Apologies for stating a negative thread - maybe this should be in 'Need to Vent'...... but it pains md that this guy does big artist interviews...... Anyone seen any of his interviews over the last couple of years? They are terrible - he insists on inserting himself into the narrative and is always stressing that he is friends with the artist or band and attempting to portray some sort of deep relationship with them..... it's awful
On top of that he must be one of THE most pretentious people on the planet..... pushing his overblown perceptions of what songs mean and constantly blowing smoke up the backsides of the people he interviews. Urgh..... can we give someone else a turn please?
I am not a fan of Blink 182 but tried to watch a bit of his interview with them..... it's shocking. I challenge anyone to get past the first 5 minutes without the aid of alcohol or narcotics.

But he's truly terrible now!
If you don't mind me asking @roberty why the disbelief about a Kiwi? Are you a kiwi? Or is it just because its a rare occurrence?

Ha ha - you're right @BillDL its just awful isn't it? I feel bad starting a negative thread. I just think it's t worth noting that hes really out there pushing the boundaries of how cringey a person can be.....
Some times I wonder what the artist/band are thinking and wonder they don't call him on his BS......
It shows that there is room for a really good music show - Jools Holland has fallen off (imho) but it'd be great to see a show with good interviews and live performances......
