Hoobastank

Hoobastank told MTV.com that the inspiration for their upcoming album Every Man For Himself and especially the first single "If I Were You" came straight from their tour last year with Velvet Revolver.

"When we were on tour, we had all that shit happening with the audience, and then you have stuff with Scott Weiland, and then you go onto the bus and turn on Entertainment Tonight and you see some [celebrity] bitching about something. It was incredibly frustrating," said Robb. "So I wrote the song based on that, about anybody who takes what they have for granted. And I've found that that's pretty much everybody," according to MTV.com.

The audience was not welcoming towards the Rock outfit while opening up for Weiland and crew.

"We were on the Velvet Revolver tour, and some of the shows were amazing, but some of them were terrible," says Robb. "The audience was filled with guys who love Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots and think everyone else should go to hell. People would turn their backs to us the whole time and keep their middle fingers in the air. But they were probably really upset because they found some rust spots on their Camaros, or because they got their mullets caught in the door while tailgating, and they were like, 'Ow! Damn it! I'm gonna go mess with Hoobastank!'"

Drummer Chris Hesse gave some insight as to what exactly happened between the members of Hoobastank and Weiland while on tour together, reports MTV.com.

"It was kind of strange, because usually when you go on tour with someone for six weeks, by the end you've become pretty good friends with them. With VR, we felt pretty comfortable with all the guys except for one person, who never said a word to me or [guitarist] Dan [Estrin] or anybody until three weeks into the tour, when he was like, 'Welcome to the tour.' Of course, for three weeks he'd been blowing by us in the halls, yelling at his assistant."

Hoobastank's Every Man For Himself is set to be released on April 18.
