You have a beautiful Spirit Chris Daughtry and you will go far in this world. The Band appears to be a pertty awesome group of guys also. You guys are a truly unique individuals. I'm totally exicted that you guys are working on some new songs, can't wait.
Hey Chris!
I really enjoyed reading your interview! You seem, just like what I thought of you when you were on Idol, like a very nice, sweet and grounded guy. People seem to try to focus on the negative cause they think thats a better story, but I'm more interested in someone I feel is a nice and just good person at heart. Someone can be talented, but if they have a s*@tty attitude, it's a big turn off. So, you being as incredibly talented as you are, and be a very cool and regular guy, makes people like you all the more! And, those of us who are your true fans, know that every single person walking this planet has a bad day every now and then or has something that annoys them - So, I thank you for being human and just an all around good guy! LOVE the music and I hope you keep making albums for a LONG time - cause I'll keep buying them!
Best of luck to you and the band - and God Bless!
Hope to see you on the road!
Great interview, I love how candid and REAL Chris is. Hope he doesn't let the negative stuff get to him. Lots of those people just love to get something bad on paper! I was hoping he was writing some new songs. CAN"T WAIT til the next CD comes out. But I will. A fan from the beginning. It was great to see the video Home. I was there for his homecomming after Idol. What a GREAT second homecomming. Or I should say 3rd. as he did the freebee there. Or was that the one. Now I'm confused. And I want to add my admiration to the others about his dedication to his wife and family and being a clean band. If more performers were out there with a postive uplifting message as Daughtry is, maybe we wouldn't have tragedy's like VA TECH. There's so much bad stuff in all medias. God Bless, Chris, the band and all their families.

chriskrazy
I just love you. Not many "rock" bands are actually trying to keep it clean. You have so much passion for what you do, and it shows through when you talk about forming the band, the songs, how it comes natural to you. I bet Toby Mcquire thinks what you do is hard. I am glad you had such a good time hanging out. There are some perks to being famous.
I loved this interview..
Chris is so funny....
"Rainbow Butt Monkey's"????? OH GAWD NO! he's hysterical.
I love how he talks about Karen....(we are talking about OUR Karen here right?)
What an upbeat interview!
As others have commented, the interview is very "down to earth" but I think that's how you are. A very real, down to earth, good hearted person. I'm so grateful to hear that your relationship with your wife is better than ever!! My prayers are with you, your family and your band. Take care and God bless!!
Too funny! Great interview... I love when he talks about his wife.
Chris, you're a special guy. We'll do our best to keep you planted at the top...
you just keep liking it there!
Grumpy? No sir, Mr. EW writer. Leave it to EW to try to cast a shadow on a star!!!
Love,
Lisa

CRASHED into CHRIS:
3/21/07, Theater of Living Arts, Philadelphia PA (and on the street, too!!!)
Sounds like Daughtry is getting their experience with the media. Chris is right, someone in the entertainment lime light can have ONE bad day, and that is what is focused on. It is never all of the GOOD that surrounds that one bad day. It is sad, but unfortuneately Chris, you are in the spot light now and being watched like a hawk. Paparazzi, crazy fans, etc. are your life. It is sad that it has to be so excessive. People forget that even famous people we all love are just "people". They deserve their bad days, privacy, and time alone with their families.
Good luck! Love the band and dying to see you all in person in INDIANA~
GOD Bless you Chris, your band and your lovely family!
Loved this article Chris it was great! and it really me made crack up the begining was funny "I'm in the bathroom, it's the only place that is quiet" lol I was cracking so hard and then you go rainbow butt monkeys! haha! I really needed a smile on my face and this interveiw really helped with that. You have such a great sense of humor and your music is awesome too, I can't get enough of it. Continue being the awesome guy you are and never let anyone change you and keep up the great sucess! Take care and God bless you always and forever.!
PS I loved what you said about the band when the interveiwer said "what kind of rock band is that?!" and you replyed with "A clean one. One that's hopefully gonna last a long time!" I really loved that answer and that is what I like about you and the rest of the fellas of Daughtry you guys always stay true to yourseleves and your familes which to me is just beautiful and awesome and I am postive you will be here a long time. What is a world without Daughrty?
--
Crystal ~Roo~
Love is like the rose the more it blooms the more beautiful it gets
Chirs, son, I know you're young and strong, and you love what you're doing, but you need to take care of yourself. Yeah, there's millions of fans wanting to see you, but no one can see you if you're sick! Chill if you need to. Take it easy! We'll still be here waiting for you.
--
Michelle
You seem like such a nice guy! I loved the interview and am glad to hear you are so close with your wife. That is one of the things people love about you is that you are married and have kids. It must be hard to be away. I know it must be hard for your wife to look at all the photos on this website and not be a little jealous. It sounds like you are really working on it though! Good for you!
The "Home" video was great, also! Looks like you are having a blast! Keep up the good work! I loved the show in Birmingham! Can't wait to see you again when you come my way in Alabama! Next time my whole family (I have two sons - 9 years and 5 years) want to come!

