You asked. Germán Montero answered.
What do you look for in the "perfect girl"? (from SoNiA)
She has to be honest and not put up any fronts.
Do you consider yourself a "metrosexual"? (from SoNiA)
Not at all, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to stuff like that.
Aside from banda, what other kinds of music do you listen to? (from SoNiA)
I listen to some older stuff in English, Norteño and a little bit of everything else.
Do you prefer Latinas? Does it matter where a girl is from? (from luiswhicho)
Honestly, she can be from anywhere as long as we can communicate.
Have you thought about singing corridos? (from Millyy)
Of course, I actually sing corridos during live shows and I'm working on a few more at the moment.
What gets you mad? (from •○tan¡a○•)
I don't like people who are abusive and take advantage of people. I also get angry when people mistreat children and senior citizens. There are a lot of good things that come with having a successful career in music, but there are a lot of vices and bad influences as well.
How do you stay focused on your career and avoid falling into temptation? (from •○tan¡a○•)
Because I grew up with values that I believe in. I also know that above all, my family will always be there to help me.
What's your opinion about the drug war in México? How has it affected you as a Mexican, an artist and as a person? (from •○tan¡a○•)
Well, it's very sad to see our country suffer. Day by day, it affects us all, especially our children, because these delinquents gain more power and the authorities don't do anything. As an artists, I notice that people aren't as willing to go to dances or shows. At the end of the day, there's a lot of really sad things to deal with.
What are your five favorite songs on your iPod? (from [[PEARL]])
"Porque Te Tengo Que Olvidar," "La Cosecha," "Candido Rodriguez" and I don't remember the rest... hahahahah.
Will you sing in English? (from -:-LA CHYNA -:- )
No, I don't think so.
Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend, lover or friend with benefits? (from {♥}Jessica_Yañez{♥})
Yes. I have my friend, girlfriend, lover and wife in her.
Para tí, ¿Qué es lo que necesita una chica perfecta? (from SoNiA)
Que sea muy transparente sin poses y tal cual es.
¿Te consideras un “metrosexual”? (from SoNiA)
Para nada, soy muy flojo para esas cosas.
Además de la banda ¿Qué otro tipo de música te gusta escuchar? (from SoNiA)
Música en Inglés viejita, Norteña y un poquito de lo demás.
Germán, ¿Te gustan más las Latinas o no te importan de dónde son? (from luiswhicho)
Realmente de donde sea, pero que podamos comunicarnos.
¿Has pensado en cantar corridos? (from Millyy)
Claro que si, de hecho canto corridos en el show y estoy preparando algunos otros.
¿Qué es lo que te hace enojar? ¿Qué es lo que saca a Germán Montero de quicio? (from •○tan¡a○•)
No me gusta la gente abusiva y me da coraje que maltraten a los niños y ancianos. En el medio en que te desenvuelves existen muchísimas cosas buenas, gente que te quiere, éxito y por supuesto dinero, pero también vicios y malas influencias,
¿Cómo le haces para no perder tu enfoque en tu amor a la música y no caer en tentaciones? (from •○tan¡a○•)
Porque me inculcaron bases y creo en ellas, pero sobretodo pensar en mi familia me ayuda siempre.
¿Qué opinas de la situación que se vive en México con el narcotráfico y la delincuencia? ¿Cómo te afecta a ti como mexicano, como artista y como persona? (from •○tan¡a○•)
Pues es muy triste ver como nuestro país está sufriendo día a día y que nos afecte a todos, sobre todo a nuestros hijos ya que la delincuencia se apodera más y las autoridades no hacen nada, además de que como artista la gente ya no quiere salir a los bailes y eso se refleja; en fin son muchas cosas muy tristes.
¿Cuáles son tus 5 canciones favoritas en tu iPod? (from [[PEARL]])
"Porque Te Tengo Que Olvidar," "La Cosecha," "Candido Rodriguez" y no me acuerdo de las demás... jajajajaja!
¿Cantarías en ingles? (from -:-LA CHYNA -:- )
No, no creo.
¿Estás casado? ¿Tienes novia, amante, amiga con derechos? (from {♥}Jessica_Yañez{♥})
Si. Tengo mi amiga, mi novia, mi amante y mi esposa en ella.

Germán Montero is doing just fine on his own.
In 2007, after spending six years in what some would consider a dream gig as a vocalist for La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, Montero quit. Some speculated he would jump to "rival" group Banda El Recodo. But within a year, the 29-year-old silenced the rumors and announced he was going solo. Despite receiving support from La Arrolladora diehards, Montero was dogged by accusations that he ditched the band before it could find a replacement. Not so, says Montero: "I didn't leave them without letting them know first, of course not. I did the right thing."
Montero who was born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa and cites Vicente Fernández, Pedro Infante, Joan Sebastián as his idols, released his solo debut, Pensando En Ti, early last year. When the album produced two hits, the romantic title track and the naughty Amantes Escondidos, the singer was quick to give credit to Camacho and his band: "I know I come from a good school… the only thing I learned from [La Arrolladora] were good things."
Montero's graduation came last year, when Vicente Fernández invited him to sing a duet during a live show. Montero is currently working on his new album, which is scheduled for a Spring release. In the meantime, fans can listen to him with Luis Fonsi on the Puerto Rican pop-rocker's banda version of "No Me Doy Por Vencido."
