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.

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?

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 :)

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

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.
Driz51267 karma
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!
Drake_Bell393 karma
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?
knandermueller226 karma
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!

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?
Drake_Bell290 karma
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.

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

edixonki108 karma
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?
Grace_la0990 karma
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?
Drake_Bell132 karma
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!
Drake_Bell97 karma
Music has always been my passion. Can't wait for my new record to come out and to play it live!

What was 'splash' like? and what is your favorite thing about Disney Land??
ShunStanpike25 karma
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!

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

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.
