Would you have interviewed Nuno Bettencourt in the same way when he was touring with Rihanna?

If so (and assuming the artists involve know this) I would suggest that you need to find a way to totally master dead-pan, and also develop some quirkier off-beat ideas that genuinely throw people or make them think about context. And try to get a little bit more actual content in there, so even in the midst of parody/mockery the viewer still feels like they maybe learnt something or were at least entertained.
And seriously, go and watch every single "Philomena Cunk's World of Wonders" and "Cunk on ..." segments that you can find (Charlie Brooker/Diane Morgan) and unpick what makes those great.
{Edit: if it's supposed to be serious, I need recalibrating}

I love a rig rundown but with that approach I'm obviously not in the target audience. I'm quite impressed by people who got as far as 5 minutes into it.
The Premier Guitar people are a bit blundering but they do some research and are respectful. It's an approach which can be a bit boring but as an interview technique it's often a good way to let artists show what absolute twats they can be ( yes Steve Morse, yes The Darkness...).
I guess if I’m being fair minded - you succeeded if you were aiming to be disrespectful.
You did ask.
1 - Provide a rig rundown that people might want to see.
2 - Provide entertainment.
3 - Build an audience.
Because your approach to #2 is such a niche taste, most folk won't go past a minute or two (which means that #1 fails due to lack of audience retention, and so #3 fails by default) and it feels a bit like the opportunities you have - interviewing much bigger artists than your channel size would normally allow you to get hold of - might be a little wasted.
While I appreciate that it's difficult to find a unique angle for YouTube content these days, it might be an idea to abandon this particular persona as it doesn't seem like it's really working and come up with something less Marmite in appeal.
Also, on a more personal note, if you genuinely haven't got a clue who Nuno Bettencourt is, I weep for your soul.
- provide a rig rundown, but in a different way
- provide comic relief under the guise of rig rundowns/artist interviews, but where the point is missing the point
Then work up from that.
Assuming this whole thread isn't some meta-wind-up, of course
That is, assuming that isn't your normal character already, of course .