fourhiggins
okay i know have already posted something, but i really have to laugh at the rainbow monkey butts to funny im still laughing and I thought i have heard rainbow monkeys somewhere.lol. your right laurie it is on knd I too have kids that watch that show.lol. thats were i have heard it from...
so I found this picture and I just had to post it. he he he hahahah hope you like it....
hope that put a smile on your face.now i wont be able to watch that cartoon without laughing.lol.
hey guys whats up im gonna catch u guys at nassau coliesum on may 18 cant wait we the fans keep u at the top but u do all the work and you guys derserve the credit and to know how devoted you are to your wife and kids is shows us all what a real man you are i admire that about you and never change your way for no one stay true to yourself and you will always have fans that love you well u guys keep up the good work and u are the best band to come out in a very long time love ya doreen long island ny
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!
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 knew from the first time I heard Daughtry he was a born singer. I never watched American Idol until the season Daughtry sang and I was addicted. I have to say I was shocked when the booted him off but I also knew with a Voice like that he couldn't be stopped there. Daughtry has and awesome personality , is very mature, has a great Love for his family and a passion for music this will take him to the top I look forward to hearing more throughout the years. Stay strong their will always be those who leave a bad taste in your mouth with lies they like to spread just forgive them and move on they must live miserable lives if they have nothing better to do then bash those who acomplish their dreams and want to bless others with their talents.
Does anyone know if the concert for Nassau Colliseum in NY is happening on May 18th 2007? I went to Ticketmaster and they have no record of Chris performing there. How accurate is the information posted here as to the concert schedule? Thanks for your answers.
The article was great! One of the best I've seen!! I loved the questions and I really LOVED the answers!! Rainbow Monkey Butt would have been awesome too.... with Chris singing!! He is so real and I am a long time Bon Jovi fan and one of the reasons I admire Jon so much is his dedication to his wife and family and I really admire that in these guys as well! We need more guys like them as role models! Thanks Chris!!
Lol thats sad the only place you can get privacy is in the john lmao... To funny... Loved the interview Chris love ya cause you keep it so real... Don't ever stop and don't ever stop rockin sox guys!!! YOUR THE BEST AND THE KING OF SOUND SCAN WHOO HOO
Keep it real...Thats the wonderful about this man.....crazy diehard fans...o yes i am a crazy diehard fan my room is decorated in nothing but daughtry...my ipod has every daughtry song and ebay has lots of nice stuff that i had purchased including your absent element cd! stay true and stay just how you are and i will always be a diehard crazy daughtry fan!!!!! ...I am glad to see that you are totally being closer with your wife and that you and her are going strong! ...he totally knows how to be himself and doesn't try to be anything he isn't and people that try to make him out to be something else need to step back and quit being that way...Chris is human just like the rest of us he has his good and bad days! So why don't all you people with negative thinking of him take it all away cause there is nothing negative about this man and his band. He writes about every day things in life and thats another thing that makes his music the best! I LOVE YOU DAUGHTRY
I enjoyed reading this interview and I was smiling and laughing the whole time. Im glad you know you have us crazy diehard fans and that made me laugh right along with the rainbow butt monkeys lol. next song " hey hey were the butt monkey "
glad to see you and your wife are closer than ever( that made me smile) it must be very hard for both of you to be away from each other like this.
cant wait to hear the next cd.
Im glad your keeping it real and I hope that never goes away...( im sure it wont)
ROCKHARD ROCKOUT! you guys are the best!!
delanapratt20
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.
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!!!

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!
Keep it up! Hoping to see you in concert soon!

DIEHARD FANS
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.

Blownaway By Daughtry
I knew from the first time I heard Daughtry he was a born singer. I never watched American Idol until the season Daughtry sang and I was addicted. I have to say I was shocked when the booted him off but I also knew with a Voice like that he couldn't be stopped there. Daughtry has and awesome personality , is very mature, has a great Love for his family and a passion for music this will take him to the top I look forward to hearing more throughout the years. Stay strong their will always be those who leave a bad taste in your mouth with lies they like to spread just forgive them and move on they must live miserable lives if they have nothing better to do then bash those who acomplish their dreams and want to bless others with their talents.
CONCERT AT NASSAU COLLISEUM? MAY 18 2007?
Does anyone know if the concert for Nassau Colliseum in NY is happening on May 18th 2007? I went to Ticketmaster and they have no record of Chris performing there. How accurate is the information posted here as to the concert schedule? Thanks for your answers.
LOVE IT~
The article was great! One of the best I've seen!! I loved the questions and I really LOVED the answers!! Rainbow Monkey Butt would have been awesome too.... with Chris singing!! He is so real and I am a long time Bon Jovi fan and one of the reasons I admire Jon so much is his dedication to his wife and family and I really admire that in these guys as well! We need more guys like them as role models! Thanks Chris!!

Chris you are awesome!
Keep it real...Thats the wonderful about this man.....crazy diehard fans...o yes i am a crazy diehard fan my room is decorated in nothing but daughtry...my ipod has every daughtry song and ebay has lots of nice stuff that i had purchased including your absent element cd! stay true and stay just how you are and i will always be a diehard crazy daughtry fan!!!!! ...I am glad to see that you are totally being closer with your wife and that you and her are going strong! ...he totally knows how to be himself and doesn't try to be anything he isn't and people that try to make him out to be something else need to step back and quit being that way...Chris is human just like the rest of us he has his good and bad days! So why don't all you people with negative thinking of him take it all away cause there is nothing negative about this man and his band. He writes about every day things in life and thats another thing that makes his music the best! I LOVE YOU DAUGHTRY
great interview...
I enjoyed reading this interview and I was smiling and laughing the whole time. Im glad you know you have us crazy diehard fans and that made me laugh right along with the rainbow butt monkeys lol. next song " hey hey were the butt monkey "
glad to see you and your wife are closer than ever( that made me smile) it must be very hard for both of you to be away from each other like this.
cant wait to hear the next cd.
Im glad your keeping it real and I hope that never goes away...( im sure it wont)
ROCKHARD ROCKOUT! you guys are the best!!

The world needs more Chris Daughtrys!
He is the personification of "Be True To Yourselfâ€. That was an excellent interview.

Awesome Interview
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.
All the best to Daughtry and their families!
AS ALWAYS...
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!!!
