When New Found Glory's lead guitarist Chad Gilbert is not out on tour you just might spot him at the movies, on a hike or lounging in the bathtub. Even though Chad is currently taken, ladies take note that Chad will not judge a girl on their booty, but he likes butts and he will not lie.

Buzznet: Do you have a morning bathroom routine? If so what does it entail from when you get out of bed until you are dressed for the day?
Chad: I kind of have a routine. I usually get up around 8 am and go hiking with my upstairs neighbor Toby from H20. When I get back I then take a bath. The hike is a crazy workout on my legs so I’m too lazy to stand up in the shower. I just sit and chill.
Buzznet:Who was your first kiss? Details ... How old were you? Where were you?
Chad: My first make out kiss was when I was in the 5th grade. I lived in an apartment complex called eagles nest. All the kids in the apartment complex were so bored all the time it just seemed like everyone would just cause trouble or hook up. I was hanging out in one of the apartments with friends and this developed 8th grade girl thought it was cute I never made out with anyone so she pushed me on the couch and got on top of me and made out with me. She took her top off to. ha-ha! I was psyched ha-ha. She wanted to teach me how to kiss.
Buzznet: What do you have hanging on your walls in your bedroom? Posters? Artwork?
Chad: I have a painting of Bjork. I have a few framed posters such as The Outsiders, Taxi Driver, and Coal Miners' Daughter. I also have a big collage kind of thing with pictures of all my friends that my girlfriend made me for Christmas.
Buzznet: Do you have any fetishes? Any pet peeves?
Chad: I hate it when people chew with their mouths open. If I can hear people smacking their lips and chomping while eating i tend to rage inside. It grosses me out.
Buzznet: What is the first quality you look for in the opposite sex?
Chad: I like a combo of things. I look at the way a girl eyes squint and shine when she smiles. I’m definitely a booty guy as well but that’s not a quality I first look for, more like an added bonus!
Buzznet: What do you wear to sleep at night?
Chad: I only wear boxer briefs to sleep.
Buzznet: Do you have a nickname?
Chad: I have had tons of nicknames but the most popular is “Chadball”. Madball are friends of mine and my favorite hardcore band so I was given the name.
Buzznet: What was your first job? What was your worst job?
Chad: My first job was at a movie theater. I loved it. I worked there for about 2 and half years. I did everything from tearing tickets to ushering to the concession stand to even popping popcorn upstairs. I would always sneak in tons of friends and sneak free food and drinks. Free movies on off days were rad as well. It did have a few downsides. Popcorn puke did suck to mop up and for some reason when people had diarrhea they couldn't aim right and make it in the bowl. I would gag!
Buzznet: What song do you know every word to, but are totally embarrassed that you know so well?
Chad: 'Man I Feel Like A Woman' by Shania Twain. The melody rules!
Buzznet: What text message or voice mail do you regret sending to someone so much that you will never forget doing it?
Chad: I once was breaking up with a girl and she fully didn't know yet. I was texting a friend about it and I somehow sent the text to the girl. Whoops.
Buzznet: Which era do you most wish you lived in and why?
Chad: I like the style of people back in the rag-time era. It was from 1897 to 1918. It was the first American musical genre.
Buzznet: Do you have any scars? If so what happened? If not name one imperfection on your body?
Chad: I have a chicken pock scar on my right temple. When I was in elementary school I would try to impress the girls and tell them that I got shot by a b-b gun shot me.
Buzznet: If we gave you sourdough bread and you could put anything on your sandwich what would it be?
Chad: Cheese its, peanut M&M’s, turkey, popcorn, French onion dip, lays chips and a garden burger patty.
Buzznet: When you hear the word “oatmeal” what is the very first thing that comes to your mind?
Chad: Breakfast.
