[AUDIO] New Avril Interview with Virgin Radio 96 (10/5/2011)

[Vondie19]

So she's gonna start working on the 5th album in January, so let's say we'll have it by Fall 2012. That's a long wait, but let's hope she expands her creative process.
Thanks for posting!

It took her like 4 years to release this album... And I know she has some material already for her 5th album but something tells me we will not be getting it as soon as Fall 2012. More like Spring 2013!! I would be very surprised if it was released in 2012.

I really hope WYWH is a bigger hit than WTH if it's to be the last single off GL cause Avril worked really hard for that album and to see barely there recognition for GL is urgg so painful. Hmm maybe she'll be working with Butch again cause I see she's now following him on twitter and is it me or she unfollowed Alex Da Kid lol...anyway I neither want her to rush on this era cause WYWH's got potential nor do I want Epic to 'pull an RCA' on Avril and have her delay her 5th album. Oh btw nice interview

I don't agree Lisa... Avril nearly played all of her hit singles during the Black Star Tour and it wasn't a successful tour at all... I don't get why you're saying that... Little explanations, please ^^!

According to me, she should perform more her new songs for her next big tour (if there is one actually...) and forget about some of her old songs (not all of them though). The songs from "GL" are not used enough on her current tour.

Otherwise, good thing she didn't mention her perfumes for once. She should stick on that path.

I don't think her tour would have been a success no matter what songs she played. Have you read some of the reviews? Not just the reviews by "critics", but the comments in the space under the reviews? The only song from "GL" she's not playing consistently I'd like her to is "Push"; the rest I dislike completely.

She said in the Wonderwall interview she'd like to get to a setlist where she plays only her singles. Her singles consist of my favorite songs, so I'm happy about this. It doesn't please most of her fans, but we have no control over her setlist (despite the "adjustments" she's made from Twitter requests/BA members "suggestions").

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, this is mine.

Well, she needs to keep these singles:

Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I'm With You, My Happy Ending, Nobody's Home, He Wasn't, Girlfriend, When You're Gone, What the Hell, Wish You Were Here.

An Avril concert would be a lot less fun without those, and I know many fans love hearing them. You also have to remember that for each tour, there are new fans who were never able to see her live before and they want to hear those songs.

I don't know why you'd think her playing her most successful and well-known songs is the reason why the tour wasn't as big as past ones.

Upset about there being no US tour. Considering she doesn't sell tickets well here, I could understand her not touring every state, but I think she should have at least done some bigger cities (NY, LA, Chicago, Vegas, etc.) and at least given people in the US a chance to see her. But oh well, I'm sure she'll hit the US on the next tour.

[Papayaxlover]

She said: "this is pretty much the last leg of the tour". So it MIGHT NOT be the last one. Kinda weird she says she may start working on her next record on January given the fact on February she's got some Japanese tour dates...I guess Japan will be the last one then...

I think this record will either come out late 2012 or early 2013. Definetely no 2014 release.

No way, I'd like a mix tour cause I want her singing songs like mobile, tomorrow, my world, fall to pieces, slipped away, innocence, i love you, goodbye, stop standing there..i guess the difference between fans and the other general crowd, is that fans would listen to a song from hers and in a second will identify it no matter if it was a single or not..

Btw I'm looking forward for next record..got lot of expectations but u know only as skipped songs leak I'd have my opinion 'bout, for now just keep waiting time goes by really fast these days..

i feel like she has barely played in the US this tour, is that true or am i just not paying attention?

She hasn't played in the U.S. at all this tour.

[sillyface15]

That's what I thought. How can she do that?

"Goodbye Lullaby" didn't sell as well in the U.S. as it did in other areas. The hope is that she will tour the U.S. in support of her next CD.
