Night Visions: Our Interview With Imagine Dragons
If you check out the nominations for this year's MTV VMAs, you'll notice some familiar names nominated for Best Rock Video: The Black Keys, Coldplay, Jack White, and Linkin Park. One nominee quickly on its way to becoming a household name is Imagine Dragons, a Las Vegas band who will release their debut album next month. We spoke with guitarist Wayne Sermon about the MTV nomination, what he thought of the band's chances, and their upcoming album.Congratulations on being nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video. How does it feel? What were you doing when you found out? Were you surprised?
I was sleeping and got a call from Dan [Reynolds, lead singer] early in the morning. He was elated. I was just as surprised as him. It was a pretty incredible shock.
You're up against some pretty stiff competition: Jack White, The Black Keys, Linkin Park, and Coldplay. How do you like your chances?
Ha ha, well seeing as we're from Vegas, I'd say the odds are pretty stacked against us. Really though, as cliche as it may be, it's an honor to be put into a category with people we respect so much. All those artists are incredible and we have such high regard for their contributions music.
Will you be attending the VMAs?
Not sure yet.
Will you have an acceptance speech ready or just wing it when they announce that you've won?
Ha ha, well we're certainly not writing any speeches. We're mostly practicing our gracious loser expressions.
