Interviewer: "Uh Nick, the first questions for you" Nick: "Wow"

[@user-fy4ne9qb7v]

Haha right?? Cause its always focused around Alex & the other 3 usually just sit there smiling. I'm glad this interviewer asked the bassist specific things. They all deserve some spotlight

The AM era was all like a persona if you watch interviews from other eras he’s not like this

Omg it’s Martin!! “You know what Martin it’s hard to put your finger on it”

4:47 - the tunes have fired-up in Alex's head haha:p

[@Onmysheet]

Im glad they have a passion with Humbug, it's my favourite album of theirs. I love how some fans consider it as a disappointment. It got rid of that mainstream hype around them and now their making the best music.

[@manar_6536]

I wonder what you think of their latest album, tranquility base, because it’s considered a disappointment too but I fucking love it. do you even still listen to AM? this comment is 8 years old lol

[@Onmysheet]

@@manar_6536 I like the recent album too. The band have proved they aren't one trick ponies.

[@manar_6536]

@@Onmysheet glad you like it! I’ve been falling in love with it lately and you’re clearly an OG, so hearing you say you like it almost feels like validation of my judgement

[@skate_fast_eat_trash9430]

I think this is just a conversation people have with every single one of AM’s albums. Ranging from humbug to their latest album The Car, half the fans are usually dissatisfied(other than with AM the album) which really sucks because there are all these people shitting on the albums online while they’re genuinely all AMAZING in their own right.

[@starfun17]

lol pretty sure nick wasn't even sure who jason newsted was..

[@callumfisher8101]

I mean he was in metallica as their bassist so i bet hes probably atleast heard of them.

[@louissanderson719]

He probably knew

[@MeganRoseTaylor97]

Alex's accent hasn't changed. His voice has obviously gotten deeper, I think you're mistaking that with his accdent.

[@siobhanmckeon9413]

I feel really bad that I'm really just watching this for nick... I love him

[@ispyinthenightsky]

How is Alex arrogant? It's nice to actually see a CONFIDENT Englishman

[@evaevita8440]

Nick has such a cute smile ^^

[@danielmcdermott138]

Nick is the most interesting of them, which is unusual considering the history of bassists in bands (Bill Wyman, John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, John Deacon, Colin Greenwood).

[@Lucasmatheus211]

daniel mcdermott whar about paul mccartney? hehe

[@LourdesLopez-wm7tq]

Flea..

[@lucija5231]

Gene simmons

[@four.out.of.five.margarita7064]

John Deacon is so interesting AND talented, he has taken care of Queen’s finances and has built equipment for Queen such as the Deacy-amp. Bassists are very often introverted and quiet, but when you really get to know them , they’re very often the coolest. No doubt, that they’re mostly the most adorable ones!

[@gustavkviberg4681]

Nick awakens from the basement to do an interview

Don't you mean Yellam'o?

Nick is wearing the same T-shirt he was wearing when I met him at Austin.... he is such a gentleman! The same as Matt.

For the first time i heard nick's voice. Alex just his usual sexy amazing self :)

[@jackwalters2371]

Where's Alex's leather jacket from? Shit looks dope as hell

[@Than_McDowell]

Fans on their message board seem to think he gets all his jackets from a British company called Lewis Leathers. I checked their website and it's all too expensive for me, but I wouldn't doubt it that's where he got this one from.

[@dougster701]

That’s an Addict Clothing leather jacket but it’s based on the Corsair by Lewis leathers which alex wore in the Why’d you only call me when you’re high video
