Are you ever curious about what one band thinks of another and which bands actually listen and respect eachother? Buzznet wants to know all, so Mike Lewis, the rythm guitarist of Lostprophets, shared his opinions based on the 5 questions DJ Rossstar provided him (below). Read through his then share your opinion in the VMAS forum.

1. Do you still think the MTV VMA's are as important to the music world as they used to be?
Answer by Mike Lewis: I dont think MTV or music channels in general are as important these days.. Its almost as if the music video is dead.. All the music channels play now is reality shows. Music television that doesn't play music.. quite the oxymoron!
 
 2. Who are you looking forward to seeing perform this year? Who was your favorite VMA performer of all time?
Answer by Mike Lewis: To be honest i never really watch them and i have no idea whos playing this year.  The whole show is usually just a bunch of people reading autocue very very badly and looking extremely awkward. I enjoyed sarah silverman hosting the movie awards this year, at least she had a personality. Britney when she had the snake was pretty cool, i remember that one..
 
 3. If you could choose the performance line up for the VMAS , who would you choose?
Answer by Mike Lewis: oh god knows...  as long as the black eyed peas or fergie was nowhere near it i'm pretty easy going, then again she might piss her pants again. JT is always fun to watch, and britney would have to be there just to see what the fuck shes gonna do next!
