IamA Musician/Actor Drake Bell - Ask me anything!

Drake, please tell me the new Drake and Josh movie is not a joke. Is there really going to be a new movie? If so, what can you say about it? I loved that show and a new movie would be awesome.

I would LOVE to make this new movie with Josh we just need you guys to go on all the social media outlets and make it blow up!!

So it isn't being made as of now?

being written

I called these kids that were annoying me boobs back in like 5th grade and I got sent to the office, but it was worth it because Drake and Josh

hahaha that's awesome!

Hi Drake. I’ve got a friend who’s into some pretty extreme black metal bands. One day he tried to buy a T-shirt online for some band, I think maybe it was God Dethroned or something. It was a depiction of Jesus on the cross, with his hands positioned like Baphomet and demons feasting upon his flesh. There was blood and pentagrams everywhere. Enough to make any good God-fearing Christians roll up their windows and lock their doors. Anyways when the shirt finally arrived it was a children’s size large with a giant picture of your face and the words “It’s Only Time” written underneath. Apparently the shipper made a mix-up, which means somewhere, there was a pre-teen fan excitedly opening up their new Drake Bell T-shirt they got in the mail…

Anyways, my friend gave me the shirt that has you on it. I cut the sleeves off and now I wear it sometimes when I drink beer.

This is the best story EVER! Let's get a beer!

Why did you hurt Bieber's feelings? You know how fragile he is

a delicate wittle flower

You were always portrayed as the hot stupid one and Josh was the nerdy weird one. Was that similar to what you guys were like in real life?

yup pretty accurate! haha

Hey Drake, it's your lead guitar player Andy Alt. After our rehearsals, what happens to all of the guitar picks I lent you? (*I relinquish all of the guitar picks thrown to fans, brotha :)

they end up with my socks and kapos!!

Did you and Josh Peck instantly hit it off when you first met? I feel like that was a thing...

yup I've always thought he was hilarious!

Dear Drake,
Why do you look so sweaty in this picture? http://i.imgur.com/1ZKHFO1.jpg
Thanks for the AMA,
Lucas

Because it was really hot!!

Hey Drake; I saw you at Disneyland last year; waiting in line at Star Tours. Being fans of Drake and Josh and your characters in The Amanda Show, me and my friend were starstruck and really wanted to say Hey; but didn't want to bother you but...uhh. Hey.
I'm also very excited for the new Drake And Josh movie.

You can always bother me when I'm at Disneyland!

I've always been curious about the "live audience" of the Amanda show. Was there ever really any audience members or was that always fake? Did they just grab random people for a few minutes? And do we really have a new Drake and Josh on the way? That's awesome news if so!

We actually did have a live audience! Hopefully a new movie with Josh soon!

What is your opinion on iCarly? How come you didn't have many appearances?

I thought iCarly was great. Huge fan of Jerry Trainor!

Hey Drake,

I remember you learning guitar, and practicing in Doc's shop when my band used to play there. I think you were going to take lessons from our lead guitarist at one point. I also remember your dad offering to manage us, in hindsight we probably should have said yes.....too funny.

Glad to see you've had such great success, keep up the good work!

whoah crazy! who is this?

Hey Drake! I'm a big fan! I grew up watching D&J and it I still watch it occasionally! I have a few questions for you.

1) Will you be making another Drake and Josh movie?

2) What's your favorite TV show?

3) will you be my best friend?

4) If you could collaborate with any artist(s) in history on an album who would it (they) be?

I really want to make another movie with Josh. So hopefully soon! One of my favorite shows is Criminal Minds I'm so lucky to have been able to collaborate with one of my favorite guitar players and singers Brian Setzer on my new Album! Can't wait for you guys to hear it.

Which episode of Drake & Josh did you enjoy filming the most, and do you pick up as many chicks in real life, or is josh the babe magnet?

Josh is definitely the babe magnet!

Thanks for the AMA!

