Finally in HD quality! I like what they did with this BTS video. Very modern twist to a Making Of in 2022. No way people would now have the attention span to see a 30-min Making Of like we had on MTV 20 years ago lol.

Plus, she can make a worldwide Tour but not get a physical CD release? When has that ever been seen? It just doesn't make sense. I'd say the chances of not getting a CD/Vinyl are low to none. We shouldn't even worry about that, tbh.

There’s no way we aren’t getting a physical CD. Avril is too old school to rely only on streaming. I doubt she would’ve even signed a contract with DTA unless they assured a physical release. We’re talking about a hugely known artist with 20 years of career, not some up and coming singer.
That being said, it has to be an old interview since the record is coming out in February, and vinyls/CDs must’ve already been sent to print. No way she doesn’t have an album title two months ahead of its release.

This somewhat concerns me? On the one hand, she's like "loud guitars and live drums from beginning to end" and then she mentions him, a hip-hop/rap artist and says this song is different. I do not want another one of those "doesn't fit on the album" songs where they're aiming at a pop hit, ugh. I hope this is not the case.
I don't quite get why she says 'Bite Me' is the most alternative song either. If 'Bite Me' is the heaviest song...lol.
Another thing that worries me is that she mentions oh so many different collabs, as if at least half the songs were collabs. But the alleged final tracklist only mentions Blackbear, MKG and Mark. This interview must've been done over a month ago for sure. If that's the case, I'm glad she's ditched the other collabs, even though I'm sad she won't include the Yungblood one nor the Modsun one.

If so many people have seen the cover already, it's only a matter of days until it leaks. I hope Avril is quicker and gives us the album cover sooner than that.

Ok I fully agree on the fact that less is more and that it’s not about quantity, but quality. However, even though I was expecting the songs to be shorter than usual, I was hoping we’d get a 14 track album at least + 3 bonus for the deluxe (I’m almost 100% sure we’re getting a deluxe) , so that would’ve made it 17 tracks and I’d be more than happy. Just a couple more songs could’ve been nice given the fact that they will be shorter.
Something I don’t like about Bite Me is the fact that it ends so suddenly, like it could’ve had an epic explosive outro just to let the song breathe completely, but falls short when it ends so abruptly. That’s what I don’t like about shorter songs. However, a song like Take Me Away, which is among her shortest, is a super complete song. So it will depend on how well they lay them out on those 2 and a half minutes.
I guess the 12 Tracks are pretty much confirmed since there were 12 songs on her guitar and Bite Me was written out more than once and it stands out from the rest. Also, red background and black balloons…anybody else thought of the Luv Sucks photoshoot??

12 Tracks of 2:30 min duration in average would be a freaking joke. People keep whining about the album title when we should really be worried about this actually being 12 tracks. And we know for sure these songs won’t even last 3 min each. Maybe the only exception will be Dare To Love Me, which is the ballad. I mean, we’re talking about a 27-30 min album if that’s the case. I’ll be very pissed is this is true.

Are we sure this is the same BTS?

I think she did pretty good at this interview. The hostess was great with her questions and yes, it is tiring to hear her give the same answers over and over again but that’s just because we follow her and we check all of her interviews. People will most likely have the same questions. Let’s remember this aren’t interviews tailored to fans but to particular niche audiences from each show.
I wonder how this Sk8er Boi movie (if it ever comes to fruition) will be. I can’t see it on a streaming service, to be honest. I think she’ll go with the MGK approach in Downfalls High and probably make a storyline with songs form AL7. We’ll see.
I am curious. When she talks about it not going well with the first batch of producers during LG, is she referring to the B-Sides? It would make sense, since they sound very pop and nothing like her music ended up being like. But tbh, I’m not sure if these B-Sides were produced by Cliff Magness.

I wish she’d stop saying “like” in between every other word. I’m not sure why she does that, she has always done it to some extent but this era’s interviews have been almost unbearable, despite the fact she otherwise is extremely talkative and giving lots of info. Maybe it’s like the equivalent of “umm” to her and I get using filler words when you’re thinking but it gets annoying super quickly. I wonder if she’s even aware how much she says it. That’s the only thing that’s bothering me about these interviews lol Well this new one didn’t really reveal anything new anyway. And let’s not forget her new favorite world “gnarly” she uses in every single interview now 😂

I felt the same way about her avoiding the anniversary topic. Other than saying she would celebrate it in the summer (whatever that ends up being), she tried to skip the topic for the most part. I think a US summer tour for the anniversary would be freaking great, but I doubt she would relearn all 13 tracks again to play them back to back. At least a virtual concert would be amazing. To have her singing deep cuts 20 years later is something we would all cherish.

Is it me or does she sound a lot more natural here? Like she’s not so heavy on the Malibu girl accent and sounds a lot more Canadian lol. It’s almost as if I was listening to 2005 Avril.
Nice interview! And again, so proud of her for standing her ground and being done with labels forcing pop hits on her. This is her finally having the freedom she’s wanted for years and years, so I’m a proud son!
She said something about celebrating the anniversary in the summer, hmm, makes me wonder since she’s got some US dates planned in the summer. Could it really be a special Let Go Anniversary tour where she plays the entire record and some of her hits? I think I would even consider flying to the States if that happened! Literally would be a once in a lifetime experience. But we’ll have to wait and see, I don’t see her relearning all of the LG songs lol.

I don't know if this has been said here, but apparently the album cover is her wearing a dress (I'm thinking a plaid skirt) and holding some balloons. I hope she isn't using the balloons to spell out the name of the album because it's such an unoriginal concept. This is what has been said, and that the album is indeed called Bite Me. I don't think it was said here.. where did you read it? ATRL. Someone who knows a person working in Warner apparently “Oh last time I checked it's called BITE ME too, she is wearing a dress holding some black ballons in the cover.”

Following over 1400 people on IG, it’s weird she hasn’t followed Avril back, especially after last night. But who knows? Maybe she’s not to aware of who she follows or gives a follow back, I don’t really know how Gen Z kids roll these days lmao.