What was a typical day on the set of Drake and Josh like?

How were your co-actors?

Do you still keep in touch with any of them?

What was your first six months like after the show?

My co-stars were the best! We are like a family and still hang out all the time. I just had dinner with Josh last night!

Ever think of doing a cover album of your favorite artists?

MY NEW ALBUM ACTUALLY HAS A FEW COVERS OF SONGS I GREW UP LOVING

What was your all time favorite episode from Drake and Josh? Do you think you and josh will make another movie?

how much would you dig a new Drake & Josh movie?

I think I'm speaking for all of us when I said we'd all totally dig a new Drake & Josh movie.

Get the word out!!

How was it to work with Leslie Nielsen when you did Superhero Movie?

also i crack up every time in the movie at your line "I'm not wearing any diamonds." i love your delivery of it and i cant help but laugh when i see it.

Working with Leslie was so cool! i grew up loving his movies.

Drake, you were in this Gushers commercial back in the 90s right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTjTnjUftQw

I've always wondered how it was like being on the set of one of those? Did they make you wear some crazy green screen thing?

WOW!! i haven't seen that in forever!

Hey drake. A few months ago one of my very good friends got invited to a club in Hollywood where she met you, I always go out her, but this particular night I did not! I was so bummed! Because I'm a fan of your music. Any-who, have you ever played any clubs or open-mic nights secretly in downtown la, Hollywood, or anywhere randomly? Just for fun. Would you ever?

Yeah I might be at a jam at Michaels in North hollywood next wednesday

Hey Drake! Thanks so much for this AMA! I thought I would try to get a question answered when I saw this on Twitter as I religiously watched Drake and Josh.

So I have a few: What made you get into acting? What made you want to do more music? Do you still keep in contact with most people from Drake and Josh other than Miranda and Josh (Eric, Helen, Walter etc...)?

Thanks again!

Music has always been my passion. Can't wait for my new record to come out and to play it live!

Hey Drake. Thanks for doing this AMA!

What was your favorite skit on The Amanda Show and what was your favorite episode of Drake and Josh?

For those of us over the age of 20, can you explain what your show is about?

It's about a sponge that lives in a pineapple under the sea!

Mexico misses you! when are you coming? I want to know! I want to meet you! Te amo!

Hi Drake, thank you so much for doing this AMA! I'm a huge fan and I have tons of questions but I'll narrow it down.

You get a lot of your musical inspiration from past musicians and bands. Who are your favorite current or new artists?

Do you have any aspirations that the public doesn't know about? Perhaps behind-the-scenes endeavors, or secret hobbies/passions?

Thanks again. I can't wait for the new album!

I love Rufus Wainwright

Are you still collaborating with Backhouse Mike?

Actually we just played together at the Dolby opening for Brian Setzer!

who's your inspiration as a musician? and as an actor?

The Stray Cats The Beatles The Beach Boys Queen Elvis Eddie Cochran Gene Vincent......

When you first started the show, would you have ever thought that it would have blown up so much?

I had no clue but we have the best fans in the world!!

Telegraaaaapph, telephone, tell a friend you're leaving...

I just wanted to say that I love that song :) So thanks for that bit of musical genius :)

Thank you so much! i'm stoked for you to hear the new album coming out in the spring!

Who has been your favourite person to work with during your whole career?

so far my favorite person I've worked with is Brian Setzer!

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

a duck sized horse would be so adorable

I think everyone on here professing to love Drake Bell needs to go to the link above ( FundAnything.com/Drakebell), and put their money where their mouth is and help Drake make his dream album everything it can be! COME ON! Just $10.00 from everyone here! I DARE YA! Do it today!

That sounds like a great idea!!

You're one of my favorite boobs ever.

What do you enjoy more, making music or being on tv and why?

What do you do when writing a song/album that helps you create music that sounds the way you want it to?

I love them both. But there is nothing like playing your songs live! My new album is on the way so you'll get a chance to come and check us out!
